Description
Spoilers for Descent
Its name combines "athelas", a magical leaf from a fantasy book, and "agave", an equally useful plant of Earth. Athale fibre makes Nikau's new piupiu, Claire's green bandana, Aditi's tunic and the tunic Claire makes for Kurt. Athale liquor is sweet, viscous, caramel-tasting and very strong, and hard to come by.
