Sapphire Orchid Incense

Ritual IncenseBurning In Couturier

A distinctive incense used inside the Mercanaud Couturier and recognised by Teor from a nine-pointed battlefield ritual mark.

Identity, appearance, and origin

Overview

Introduction

The Mercanaud Couturier is saturated with an incense that Rulius identifies as sapphire orchid. Teor recognises the scent from a nine-pointed star burned onto a battlefield. Exposure leaves him physically altered and under the poisoned condition while the Mercanauds prepare a ritual to cut his shadow apart.

Appearance

Incense smoke hanging throughout the richly furnished fitting rooms of the Mercanaud Couturier.

Origin

Unknown. Rulius names the incense but gives no account of where it comes from.
