Gaun thistle is a substance that appears once in the series, in a single commercial scene in ''House of Open Wounds''. It is held in a crate by [[Banders|Former Cohort-Broker Banders]], who intends to sell the quantity to a [[Fellow-Monitor]]. No physical description, no practical function, and no origin are recorded anywhere in the text; the object exists in the narrative purely as a line-item in Banders's trading dealings, a piece of stock he is trying to move to a Monitor buyer - ch 10.

Because it surfaces in exactly one scene and receives no further mention, gaun thistle carries no plot significance. Its value to the reader is atmospheric rather than structural: it names a commodity in Banders's inventory and thereby reinforces the texture of his post-Monitor brokerage, a man still dealing in goods to functionaries of the Watch regardless of what those goods actually are or do. Nothing in the book clarifies whether the substance is a narcotic, a craft material, a foodstuff, or something else entirely - ch 10.

== The Object ==
=== Description ===
The text identifies gaun thistle only as a "substance" stored in a crate. No material composition, colour, odour, quantity, or packaging detail beyond the crate itself is given - ch 10.

=== What It Does ===
No function, method of use, cost of use, or limitation is described in the text. Its intended purpose is left entirely unstated - ch 10.

=== Provenance ===
The only holder named is [[Banders|Former Cohort-Broker Banders]], who keeps the quantity in a crate. No maker, prior owner, or final destination is identified; the crate and its prospective buyer are the totality of what the chapter establishes - ch 10.

== History ==
=== House of Open Wounds ===
Gaun thistle appears in [[House of Open Wounds]] only in a commercial context. In Chapter 10, [[Banders|Former Cohort-Broker Banders]] is shown to keep a quantity of the substance in a crate, and his stated intention is to sell it to a [[Fellow-Monitor]]. The notes give no further detail on the substance's properties, origin, or intended purpose; the crate and the prospective buyer are the only facts established for this book - ch 10.

== Relationships ==
- '''[[Banders|Former Cohort-Broker Banders]]''' - the only person shown in possession of gaun thistle, who keeps it in a crate and expresses the intention to sell it. The substance functions in the scene solely as an item in his brokerage stock, consistent with his role as a former Cohort-Broker still dealing with Watch functionaries - ch 10.
