Foodstuff is a day’s worth of raw food for cooking over fire in a pot. The price depends on the relative rarity of ingredients.

Horse’s may be bled for hydration in case of lacking water supplies. This may be done once every other day.

Flora and Medicine

May be bought from an apothecary or Witch for varying prices, availability subject to seasons and geography. These are foraged in the wilderness and crafted with time.

Ephedra Tincture is able to rouse a man from unconsciousness or end paralysis.

Aglofotis is able to be rubbed into a wound to counter act the effects of venom or purify imbibed poison.

Monkshood is a possibly sub-lethal poison which if swallowed cools the flesh, slows the pulse and breathing to near imperceptible levels allowing the imbiber to mimic being death. Frail men risk death upon imbibing it.

Nightshade is a poison potent enough to kill a horse if swallowed or kill a man when smeared on a weapon or arrowhead.
