Worldwide graveyard... very Bakker... Touche, Curethan.
I would find that very, very dull to be quite honest.

I always thought that Chanv was a Consult invention, it is much like the womb plague in that that it extends life but decreases the fertility of the users. There is some mention of the drop in children of the Ainoni higher castes because they use this stuff. The Inchoroi traveled to the east to deliver the Tusk in ancient times, and I figure their agents east of the Kayursus deliver Chanv to the peoples their, and those people have commercial contacts with their cousins in Jekhia. It seems very Inchoroi in that it extends life and sharpens the intellect in exchange for fertility, in essence sacrificing the future of the user for the present. An end around for the ruling classes who would lead humanity against them in any conflict.
My personal opinion is that chanv also is made from dead Nonmen. There might be a few in the Gates or some other Mansion we don't know the location of (Nihrimsul?) that the Jekhians have access to.For example it could be diluted, boiled generic Nonman instead of properly fried heroic Nonmen.
Nonman with a dash of Sranc (to taste), the real breakfast of champions.
Quote from: Cu'jara Cinmoi, 2005The ultimate source of chanv, at present, is entirely unknown. According to the word on the street in Carythusal, it's either cultivated by Jekki tribesmen on the slopes of the Kayarsus, or simply obtained by them from Xiuhianni traders from Eanna, or it's the product of the guano belonging to a mythical species talking bats.Not surprisingly, popular opinion favours the latter explanation.

lol, mythical species of talking bats immediately makes me think inchies... was it supposed to?
I would have thought if the consult made chanv, they would have manipulated Ioyokus (okay, not good at the spelling)/the scarlet spires master of spies) to councel the scarlet spires leader against supporting the holy war.I think maybe someones got a nonman chained and on tap. They drain off some blood, then apply a tear of god to it. Chanv!Okay, lol, that's kind of intuitive alchemy going on there, but hey...

To be fair, the Inchoroi are described as having translucent skin as are Chanv users. There have been plenty of hypotheses over the years about the Inchoroi/Consult being responsible for Chanv as Eanna is a wildcard that remains firmly under the Inchoroi thumb, in my opinion.+1 Conditioned. I think most of us thought of the Inchoroi.I've always thought the Inchoroi were responsible for Chanv since the skin comparison. Why wouldn't Inchoroi have nootropics which augment for certain cognitive functions?
hah, somewhere in Eanna men have enslaved an inchoroi and harvest their poo to sell to the three seas as an exotic drug.Eat shit, men.
Quirri raises the intellect as well. It also gives night vision (because that's useful in dungeon deliving ) Were not told if Ioyokus can also see well in the dark.
I venture to say he doesnt....
unless he sees well in the ultimate darkness of blindnesslike Cishaurim.
