[What Came Before]

Increases brainpower and lifespan, makes the skin super pale by draining the body of all pigment.

Also addictive, possibly made with Qirri?

Probably not.

[What Came Before]

Also possibly made from;
- salted sorcerer
- sranc
- bananas
- synthese jizz
- Walter White's transdimensional drug stil

[What Came Before]

Salted sorcerer could be right.

Dead sorcerers might be the tasty stimulant to beef up whoever's going to fight the No-God. Give him a Kellhus steak with a side of Seswatha's heart.

[What Came Before]

The poison that makes strong.

I'd agree with all the speculated possibilities presented being at least possible.

In addition to the about:
What about the ashes of semi-sentient trees with souls?

[What Came Before]

wasn't there a 'joke' in series about Chanv being the guano of giant bats (aka inchoroi)?  be pretty funny if it was inchoroi poop.

[What Came Before]

I want to say that sounds familiar, but I can't honestly remember. I could just be that my brain just wants to believe and is making me think I vaguely recall the reference.

[What Came Before]

I think that's a joke from our forum musings, lockesnow .

I'm still of the thought process that Chanv is a nootropic invented by the Inchoroi that they've adapted to their human Xiuhanni population.

Qirri is the ashes of dead Nonman Heroes - though, we're not sure if this practice extends to before the Womb Plague, therefore I'm not sure of the implicate consequences we can attribute to eating Sranc.

[What Came Before]

If the entire Ordeal becomes pale as ghosts with red eyes by the time they reach Dagliash then we'll know what chanv is

[What Came Before]

chanv is inchoroi sticky icky. earwa is probably a galactic grow-op that everyone but earwans know about.
