|flora1desc = The Black Orchid is a flower that has long been a part of the island nation of [[Kilarallis]]. It was originally discovered by the [[Elven Empire]], who found the plant distasteful and so spread the negative opinion on to their slaves. After the [[Cataclysm]] however, it became a popular dye ingredient on the island which soon spread offland to the [[Regalian Empire]] due to the rich and dark purples the flower could produce. Kilarallis now guards this source of income zealously, sending agents and spies out after those who steal the plant or who cultivate stolen seeds or specimens. Despite this dark practice, the Black Orchid remains a positive symbol of Kilarallis. | |flora1desc = The Black Orchid is a flower that has long been a part of the island nation of [[Kilarallis]].

|flora3 = [[ | |flora3 = [[Chrysant Flower]] | ||
|flora3desc = | |flora3desc = The beautiful Chrysant Flower was once one of the most populous flowers of Hadar. The plant commonly grew in southern Hadar and appeared as an important part of [[Nessrassian]] festivals and Allar traditions across the island groups. By the time the [[Chrysant War]] had come to an end however, the flower was transformed into a symbol of victory for the [[Regalian Empire]] and a painful reminder of the past for the Allar and Slizzar. To this day, the Regalian Empire proudly uses the flower as a constant reminder of their victory, despite the fact that the Regalians nearly drove the flower to extinction following the war. | ||
|flora4 = [[ | |flora4 = [[Dragonflower]] | ||
|flora4desc = | |flora4desc = A staple in [[Farah’deen]] and [[Human_Cultures#Daendroque|Daendroqean]] cooking, the Dragonflower has wormed its way to fame both for its practical use in the common kitchen, and its stunning appearance.

|flora7 = [[ | |flora7 = [[Fly Orchid]] | ||
|flora7desc = | |flora7desc = A delicate and rather unassuming plant, the Fly Orchid was once a common, ordinary piece of flora. When the Cataclysm came, it was granted a strange new ability.

|flora8desc | |flora8desc = ''Description Pending...'' | ||
|flora9 | |flora9 = [[Lady’s Shine]] | ||
|flora9desc | |flora9desc = Known throughout [[Aloria]] as a miracle herb, the most prominent feature of Lady’s Shine is its ability to counteract most toxins barring the more potent like [[Nightshade]] or [[Jīnyú dú]] which have cures far more specialized. Lady’s Shine is a flower of great renown to the [[Altalar]] as it is a cultural symbol, that of their heritage and lost empire. To the [[Cielothar]], they revere Lady’s Shine as a spiritual flower given to them by Ceá’llë-maenë. | ||
|flora10 | |flora10 = [[Lorwick Thistle]] | ||
|flora10desc | |flora10desc = Lorwick Thistles are an invasive species of weed found in eastern [[Daendroc]] and the island of [[Kilarallis]]. They are a particularly large and fast-growing breed of thistle that can be used as a defensive hedge with proper maintenance, but can also become problematic as they have a tendency to grow rapidly and engulf the land around them if left unchecked, pushing out other native species. Lorwick Thistles have vibrant flowers that, along with the rest of their menacing appearance, have earned them some interesting nicknames. | ||
|flora11 = [[ | |flora11 = [[Nightshade]] | ||
|flora11desc = | |flora11desc = Nearly every assassin and aristocrat has heard of the deadly plant known as Nightshade. Even fewer still know that the plant originated out of [[Farah’deen]]. Originally kept as a houseplant for the Sultan’s palace, Nightshade has developed and adapted to more temperate environments, and is commonly seen growing in the wild, though it will not grow in freezing temperatures. | ||

|flora17 = [[ | |flora17 = [[Stonepetal]] | ||
|flora17desc = | |flora17desc = Stonepetal flowers are a staple of [[Hyarroc|Hyarroc’s]] Stone Forest, and are indispensable to any traveler who wishes to survive within it. First spotted in the aftermath of the [[Cataclysm]], the shrub has grown all over Llíü’raëth’s rocky floor since. A succulent-petaled flower that glows with an obscure light, the Stonepetal is a strange and mysterious plant. Upon consumption it affects the consumer by imparting the ability to see through the ever-present fog in the Stone Forest. The only drawbacks are the long-term hallucinations that plague whomever consumes the plant, and the [[Kathar#Disciples_of_Wolond|Wolond Kathar]] that so jealously guard it. | ||

They are known for their expressive shapes, and have bending trunks and twisting branches. | |flora8desc = The Laoyan Tree, literally translating to "Old Man" Tree, is an expressive willow tree found in the [[Yang-Tzu Isles]].

|flora10desc | |flora10desc = The Royal Oak is a very common and widespread tree found throughout the temperate regions of [[Aloria]].

Even today, Royal Oaks are used to craft and construct nearly every wooden object, from toys to buildings to ships. | ||

|flora3desc = | |flora3desc = With long, slimy tendrils that can reach up to a hundred feet in length, Corpse Weed is most commonly found in colonies in the coastal waters of [[Daendroc]].

Corpse Weed is most commonly consumed by [[Maiar]] as they are the only race that can ingest the plant raw. | ||
|flora4 = [[ | |flora4 = [[Empairina]] | ||
|flora4desc = | |flora4desc = Empairina, native to [[Drowda]], is a fern used both for nourishment and dim lighting.

|flora5 = [[Evokai Oats]] | |flora5 = [[Evokai Oats]] | ||
|flora5desc = Evokai Oats are a recently discovered species of cereal grain that originates from [[Evokai]]. It has been the staple grain of the region for years, serving as a food for wild animals that roam the islands as well as the inhabitants themselves. Originally it was believed to be a purple grass species, though upon closer inspection the plant was discovered to have seeds that were tasty and good for grinding into meal. The crop, first grown by the researchers that stayed in Murlóch Harbor, was quickly traded from there as an oddity due to the grain’s pale purpureus color. Since its introduction to the world, Evokai Oats have been quickly picked up by farmers in more temperate regions, both for its health benefits and appeal for children who love the bright color. | |flora5desc = Evokai Oats are a recently discovered species of cereal grain that originates from [[Evokai]].
