Flora and Foraging
Laella

These guides will help you find your way when it comes to foraging up some things. Currently, these guides are only based on what is found in the town of Wehnimer's Landing. They are currently incomplete, but I have been steadily working at this task. While yet to be finished, I myself find them extremely useful. Or at least one of them is. Enjoy! And don't forage alone.

Acantha Leaf (10 hp)
Acantha is one of several herbs in a group which will heal mild concussion damage when eaten (the leaves are the most beneficial). It can be found in a wide range of climates -- from near desert conditions to moist ocean beaches.

-*Can be found: All over the place.*-


Aloeas Stem (head/neck majors)
The Aloeas tree, although rare, is famed for its amazing ability to heal serious and critical head and neck wounds. This is a small tree which tends to grow in colder, wet areas, such as along riverbanks. The medicinal properties are best found in the stems of its leaves.

-*Can be found: around the sturdy bridge outside of town, and in the graveyard: in the Slither Creek.*-
-two bites


Ambrominas Leaf (limb minors)
Ambrominas bushes have leaves which are known to speed the healing of minor limb wounds. Foragers may identify this common bush by its dark green oval leaves, and are behooved to search for it in grasslands and hilly areas.

-*Can be found: Lower Dragonsclaw Grasslands, Wehnimer's Exterior.*-
-four bites


Basal Moss (eye minors)
Basal moss is not uncommon, but an important component of a empath's herb inventory. Growing primarily in temperate climates, on the bark of deciduous trees, this moss will provide immediate healing of minor internal and external organ damage.

-*Can be found: various spots of the Upper Trollfang.*-
-four bites


Calamia Fruit (major limb scarring)
Calamia fruit, famed for its ability to repair serious limb scars, tends to grow in very warm, moist climates. This large fruit may be identified easily by its light red, almost pink color. Most efficacious in its dried form, the fresh fruit can also provide some benefit.

-*Can be found: in the graveyard: outside the Bog, between the squishy path and the Natural Dam, and to the south of the bog, towards the Creek Bank but not near it.*-
-two bites


Cothinar Flower (? hp)
Cothinar flowers are usually found in colder barren areas as they thrive in the winter and do not like having competition for their nutrients. Not as easily found as Acantha, they are still eagerly sought since they are quite a bit more potent in healing concussion damage.

-*Can be found: In the briar patch on the way to the kobold village*-
-one bite
-not able to be bundled


Cactacae Spine (minor limb scarring)
Cactacae cactus grows in desert-like conditions, and should be sought for its sharp spines. These long brown thorns, when harvested carefully and then chewed, can heal minor scarring and defects on limbs.

-*Can be found: still looking in the Landing. Ocotillo Zoo in Solhaven.*-
-four bites


Cuctucae Berries (10 hp, no rt)
Cuctucae berries are able to heal concussion damage, much as the leaves of the Acantha tree, but are somewhat less potent. The bushes can be found growing wild in higher elevations, and seem to thrive in cooler climates.

-*Can be found: Upper Trollfang Sentoph.*-
-one bite


Ephlox Moss (limb majors)
Ephlox moss, a rare fungus with potent healing abilities when used on serious and critical limb wounds, does best in a cold wet environment with ample sunlight to grow. It should be sought along stream banks or growing on tree bark.

-*Can be found: Lower Dragonsclaw, around the entrance to the Upper Trollfang and Hobland.*-
-four bites


Strigae Cactus (? hp)
The flesh of the Strigae cactus is beneficial in helping to recover from mild concussion damage, however extreme caution must be exercised while harvesting this plant, lest the damage incurred while gathering it outweigh any possible benefit. The small cacti grow abundantly in desert conditions.



Haphip Root (minor head/neck scarring)
The Haphip tree, which typically grows in hot, humid conditions and requires large amounts of moisture, should be sought for a small portion of its root system, which can heal and remove scar tissue around the face, head and neck. Be careful to only harvest a small amount of the root, lest the rare tree be killed.



Marallis Berries (10 hp, no rt)
The Marallis plant produces berries which can help one recover from light concussion damage. The plants are most commonly found in colder hills and mountains.

-*Can be found: Upper Trollfang Sentoph.*-
-one bite


Pothinir Grass (eye/torso majors)
Pothinir grass, a must for any emergency kit, is indispensable for its ability to heal serious internal and external injuries to the eyes and torso, and perhaps just as well known for its terrible taste. Although extremely difficult to find, it is however well worth the effort. The best places to look for it are hot, humid areas which get large amounts of sunlight.

-*Can be found: in the Voln courtyard, and the Burial Pits in the Wormwood Slough.*-
-two bites


Sovyn Clove (lost limbs)
The small dried flowers (also known as cloves) of the Sovyn bush have the miraculous ability to cause the regeneration of an entire limb! These flowers need to have been dried by the sun in order to have their restorative powers; therefore, the time at which this herb is picked is crucial.

-*Can be found: Lower Dragonsclaw Grasslands.*-
-one bite


Spearmint (bad breath)
The leaves of the Spearmint plant, though occasionally bitter, provide benefit to your socialization skills when consumed. Spearmint is fairly common in temperate grassy fields, and occasionally grows wild near cultivated areas.

-*Can be found: the small park.*-
-two bites


Torban Leaf (minor nervous scars)
The leaves of the Torban tree have been proven an effective treatment for certain minor nervous system scars and defects such as slurred speech. Found only in mild climates, the tree is not difficult to find, but special care must be exercised to harvest the leaves in the proper stage of growth, as they are otherwise useless except for tea-making.

-*Can be found: Upper Trollfang, on the way to Danjirland.*-
-three bites


Wolifrew Lichen (nervous minors)
Wolifrew lichen, a fungus known for its ability to cure minor nervous system disorders, grows in cold, dark areas. While sometimes this includes secluded outdoor areas, the lichen is much more likely to be found inside a cold, wet cave. Its yellow-brown color makes it distinguishable from other fungi.

-*Can be found: Upper Trollfang, in a cave on the way to the Kobold Mine.*-
-four bites


Yabathilium Fruit (10-40 hp)
Yabathilium, an uncommon tree which grows on beaches and saltwater coastlines, produces a small greenish fruit which, though extremely bitter, has amazing concussion restoration powers.

-*Can be found: can be found on the beaches through the gate that's east of the North Gate.*-
-one bite


Woth Flower (nervous majors)
Woth, an exceedingly rare and beautiful flower which heals serious nervous system scars when eaten, grows most often in hot, humid, dark climates, such as a rain forest. These flowers, when in full bloom, have a blue throat surrounded by ruffled violet petals.


Aster (golden)
A plants bearing radiate flower heads with golden rays and a yellow center disk. Other varieties include blossoms in shades of white, pink, or violet with yellow disks.

Cattails
Cattails are probably the most familiar of all wetland plants. Their swaying brown flower clusters can be seen at the edges of ponds, rivers, lakes, or just about any place where there is shallow, standing water for at least part of the year. The common cattail can grow up to nine feet in height. Probably the most distinctive thing about the cattails are their flowers, as each possesses thousands of tiny brown flowers all tightly compressed into a compact mass on the top of their stems. During late summer and early autumn, these structures will begin to come apart, releasing their seeds into the wind as they do so.

-*Can be found across the sturdy bridge.*-


Chicory
A perennial herb, chicory has rayed flower heads with usually blue florets. Often, the root is ground and used for a coffee substitute, or as an adulterant. The leaves of the chicory plant can be used in salads and soups, despite the fact that it imparts a slight bitterness.
