Aloria is rich in both fauna and flora. This page specifically is dedicated to all recorded, extinct or still living, plants that grow in the world of Aloria. All plants are split into their relevant categories. Keep in mind that this list is not final and will be added to when necessary.

Flowers

Flowers

Black Orchid	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.

Cérá-ac’íon Flower	Cérá-ac’íon Flowers are rare, if not mythical, flowers said to be able to cure Vampirism simply by orally ingesting it. Unfortunately, this flower exclusively grows in the ruins of the Altalar city of Antíël’ígӧ, which is straddled by both the Wolond Walds and the Stone Forest, deadly regions of Teled Methen. It has been years since any have found and tested the supposed major use of the flower, and so it remains largely a myth among the scholars and botanists of the world, even if many Altalar and Yanar still believe in its existence.

Chrysant Flower	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.

Dragonflower	A staple in Farah’deen and Daendroqean cooking, the Dragonflower has wormed its way to fame both for its practical use in the common kitchen, and its stunning appearance. What started as a mere oasis flower has become an iconic spice among many, along as a beloved prize-garden gem.

Dormdir Bulb	A plant native to Essalonia with a dense bulb of purple or purple-blue petals, Dormdir Bulb went undiscovered to wider Aloria for centuries. Only recently has it been discovered, and now grows in popularity as a symbol of the continent. It is only valued for its decorative nature, due to its lack of a strong scent or taste to give it other uses.

Fireweed	Fireweed is the name for a fiery plant that originated on the Daendroc supercontinent which has since been transplanted to regions of New Ceardia and Farah’deen. Useful as an antiseptic once distilled, it has been known in the driest points of the year to burst into flames and further spread its seeds out across the area.

Fly Orchid	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. Found out in fields, Ithanian vineyards, and farms across the continent, it releases sweet scents to attract insects to it’s center and away from other plants. It can also be used to create a useful bug poison is broken down.

Friblomst	The Friblomst survives and thrives in cold forests across The North Belt and other northern regions of Aloria. Due to the long war between the Kingdom of Nordskag and Hvitskag Horde, it has become a symbol of Velheim independence, though many others see its ability to survive despite the harsh cold as significant. It frequently serves as a decorative feature in the homes of those affluent in the north, but also at regional weddings.

Lady’s Shine	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.

Lorwick Thistle	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.

Nightshade	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.

Poppy	The Poppy is an old flower tied back to Daen history and the Allorn Empire. Poppies are believed to have been discovered by explorers of the Allorn Empire in Daen, centuries before the events of the Cataclysm took place. The plant was then discovered to be processable into an effective stress and pain relieving drug known as Opium. It came to be used by many cultures, most notably those under the sway of the Regalian Empire, who were introduced to it by the Daendroque descendants of some of the slaves who originally cared for the plant. The plant is also notable for being the product which helped put House Anahera on the map.

Daisy	The Daisy is the most common flower in Aloria, existing on almost every continent, and has likely existed for as long as life has flourished in this world. There are several varieties, with several different color schemes and minor physical differences, but all can ultimately be called Daisies. Their sole purpose in Aloria today is for decoration, as they rarely taste good in food and their ancient medicinal uses have since been superseded by vastly superior flora and modern techniques.

Ruby Flower	The Ruby Flower is a common sight to both Nelfin and Humans. It is the most elementary herb used in the healing arts, capable of alleviating a wide variety of illnesses. The flower is a type of marigold with a deep red color, said to be blessed by the Altalar deity Orelaben. Today, the flower is heavily cultivated and used by all healers.

Song Flower	Song Flowers are crystalline musical plants native to the thick forests and mineral-rich mountains of Fendarfelle. Also known as Twilight Flowers, they emit a pleasant ringing tone twice a day during dawn and dusk. As a natural curiosity, they have been imported and cultivated as ornamental plants in gardens all over the world.

