- There is only one known golden lotus plant. It grows in the Dreamlands, and is of substantial size. It is guarded by three gold dragons named Malherbe, Hillage and Gong, who never leave it. They permit certain humans (and one gnome) to harvest the plant, and receive substantial tribute in return. The motley collection of individuals whom the gold dragons favour call themselves the "Dreamgifters", though of course the doses they peddle among the wealthy and degenerate are not gifts, and the price tends to rise substantially once they think addiction has set in. +

 **EFFECT**: The exact method of producing Goranmot is known only to certain trollish shamans but it is understood to involve allowing a giant leech to feed on human captives and then reducing the leech to a paste, admixing it with certain swamp-grown plants and anointing it onto a sacred rock. The trolls then caper around the rock making demented hooting noises, working themselves up into a religious frenzy. For a few hours thereafter, each troll's severed body parts may (50%) regrow in a mutated or multiple fashion, leading to trolls with additional limbs, prehensile tails, extra heads, or even (occasionally) gills, flippers or wings. **EFFECT**: The exact method of producing Goranmot is known only to certain trollish shamans but it is understood to involve allowing a giant leech to feed on human captives and then reducing the leech to a paste, admixing it with certain swamp-grown plants and anointing it onto a sacred rock.
