Seithr Oil
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Seithr Oil is a fictional substance in Christopher Paolini's Inheritance trilogy. As described in Eragon, it is taken from the petals of the Seithr plant, which grows "on a small island in the frigid northern seas." (Eragon, Pg. 166). The oil is mainly used for preserving pearls, but when a certain incantation is spoken over it, along with the offering of a blood sacrifice, it becomes a deadly, caustic poison. It eats away flesh, but leaves everything else with which it comes in contact untouched. Because of this, it has been frequently used by assassins. In its incorrupt state, Seithr Oil is a tool of jewellers, but only of the richest mercantiles. Cities along the coast of Alagaesia keep records of its transmission, and tabs on the records. In [[Eragon]] Sethir oil, purchased by the Empire, is used by the Ra'zac to murder Garrow
