Aloria’s plantlife is unimaginably diverse. From the magically twisted landscape of Drowda to the pastoral meadows of Evokai, one may find every manner of plant. Some harm, a few heal, and others have yet to be discovered. Yet all have carved out a niche in this world, some even helping to determine the rise and fall of civilizations. To explore the botanical life of Aloria, one must inevitably embark on a journey of discovery that uncovers not only the secrets of the land itself but the history and culture of nearly every race and people that inhabit it.
