Legend
“The heroic tale of Kezeg Vonril and the miraculous boiled berries has become a beacon of hope and healing. On that fateful day, when Kezeg found himself sprawled on the ground, his life hanging by a thread due to a poisonous dagger wound, he was saved by the very berries he chanced upon.”
History
Xondis Kezeg’s life-changing encounter with Barberries occurred amidst excruciating pain from a poisonous wound that was ravaging his body and organs. In a desperate attempt to survive, he managed to collect nearby barberries and drop them into his kettle. After a brief boil, he took a sip, and momentarily, he lost consciousness. The following day, he awoke, slightly improved from the previous day. Determined to overcome the life-threatening ailment, he continued to boil the barberries and consumed the potion, leading to another brief fainting episode. Yet, his unwavering perseverance eventually led to his triumphant recovery, and the legacy of Barberries was forever etched in history.

Special
As with any remedy, barberries may not prove effective for every patient. If administered without producing any discernible improvement within two weeks, it may indicate that the herb cannot alleviate the specific condition of the patient.