Torsian Rose	The Torsian Rose is native to Essalonia and was once confined only to the nation of Torse, leading to its name. This pale pink-colored flower grows from shrubs, which also produce red hips that have several uses. The plant is also considered to be a physical representation of good Soldi by the Kingdom of Torse and has long been a symbol for their people of their justness in the face of constant warfare with Arlora. But that foe is now long dead and so their beliefs are now more general in what the plant represents.

Water Lily	Often included in water decoration, the Water Lily is a fast growing aquatic plant that is found throughout Aloria’s still waters. Though pretty, the Water Lily is classified as an invasive species in many areas due to its ability to cover the surface of entire bodies of water. In truth, the plant originated in the Daen continent, though the flower was artificially spread as people began planting it as decoration, often unaware of its hardiness and viciously fast growth. Today, the Water Lily is seen in most developed parts of Aloria, carefully tended as seemingly delicate decoration.

Axford Maiden	Sitting among flower beds all over the Regalian Empire can be found the Axford Maiden, a petite tulip most commonly heralded by the ladies of nobility, who cultivate the plant for its delicate perfume. It has long been a flower of Anglia and House Kade, whose center of power gave the flower its current name in Common. The petals of the bloom can be used to create a delightful perfume commonly worn by young ladies and their attendants, though it has been shown to cause respiratory issues with the more beastial Races of Aloria, such as the Url.

Emperor's Pride	Emperor’s Pride is a purple flower that grows across the Regalian Empire well known for its ties to the Imperial Family and the faith of Unionism. A simple wildflower, its ascent to importance has also seen it have a wide variety of uses, from a symbol of allegiance to ue as a weaker strain of Opium.

Triclone Orchid	For centuries, the Triclone Orchid has been an aid to both healers and commoners alike. With its powerful numbing capabilities, the intricate flower has become a staple in healing clinics and medicine cabinets. It was first discovered in the Dorinn region of the Regalian Archipelago, where the orchid continues to thrive today. The Triclone Orchid grows high up in the mountains, where it is cultivated by the Dorinn monks which take residence there. Its unique name stems from the fact that the orchid flower branches into three identical buds, creating an odd yet aesthetically unique flower.

Saaktus Flower	Saaktus Flowers are unique plants that are ignored by Oorl Worms to the degree that carrying or wearing a salve of the plant is enough to prevent possible victims of the Url transformation from turning into the bovine Race. For this reason, they are loathed by many Jorrhildr-native Url, and have been a major trade good for the Velheim Ailor of Jorrhildr, who sell them to the Regalian Empire for a tidy profit. The plant allows the Empire to treat with Url relatively safely, and allows for monitors and observers of Oorl Worms involved in the creation of Url Legions for the Regalian Military to avoid the fate they watch happen to others.

Trees

Trees

Allú'tornë	An all-around beneficial, if temperamental, tree, the Allú'tornë is a staple in the jungles of Daen, and now those of Hadaria. Its practical uses are limited to lumber and a form of fabric, but it has been used for these products for centuries by the Elves and other parties in Daen and Hadaria. Its thorny bark and fragrant flowers represent to many the dichotomous nature of the jungle, equal parts beauty and “danger” though most sentient Races know well enough to not cut themselves on these natural defenses. In the present day, it grows wild in warm, wet climates, waiting to be harvested each spring.

Areu’llei-oná	The Areu’llei-oná is a tree that appears gnarled, twisted and dead but is actually alive for unknown reasons. Despite their best attempts, not even the Yanar understand the tree’s ability to appear dead and many regard the tree as being cursed in some form. The fact that these trees most likely did not exist until the Wildering adds to this unease. Today, the tree is used for lumber or planted as decoration wherever a dead-looking tree is needed, such as during a harvest festival.

Dragonet Apple	A small, sour fruit, the Dragonet Apple is commonly found growing in the trees of the Anglian regions of Regalia. Found to the north of Regalia in the Anglian region of the Empire, the Dragonet Apple is a small sour fruit. Most popular as the key ingredient to a local cider, it is often an acquired taste, but remains popular as an ethnic food as quirkily original as the Anglian people.

