Kortoxian

Dr. Kortoxian is a wandering physician who travels to different areas of Sapience, often lurking in the public squares or crossroads of major cities and villages. He reaches many different locations in a day, and some say there is a pattern to his travels. Gifted with a knowledge of science and the shamanic arts of Vodun and Curses, he is also notorious for manufacturing and selling a synthetic form of gleam, as well as for founding Creville Asylum, the once-premier institute for brain research and sanatorium for the mentally infirm.

Kortoxian's Wares

Packet of gleam - 1100gp

Dully shining with an odd yellow glow, this powdery substance is none other than gleam. The stuff is fine and smooth, not sticky, with only slight variations in consistency and colouration. The smell is mildly citrus in nature, with somewhat sharper overtones.

a Lucid Lemon Sweet - 400gp

Strong citrus scents arise from this unusual confection, a promise of lemony sweetness accentuated by the bright yellow shade it commands. Boiled to an incredible strength, the sweet's glass-like surface allows a glimpse of its sherbet centre, the powdery substance waiting to be unleashed. Diamond in shape, the outer edges are coarse in contrast to the remainder's smoothness, a rustling wrapper keeping sticky fingers at bay.
