Kupnar

A gathering of huts perched on stilts at the edge of the Nona Marsh forms the town of Kupnar. Noted for the many dragonflies, water striders, mosquitoes, and black flies that buzz over the surface of the swamp, Kupnar holds only a few thousand permanent residents but does a brisk trade in herbs and plants. Alchemists, herbalists, and thaumaturgists travel to Kupnar in search of rare herbs or the seeds of plants nearing extinction. For its small size, Kupnar entertains a lot of visitors.
The secret behind Kupnar's economy is a field of poppies hidden inside the Nona Marsh. These flowers appear identical to the ones grown in the Kalliwah and elsewhere, but heroin derived from them instead induces vomiting and fever and sometimes even causes death. The residents of Kupnar who make use of these Kupnar-Poppies work hard to conceal their crime, for interfering in the heroin trade could bring the attention of warlords from the Kalliwah. Most engage in honest work and turn a blind eye to the few opportunists dealing in the poisonous extract.
