Bluereed is—as its name implies— a tall, thin reed with a slight blue tinge. It is well known among the Rohirrim, who use it to sustain their scouts and messengers. Location: Banks of the Entwash. Find TN: 9 Prepare TN: 10 Fresh Term: 2 days Prepared Term: 3 months Effect : Valued by messengers, scouts, and others who must toil for hours at a time without rest, bluereed banishes sleepiness and allows those who take it to go a day without sleep. While this herb has no effect on a patient who is already exhausted, if taken as a preventive measure it staves off the need for sleep. For 24 hours after consuming a properly prepared dose of this herb, a character does not need sleep and suffers no penalties for going without it. After 24 hours have passed, though, fatigue’s toll returns and tests to resist weariness from lack of sleep are made as normal (see page 249–50 of the core rulebook) counting the full numbers of hours awake. Bluereed has no noticeable effect on Elves.
