Poison

[mark_asphodel]

So, while contemplating my rhubarb crop (all one plant of it) this afternoon, something occurred to me-- where are the herbal-based poison plots in FE fandom?  Hell, I remember a damned good Gundam Wing 'fic that hinged on tainted rhubarb jam.  Harry Potter was littered with such, though of course the plants in question were a little more fanciful.  But I can't even remember coming across a bad batch of mushrooms in a Fire Emblem story.  Can't recall anyone accidentally ingesting rhubarb leaves, or confusing wild carrots with hemlock, or decorating a wedding cake with lily-of-the-valley and white oleander.

There is a void here that needs to be filled.  Discuss?

Something about this is really familiar, but I can't quite place it...

I'd be interested in this, though. Especially considering the kind of situations that would require foraging in FE.

Mm. Do let me know if you place it.