Drachenwald Nuttree	The Drachenwald Nuttree is a tree not only known for its golden bark in the spring and summer months but also for the highly sought after Drachenwald Nutteggs that grow from its branches. A delicacy for years and primarily enjoyed by the upper class; the Drachenwald Crisis severely damaged the existing population of Nuttrees. In the years since, the plant has slowly been recovering but remains rare despite the protections it is now given by those who deal its rare nuts across the world.

Giving Tree	The Giving Tree is an evergreen species native to the humid and tropical regions of Aloria. Likely originating from the Far West, the plant is well known for an extremely fast growing period and rapid, continuous production of fruit over the year of life it possesses. Given Fruit, its bounty, is sweet and aromatic, enjoyed by many in a variety of sweet dishes. The tree is also notable for its ancient ties with the Altalar goddess Cae-Maen, Martyr of Respite, whose charitable nature it is sometimes seen to emulate.

Juniper Tree	Juniper Trees have a long, deep connection to the northern reaches of Aloria. Among the Velheim Ailor, they have long been a plant of great importance both for their wood and their berries, which have been used in the creation of many beverages and foods. However, its growth across Aloria and a wide variety of appearances also make the tree unique as many other Cultures make use of the plant without a second thought.

Lanarra Tree	Lanarra’s Hand is a sweet, tangy fruit from Essalonia which takes its name from the Old Gods goddess, though it was once named for a variety of Oldt Fayth gods and goddesses. The fruit can be eaten raw but is most commonly converted into incense and perfume for use on the person or altars dedicated to Old Gods or Oldt Fayth deities.

Laoyan Tree	The Laoyan Tree is a unique plant said to be the result of knowledge shared to the Sihai people by the White Loong Dragon Laoyan. These trees, once confined to the terrain within and outside his temple, were later transplanted successfully by the scholarly and studious Lova and can now be found in harmony gardens all across Dexai. A short species of willow, the Laoyan Tree can still reach impressive sizes and it serves as a reminder of the bond between the Sihai and their great guardians, the Loong. The Tree can also provide wood; often used in special walking sticks and canes for the elderly or disabled members of Sihai society.

Reaper	Reapers are carnivorous, “hostile” trees from the continent of Drowda. While rarely capable of killing regional fauna and Sihndar outright, it instead tends to develop symbiotic relationships with Drowda’s predators. In exchange for plenty of dead or remains to feast on, Reapers provide various species a place to sleep and gain respite from the harsh environment. For this reason, these plants are often considered trees of the dead, and their destruction by the Sihndar is seen as a cleansing act to free lost souls.

Royal Oak	The Royal Oak is a very common and widespread tree found throughout the temperate regions of Aloria. The tree does not have any particularly unique or special properties. However, due to the sheer quantity of it, the Royal Oak has been used as the primary source of wood for the miscellaneous empires that have ruled over Aloria. Even today, Royal Oaks are used to craft and construct nearly every wooden object, from toys to buildings to ships.

Banasque Tree	Banasque Trees are exotic fruit-bearing plants of unknown origin which have since spread across Aloria to areas of Daen, Corontium, Hadaria and even, sparingly, in Farah’deen. The plant’s fruits are known as Sunspears, Banasques, and several other terms native to the region they exist in. Growing in bunches, and often bright yellow in coloration, they are commonly used in unique dishes both by the regions they come from but also in the Regalian Archipelago. The most notable region to produce them is the Solacian Isles, and as importing them is a lucrative trade, the Tolonne and other local Ailor have grown prosperous off of harvesting the bunches.

Shrubs

Shrubs

Bloodroot	With a name as morbid as Bloodroot, some might assume that the plant has a morbid or violent past. This is not the case as Bloodroot’s name is derived from the color of its roots. Although steeped in light superstition, the plant itself finds beneficial use in tattoo ink. Bloodroot has found limited use in the Allorn Empire. Tattoos made of the plant’s sap remains popular in with the Kathar, Maritime Altalar, Daendroque Ailor, commoners and Avanthar tribes even today.

