In the ancient sands of the Nethlok desert, lies the ruins of a long-lost civilization. There are few things left of its’ people., save a few dusty tomes, scrolls, and perhaps a trinket or two. But the most famous is the Nethlok scorpion.
 
Bred by the Netholese, to be highly aggressive and territorial.  They average three feet in length from claw to the tip of the tail. The Netholese used these scorpions to guard their treasures, the dead, and to torture their enemies.
 
Due to the scorpions’ aggressive nature, we use hide-covered cauldrons and place them in areas that they will want to defend. As they attack the cauldron, it fills with their venom, and once full it alerts us with a simple cantrip. Thus, providing ample opportunity for my apprentices to collect the cauldrons and bring them to you. Corked and sealed in a vial, to preserve its potency. Sufficient for all magical potions, magical studies, and spell components.
