Kolchie

A reed from the Shar, or the drug made from it. Burnt in frenzied public a'Shari funerals and smoked as a liquid, by users looking for more energy and focus. Also called Liquid Coal, Coal, Key, Black key, and other names.

Kolchie is outlawed in may Utlandi countries, especially in Astara, where it is prosecuted rigorously. It is enjoyed more openly in the new world. In d'Rochas it is a common site to see "key" users in the streets, focusing intently on some small object.