Angle Berrybush	Angle Berrybushes are tall plants, known for their ability to grow year round as well as produce the notable Angle Bushberry. The plant is indigenous to Anglia and has spread in popularity along with House Kade. The Bushberry is the main ingredient in many baked goods, drinks, and is used to decorate various areas of Unionist religious structures. The plant remains a local and national favorite for their abundance, flavor, and simple beauty.

Cloudberry	Native to the mountain ranges of Daendroc, the Cloudberry is an ingredient commonly used by many Daendroque chefs and culinary specialists. Cloudberry is typically added as a garnish to many meals. While frequently used by those native to the mountain regions of Daendroc, the Cloudberry has begun to be imported by foreign kitchens seeking to add more exotic flavor to their dishes. Due to the Cloudberry’s relatively unknown presence in other areas of Aloria, it makes a delightful surprise to the plates of foreign patrons who visit Daendroque restaurants, especially in the cultural mixing pot of Regalia.

Falconet's Bush	The Falconet’s Bush is a low-lying bush from the mountainous Montania region of the Regalian Archipelago that produces the bitter-tasting Falconet’s Jewel that only grows in springtime. The berry itself is sought after mainly as a topper or feature to add prestige to a dish because of its short growing season making it rare. Today the berry is protected by the Montanian people from pests and other dangers so that it can flourish wherever possible given its picky growing conditions.

Talea Foil	Talea Foil is a strange plant with the reputation of smelling like the elderly, and is insultingly named by the Ailor for the most significant empress of the Allorn Empire. It is found most commonly in Essalonia, but has spread to Corontium in recent years as people have purposefully shipped it to their garden for quite the anti-Altalar statement, and smell. Additionally, the plant is named after it’s long, narrow but extremely rigid leaves that appear like fencing foils.

Ogrebait	Ogrebait is a large, leafy shrub native to the lowlands of High Trollar and its surrounding territories. While originally heralded by Ogre hunters for its ability to attract and tranquilize the beasts through consumption, today it finds its common use upon the shelves of healers and in potions. When steeped to allow the plant’s oils to seep out, the resulting liquid produces a relaxing, sleepy effect in patients, and is used commonly as a stress-reliever or sleeping aid.

Witch’s Fingers	Description Pending...

Shurbakal	Sometimes called the “king-among-fruit” for the spiked crown of leaves that protrude from the top of the fruit, the Shurbakal is a plant originally cultivated on distant Guldar which has since been transplanted to Daen by the Orcs. Often overlooked at first due to its hard, spiny exterior and deep crimson coloration, the blood red flesh of a Shurbakal is surprisingly sweet and has been a favorite treat among Orcs since its domestication. It is difficult to grow, taking plenty of time and care, though the sweet fruit and juice it produces is certainly worth it for many. It has seen rising popularity among Ailor and Nelfin, resulting in the plant now being farmed across the broad swath of tropical terrain.

Gardu	The Gardu plant has had a place in history for as long as the sands of Al-Alus have been inhabited. One of the only plants to produce fruit in the desert, it has peaked the interest of nobility and biologists alike. Raised exclusively in Califaera, Al-Alus, and other parts of Farah’deen, this plant remains difficult to farm and even more difficult to obtain outside the unforgiving sands. Its properties, when boiled, have caused it to become an essential part of medicine in the Songaskian culture and word of its properties has spread to Regalia, who seek it for its value in medicine.

Popberry	Exclusive to the Regalian Archipelago, the Popberry is a curious fruit used primarily for practical jokes, crimes, and celebrations. The plant is a relatively recent discovery in comparison to other plants and was located by a survey team observing the wider Calem region. The Popberry possesses the ability to create powerful gusts of air, a trait that has since been frequently abused by criminals in large cities. Besides this, none have found any new uses for the berry and it remains a plant on the fringe of common knowledge.

Yuntia Cactus	The Yuntia Cactus is a padded cactus native to Ithania's desert. The yellow flowers of this cactus can be used to brew refreshing teas and medicinal infusions that help remove impurities from the lungs and respiratory tracts. The cactus is also considered an icon of ancient Varran culture, and as such holds great relevance to the present-day Varran who wish to reclaim their identity. Other Ithanian and Daendroque people may also use the cactus as a vegetable food source. Yuntia Cacti are highly adaptable succulents, and in the present day have spread to cooler climates abroad.

