YMMV / The Black God's Drums

• Genius Bonus: The fictional compound "drapeto gas" is used to render captives controllable through suggestion and dull their ability to resist. Its name is a reference to "drapetomania", a proposed mental illness that supposedly affected slaves, causing them to run away. The pseudoscientific theory of drapetomania was widespread in the confederate States of America in the 19th century.
