Joozoon Powder: Made from, among other things, the spittle of ancient red dragons and the earwax of a living hell hound, joozoon powder is a primary ingredient in many high lever spells. As one might imagine, it is a rare and very expensive ingredient. The finest joozoon powder comes from the Gorv Mountains, where there are many deadly creatures and an opening to Hell. As much as a pound of joozoon powder is created every year.

The Alphabet: K Is For…
Kangaroo People: After the Merge Virus got loose on Earth 44 and caused the DNA migration from species to species, many new sentient lifeforms appeared as pure humans died off. In Australia, the main sentient species became the Kangaroo People.
Resembling some strange human/kangaroo centaur, these creatures are generally peaceful nomads. Unlike normal kangaroos, they carry their young to a more mature state, then place them in their pouch for another 6 to 8 months. After they leave the pouch, the young are raised much like human children. They mature to adults in about 5 years.
Kangaroo People are omnivores, but mostly eat vegetation. They do hunt and enjoy eating meat whenever they can. They use fire, build temporary shelters and will plant edible plants that need little care. They return to these scattered gardens later in the year and harvest from them.
The Australian Aborigines get along very well with the Kangaroo People and often trade with them.