Zereus Cactus	The Zereus Cactus is a large, tree-like succulent native to the deserts of Farah’deen. This cactus grows as a tight cluster of columns which blossoms vigorously before producing delectable fruits. Despite several disasters striking the plant's native homes, it has continued to survive both in the wild and in cultivation. Farah’deen is currently the largest exporter of Zereus fruits, and holds plantations containing the largest population of Zereus Cacti.

Grasses

Grasses

Achin Root	Native to the Regalian Archipelago, but now spread across Aloria by the Ailor, Mint is an oddity in how many uses it has. Usually found growing in cooler, moist areas and often wherever the Regalian Empire has made trading contact with, Mint will be found growing sooner or later. The herb has earned a unique reputation as an herb that anyone can have a use for.

Black Grass	Black Grass is a lesser danger of the Ularen Wastes, taking victims by surprise with its inconspicuous look rather than brute strength. The grass has a glossy appearance and dark coloration which hide its fiery nature, as it is an excellent fire starter. However, it is also healthy for the various herbivores that live within the Wastes, which have been eating it for centuries. Today, the Avanthar make use of both of these properties, as do the Cielothar, though to a lesser extent.

Corpse Weed	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. Its colonies are often referred to as forests of the sea, due to the thick, long leaves that easily hide obstructions and the sea predators that lurk within. Corpse Weed is most commonly consumed by Maiar as they are the only race that can ingest the plant raw.

Empairina	Empairina, native to Drowda, is a fern used both for nourishment and dim lighting. Its creation was at the time of the Void Invasions, when magic spilled into the land and corrupted this common plant. Since then, it has flourished on Drowda and has even spread to different parts of the world, grown in places where the sun cannot reach.

Fireweed	Fireweed is the name for a fiery plant that originated on the Daendroc supercontinent which has since been transplanted to regions of New Ceardia and Farah’deen. Useful as an antiseptic once distilled, it has been known in the driest points of the year to burst into flames and further spread its seeds out across the area.

Gingerroot	Description Pending...

Mint	Description Pending...

Shadow Weed	Native to the tainted and blackened forests of Drowda, Shadow Weed is a violet-colored weed which has a variety of uses. Shadow Weed grows exclusively in dark and dimmed areas, occasionally discovered in underground caverns and caves. Originally reaped by the Elves of Drowda for its healing properties, they soon discovered Shadow Weed’s additional uses.

Tangleweed	Description Pending...

Herbs

Herbs

Bitter Spear	Walking along the volcanic bases of Fendarfelle, one could come across a peculiar looking herb known as Bitter Spear. This odd-looking stalk emerges around shaded regions at the feet of volcanic activity. It is believed the plant emerged shortly after Ithanian explorers ventured further into uncharted territory around 205 AC. One of the most staggering details they noticed was its strange appearance, resembling a tall, solid stalk with a mushroom-like tip protruding at its peak. Travelers attempted to experiment with the plant for consumption in stews, however it became quite apparent the plant was far too bitter. Instead, explorers discovered its ability to fend off allergic reactions, and it has been valued ever since.

Ceá’llë's Herb	Native to the plains and jungle regions of Daen, Ceá’llë's Herb became a hallmark of Altalar traditional medicine for its immune system enhancing qualities. It’s frequently used by healers and commoners alike to help fend off the illnesses found deep in the jungles and sometimes as a garnish to foo

Avant Leaf	Avant Leaf is one of the few plants known to exist that grants its user a certain edge in combat. While it doesn’t negate pain like the concoction Dansey’s Stride, the effects of Avant Leaf are often likened to an extra-strong Kaffee that grants the user increased stamina and vigor. Warriors frequently use Avant Leaf before a battle for the rush of energy it provides, sometimes supplemented by additional ingredients in the enhancement potion Thelwen Brew.

