Fey Pearls are the common name of Adun Fei, a potent toxin harvested in the Shadowfel. It takes the appearance of a gummy purple resin that clings to the skin and reacts aggressively with open wounds. It has no known beneficial properties and requires special inorganic gloves to handle it and special knives to deliver it as a poison. File Knives have a pattern of holes through them to hold the Fey Pearls. Because the holes weaken the weapon, they are made from extremely hard steel similar to the steel used to make files and often they still have file teeth cut into them. The brittle steel means that any fumble with the weapon also shatters the blade.
When used, the resin rapidly enters the bloodstream, catching fire in the process as it rushes toward the heart. The pain is excruciating and smoke frequently billows out of the mouth, nose, ear, and eyeholes. Survival is rare but survivors can be identified by the melted eyeballs.
