Hurtloam is a thick brown mud with healing properties. It shines as though tiny shards of gold dwell inside it. It feels cool and soothing to the touch, absorbing pain. After it dries the shininess disappears as its healing properties are all used up. Any major type of hurt or injury causes sleepiness in the wounded in order to quicken the healing process.
Lena learnt how to recognise Hurtloam from her father Trell.