Modrá’s Root	Modra Root is a gnarled tuber that grows on rocky mountainsides in the cold northern climates of Jorrsundr and Ellador. This root can be utilized as a foodstuff, but is most often used as a method of tattooing. A notable consequence of using Modra Root for tattoos is the warmth that spreads to the surrounding skin.

Vinette	Description Pending...

Wormfern	The small silvery-green swirled plant known as Wormfern has been farmed for years, dating back to the arrival of Nelfin slavers to Ithania. Used by the Elves for cooking, the magical uproar of the Cataclysm altered the plant in such a way that its minty taste wasn’t its only asset. To Vampires, ingesting Wormfern easily causes issues and when made into alcohol, it causes even more problems. This has made the drink very popular in the military sector as well as the commercial.

Iceleaf	Description Pending...

Stōor Root	Stōor Root has a bad reputation across Aloria, often being considered a weed and pest wherever it grows wild. However, to the Orcs it is a precious substance given it helps all they eat to taste incredibly savory. But, to all others, the Root and all it is added to ends up being extremely bitter. As a result, while it has spread across Aloria thanks to Orcish travels, it is rarely cultivated or eaten by those beyond that Race.

Vines

Vines

Bloodthorn Vine	The Bloodthorn Vine found on Hadaria has served as a minor defense against the unwary to the island chain’s dangers. However, after a Slizzar alchemist unlocked its hallucinogenic properties, it became an essential plant to the Slizzar people and their worship of the Deep Sea Serpents. The plant suffered terribly during and in the aftermath of the Chrysant War but it has begun to find its way back into the ecosystem of the tropical region.

Roughvine	Roughvine is a vine that grows most commonly along the coastlines of Farah'deen, particularly on the walls of the famous Pearl Cities of the Songaskian Masaya that dot the coast, and the Sariyd Empire before them. While it is sometimes used in some culinary dishes, Roughvine's primary use is its medical application of easing muscle and joint pain.

Stranglers	Stranglers are carnivorous plants that emit a strong, sweet scent to attract prey. They have an appearance similar to jellyfish, consisting of a bulbous body with many tendrils hanging down. In ancient times, Stranglers were a popular houseplant during the early days of the Elven Empire. This popularity faded with the decadence of that empire, but in recent times it has risen again after Humans started taking notice of the exotic plant. Nowadays, Stranglers are bred in many varieties of colors and sizes and collected as a curiosity.

Poison Ivy	The bane of many travelers throughout Aloria, not many plants are as ubiquitously reviled by so many as Poison Ivy, also known as the Three-Leafed Ivy. This species of plant is hated for good reason, for even rubbing clothing against it can lead to a nasty rash with an unrelenting itch in the area beneath the clothing. While its origins are unknown, it can be found in the forests of most Alorian continents to this day.

Moss

Moss

Brightmoss	Brightmoss is a glowing plant native to the deep caves of Ellador. Without sunlight, the moss acts as a parasite of the various fungi also found within its native caves. Its most popular use is by the ground-dwelling Dwarves, who use Brightmoss as natural signposts to guide travellers through their cave systems. The moss is also known to have antiseptic qualities that can be used to prevent wounds from becoming infected, earning a firm place among certain field surgeons. Today, the moss is an uncommon herb used mostly by healers and alchemists and can be found sparingly in specialized botanical gardens across Aloria.

Dirtmoss	Description Pending...

Duijnnemose	Description Pending...

Skymoss	Skymoss has long been known to wider Aloria thanks to its association with the Altalar. Spreading up from the treetops of Teled Methen, the plant came to be a common substance that afflicted the tops of Altalar towers. While not harmful, it spreads itself rapidly and can grow thick quickly, earning it the view of a pesky plant lacking uses. Among the Maraya though, it is sparing consumed in supposed emulation of their ancestors. Today most still associate it with the Altalar opinion, and also see that it is a commonly consumed food source of the Ciel'lapanna Crane.

Reeds

Reeds

Dúllci Cane	Beginning during the rise of Elven Civilization, the Dúllci Cane has had a long history as a popular plantation crop. After the Empire fell, the remaining Nelfin took up the reins and continued to farm and process the plant. Primarily grown to be processed into sugar or used in special local Elven drinks, it remains an incredibly important crop for the various nations of Daendroc.

