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, others heal, and many 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.
