Re: Athelas

Nope; it was real.
It can be traced back to the attempt at reducing poaching in the Middle ages that allowed Deer and other wild animals to cause Kinsgfoil to become extinct as they found the herb a delicacy.

With the loss of Kingsfoil, we now have diseases without cure.

Conservationalists, Environmentalists, and Animal Rights Activists have been finger pointing ever since.
