Tears of Lys
The tears of Lys is a rare and expensive poison, made by the alchemists of Lys.[1][2] It is clear, sweet as water, and leaves no trace.[1] When dissolved into liquids and drunk, the poison eats away the bowels and belly of the victim, and appears to be a sickness of those parts.[3] It is unknown if the poison has a connection with the Weeping Lady of Lys.
