Sacred Honey of the Onaet

Part of Culture of the Onaet
Part of Religion of the Onaet
The honey of the Liligregs is the sacred hallucinogen of the Onaet peoples. It is gathered by delving into Liligreg nests and extracting honey from secretions upon the walls and from specific forms of the liligreg. This honey is then taken to the surface for processing. 
Liligreg honey, called Tenesuee, of the Sacred Honey, by the Onaet, forms the basis of their culture. It is used by their people for its hallucinogenic properties, but also in smaller amounts as a sweetener for their foods. It is also commonly traded as a form of currency among their people. It’s medicinal properties are also well-known to the Onaet, and it also has a place on their religion; as when high quantities are ingested they believe it enables them to perceive divine visions. For this reason their shamans commonly take high doses of the honey to determine the will of their gods. 
Recently, the outside world has begun to take notice of the Sacred Honey. With the slow opening of trade between the Onaet and states of Nomos, scholars and merchants have begun to document the usage of Tenesuee, which is the raw form of the valuable Honeyspice, a highly desired commodity in the north of Nomos. Sources of Honeyspice are minimal in Nomos, but seem plentiful further south. It is unknown what the effect of this discovery will be, and how it shall change the trajectory of the Onaet, and Nomos at large.
