The word "pesh" refers both to the bulbous, vibrant green cacti that flourish in the Katapeshi deserts and to the narcotic distilled from their milk. Nearly every settlement in Katapesh has a pesh field while the poorest farmers may own only two or three cacti in their yard. Pesh is Katapesh's main export and it can be found for sale in places as far away as Absalom, Cheliax, or Varisia. In Avistan, the area around Darkmoon Vale is the second biggest supplier next to Katapesh. The drug exists in many forms.
