A gnarled, dark brown root found in rocky hillsides, known for its intensely bitter taste and stamina-boosting properties. A single root (enough for one tonic) costs 1 gp and weighs 2 oz.
Recipe
Locate bitterroot plants in dry, rocky soil, identified by their small, purple flowers.
Dig carefully around the base to extract the root whole, avoiding breakage.
Rinse off dirt and dry in the sun for 2 days to preserve its potency.