Garuda Stalk	The Garuda Stalk is a unique, bamboo-like plant from Dexai known for two uses. One is innocent, for sweet and delicious culinary creations, while the other is more malicious. The plant’s “bark” can blind people for periods of time based on how it is ingested, and was a tool used by the Sihai War Dynasty in the past to weaken their enemies. Today, the criminal element of wider Aloria makes use of the plant mostly for this malicious purpose. As such,the more honest denizens of the Sihai community must be wary in who asks about their Stalk. Are they a cuisine-focused friend or a cruel and blinding foe?

Farran Cane	Description Pending...

Grains

Grains

Dorinn Rye	Dorinn Rye is the trademark grain of the region of Dorinn in the Regalian Archipelago. Used both in baked goods as well as various namesake alcohols, Dorinn Rye has grown in popularity tremendously since it was first harvested back in 50 AC. While it is not as accessible or widely available as Anglian Wheat, Dorinn Rye is grown in both Dorinn and Ithania.

Fletcher’s Wheat	Fletcher’s Wheat has a long history with the Ailor originating from their believed homeland of Old Ceardia. Carried across the world by their migrants and eventually refugees, the Ceardian people were quick to favor this variation of the grain over Anglian Wheat and Dorinn Rye. Today, New Ceardia is blanketed in fields full of Fletcher’s Wheat, and the hardy grain stands as a parallel to its steadfast caretakers.

Anglian Wheat	Anglian Wheat is the staple crop of the Anglian people of the Regalian Archipelago, and one of the most commonly exported wheats worldwide. Generations ago, they tamed and grew this wild grain until it now stands as one of the most prominent symbols of the Regalian Empire. Sporting a rich, golden color that has been transplanted across the world, the wheat now stands as one of the staple crops of the untold thousands of hard-working farmers across the Empire.

Fungi

Fungi

Dulofall	Dulofall, sometimes called the Dulôte Curse, is a parasitic fungal affliction caused by a magic-powered blood curse, though it is often also classified as an illness or disease. Dulofall shares similarities with Vampirism, but is primarily a fungal disease which changes the host both physically and mentally. Dulofall is highly infectious and often difficult to discover due to its very hidden nature; carriers of the disease do not appear naturally ill or otherwise sickly to behold. On the contrary, the infestation cleverly alters Yanar carriers to become more attractive to maximize its ability to spread. Dulofall affects plant-life most severely; Yanar act as carriers, but the fungal spores can also affect any other race ranging from Humanoid to Dargan and even Mekket, with the exception of the Lampar. In addition, there is no known cure for Dulofall. Being infected with Dulofall isn’t necessarily a death sentence, but being exposed as infected always results in social rejection and isolation.

Fingercap	Description Pending...

Honey Ball	Honey Ball is a rare fungus native to Drowda, Ellador and Fendarfelle. The fungus is known for having an alluringly sweet taste despite its strange color. In ancient times, Honey Ball was a tasty mushroom prized by the Drovv race. After the Cataclysm, the fungus was mutated and became even sweeter. After its discovery by various other races, it became a rare delicacy prized by merchants and reserved for the high class and nobility.

Praeter Stew Horn	Praeter Stew Horn is a fungus native to Drowda with an ancient history dating back to the Drovv of the north, who consumed the fungi as part of their everyday diet. Though the Fifth Void Invasion took many things away, it instead added one effect to the fungi, the power of aiding digestion. Quick to grow and easy to eat raw, but often used in soup by the ergonomic Drowdar, the Stew Horn has become a key part of their diet. Unfortunately, it is also the crucial part of several other animals’ diets, such as the Norlda, which has brought the two life forms into violent contact more times than can be counted.

Sangcap	Description Pending...

Shademarsh Mushroom	The Shademarsh Mushroom is an unassuming brown-capped mushroom that can be found growing in swamplands on several continents. Once a harmless fungus, the magical energy that came with the Cataclysm twisted it into a dark poison. When the mushroom is consumed, it causes heart palpitations and feelings of dread; these effects can reach dangerously high levels unless the poison is cured or purged from the body.

