Fenweed is a poisonous plant that grows in the Forests of Hell on Threnody.[1]
The primary property of fenweed is to induce extreme headaches, drowsiness, dizziness, sleepiness, and a cloudy-head.[1] Fenweed has a very light taste, so it can easily be masked by the flavor of food or beer.
Fenweed has to be mixed into a paste to be used.[1] A full dose of fenweed in a man's meal or drink is enough to put him straight to sleep. A half dose will leave him mostly unaffected for a while, but after a time he will fall asleep, although not so deeply that he could not be roused.
The name of fenweed implies that it can be found in swamps (A "fen" is a marsh or wetland).
Silence Montane has her daughter, William Ann, give Chesterton Divide and the four men of his gang a half dose of fenweed in their beer, so that she can later kill them in their sleep.[1]
