Ironbush plants are squat grey bushes found growing across the Threshold, most commonly in the deciduous river meadows of the [[:Category:The Northeast|northeast]]. The bushes cause intense pain to any [[Fair Folk]] that touches them, and an irritating itching sensation when in close proximity.

If a Fair Folk touches an Ironbush (including with a tool, of gossamer or otherwise),
treat as if they had made a punch attack against themselves, with the punch formed
of pure iron. Within 20 miles of a bush, the irritation
is only slight, within 1 mile it inflicts a -1 internal penalty on all of the Fair Folk’s rolls.
A Fair Folk will never willingly touch an Ironbush.

During the spring and summer months, Ironbushes sprout small buds, grey-green with a metallic sheen. These buds can be brewed into a tea with a distinctly iron-tinged taste that, when consumed causes the drinker to cease experiencing dreams for a time. Should a Fae consume the tea, the effect is far more severe.

When drunk by a mortal, Ironbush Tea causes them to experience no dreams
(including daydreams, fantasies, and drug-induced hallucinations) for five hours.
When consumed by a Fair Folk, Ironbush Tea causes 10L damage, to which only
natural soak (always excluding all armour) can be applied.

Ironbush is not truly natural, designed during the First Age as a weapon against the Raksha and planted along Creation’s ever-expanding borders. The secrets of its creation and cultivation are lost in the Age of Sorrows, though some have managed to propagate the bushes and care for them, with perhaps a third of planted buds able to grow completely… the [[Linowan]] are most skilled at such a task, and have planted Ironbushes all along their border with [[Halta]] to defend against Fae raiders. They are less common within the furthest reaches of Northeastern forests as the acidic soils of conifer woods do not seem a hospitable environment for the plant.