Theomar’s Fungus	Named after the larger than life Theomar the Holy of the Regalian Empire, Theomar’s Fungus is a plant commonly used in alleviating the effects of poisons and toxins. Naturally found across the Regalian Archipelago, and other lands through trade, this fungus is a cheap and basic tool used by medics and healers.

Undercity Shroom	The Undercity Mushroom is a fungus found in the caves and Dwarven ruins of Ellador. Due to its flavorful taste, the Undercity Mushroom is considered a staple of Dwarven cuisine, subsequently causing it to spread throughout Dwarven holds, including as a household pest. Additionally, the mushroom has been introduced to the surface as a tasty food as well, though their spores are known to cause breathing problems if not properly washed.

Wizard’s Melancholy	Description Pending...

Eluhwa	Eluhwa is an extensively farmed and edible mushroom that grows on the tainted land of Drowda. Eaten by the local wildlife and Drowdar of the continent, it has a hearty, earthen taste. This unique ingredient is able to be used in Praeter Stew to negate the effects of the unhealthy fungi, as well as to increase the physical endurance of the consumer.

 |flora8desc  = Sometimes called the “king-among-fruit” for the spiked crown of leaves that protrude from the top of the fruit, the Shurbakal is a plant originally cultivated on distant Guldar which has since been transplanted to [[Daen]] by the [[Orcs]]. Often overlooked at first due to its hard, spiny exterior and deep crimson coloration, the blood red flesh of a Shurbakal is surprisingly sweet and has been a favorite treat among Orcs since its domestication. It is difficult to grow, taking plenty of time and care, though the sweet fruit and juice it produces is certainly worth it for many. It has seen rising popularity among [[Ailor]] and [[Nelfin]], resulting in the plant now being farmed across the broad swath of tropical terrain.

+|flora9desc  = The Gardu plant has had a place in history for as long as the sands of Al-Alus have been inhabited. One of the only plants to produce fruit in the desert, it has peaked the interest of nobility and biologists alike. Raised exclusively in [[Califaera]], [[Al-Alus]], and  other parts of [[Farah’deen]], this plant remains difficult to farm and even more difficult to obtain outside the unforgiving sands. Its properties, when boiled, have caused it to become an essential part of medicine in the [[Songaskian]] culture and word of its properties has spread to [[Regalia]], who seek it for its value in medicine.

+|flora10desc = Exclusive to the [[Regalian Archipelago]], the Popberry is a curious fruit used primarily for practical jokes, crimes, and celebrations. The plant is a relatively recent discovery in comparison to other plants and was located by a survey team observing the wider Calem region. The Popberry possesses the ability to create powerful gusts of air, a trait that has since been frequently abused by criminals in large cities. Besides this, none have found any new uses for the berry and it remains a plant on the fringe of common knowledge.
+|flora11      = [[Yuntia Cactus]]
+|flora11desc  = The Yuntia Cactus is a padded cactus native to [[Ithania's]] desert. The yellow flowers of this cactus can be used to brew refreshing teas and medicinal infusions that help remove impurities from the lungs and respiratory tracts. The cactus is also considered an icon of ancient [[Varran]] culture, and as such holds great relevance to the present-day Varran who wish to reclaim their identity. Other [[Ithanian]] and [[Daendroque]] people may also use the cactus as a vegetable food source. Yuntia Cacti are highly adaptable succulents, and in the present day have spread to cooler climates abroad.
+|flora12     = [[Zereus Cactus]]
+|flora12desc = The Zereus Cactus is a large, tree-like succulent native to the deserts of [[Farah’deen]]. This cactus grows as a tight cluster of columns which blossoms vigorously before producing delectable fruits. Despite several disasters striking the plant's native homes, it has continued to survive both in the wild and in cultivation. Farah’deen is currently the largest exporter of Zereus fruits, and holds plantations containing the largest population of Zereus Cacti.
