|flora1      = [[Black Orchid]]
|flora1      = [[Black Orchid]]
|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.

|flora3      = [[Chrysant Flower]]
|flora3      = [[Chrysant Flower]]
|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.
|flora3desc  = The beautiful Chrysant Flower was once one of the most populous blooms of [[Hadar]], growing plentiful on the region’s many islands and appearing as an important symbol of the [[Slizzar]] to the wider world. By the time the [[Chrysant War]] had come to an end, however, the flower had been transformed into a symbol of victory for the [[Regalian Empire]] and a reminder of the past for the [[Allar]] and Slizzar. To this day, the Regalian Empire proudly uses this flower as a constant reminder of their victory, despite the fact that the [[Regalian]]s nearly drove the flower to extinction. Despite this, the Slizzar cannot let go of this most favored flower due to its key uses and symbolism in their faith and society.

|flora8    = [[Lady’s Shine]]
|flora8    = [[Lady’s Shine]]
|flora8desc = 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.

|flora17    = [[Axford Maiden]]
|flora17desc = 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]].

|flora20    = [[Saaktus Flower]]
|flora20    = [[Saaktus Flower]]
|flora20desc = 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.

|flora27    = [[Sandlet Blomst]]
|flora27    = [[Sandlet Blomst]]
|flora27desc = Sandlet Blomst are a species of [[Flora]] native to the continent of [[Farah’deen]], where it thrives in the humid, sandy dunes. Noted for its bitter Sandlet Berries, it is an uncommon plant outside of Farah’deen, though Songaskians have carried it far from home to their new ones abroad. First discovered by a member of the [[Sariyd Empire]], the [[Songaskians]] took the major role in cultivating and using the plant. Its petals are formed into a bowl shape to collect moisture on the rare occasion it rains, and its roots are known to extend up to five feet into the soil.

|flora28    = [[Lilliënmark Blom]]
|flora28desc = As small and stout as the Lilliënmark Blom appears to be, its significance and symbolism in certain [[Ailor]] [[Cultures]] is much greater. This purple petaled flower almost appears as a shrub, growing close to the ground in the winter time high above on the peaks of the Irole Alps. While the [[Genevaud]] people have claimed to have discovered it in their region, the [[Leutz-Vixe]] people have taken sentimental ownership through deep incorporation of the Lilliënmark Blom into their own Culture. The flower became a fashion statement for them to show their dedication to the [[Regalian Military]], and which has given rise to it becoming a symbol of Imperial support. Its popularity only grows as more people adopt the [[Regal]] Culture and it has gradually become a staple in their society.

|flora7desc = Lenasanna Trees are native to [[Essalonia]] and take their name from the [[Old Gods]] deity Lensa, named by the original [[Velheim]] settlers of the continent centuries ago. The trees remained relatively unknown until the arrival of the [[Regalian Empire]] and the tree’s unique fruit, Lensanna’s Hand, became a unique product both eaten raw as well as processed into beauty products. The fruit is also sometimes placed on the altars of the [[Union of Fire]] as an offering to the goddess who inspired its name.

|flora8      = [[Laoyan Tree]]
|flora8      = [[Loongliu]]
|flora8desc  = 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.
|flora8desc  = The Loongliu is a unique plant said to be the result of knowledge shared with the [[Sihai]] people from the [[Loong Dragon]]s. These trees, once confined to the terrain around the mountain temples, were later transplanted successfully by the scholarly and studious members of Sihai society and can now be found in gardens all across [[The Far East]]. As a short species of willow, the Loongliu can still reach impressive sizes and serves as a reminder of the bond between the Sihai and their Loong guardians.

|flora13    = [[Wyld Wood]]
|flora13    = [[Wyld Wood]]
|flora13desc = Wyld Wood is an arcane enigma that prompts caution from even the [[Kathar]] of the [[Dread Empire]], as the vast Warpwood Forests are notorious for swallowing up anyone foolish enough to enter. As the result of centuries of magical corruption and [[Void]] Storms, Wyld Wood has a reputation for being both whimsical and uncanny to behold, its forests not necessarily evil but certainly unpredictable, becoming a twisted home for the [[Wolathar]] and [[Wylathar]]. Fascination and fear spread of this tree among both the Kathar and [[Altalar]], with only the more eccentric collectors willing to risk themselves to acquire this magnificent tree.

|flora14    = [[Brass-heart Tree]]
Line 136: Line 139:
|flora16desc = The Singing Syprelle is a uniquely colored tree with a strange ability to sing. While neither a clear voice nor even a musical instrument is heard, the melodious melody this plant produces as the wind runs through it is known across [[Aloria]]. The effect carries into the lumber of this tree, with furniture, statues, and more carved of the material singing when the breeze strikes them. For this reason, they are often pieces of the wealthy, used to accentuate a home or estate with melodies otherwise made with effort.

|flora17    =  
|flora17    = [[Kashan Dimi]]
|flora17desc =  
|flora17desc = The Kashan Dimi is a unique tree from [[Farah’deen]], either as old as the [[Sariyd Empire]], or, if the [[Songaskia]] are to be believed, born from the spilled blood of one of their [[Dragon]] parents as a result of the [[Red Hunt]] which took place centuries ago. Possessing a rich, deep red sap and a curious umbra-like shape to its crown due to a dense network of clustered branches, the Kashan Dimi is greatly appreciated by the Songaskia and disliked in equal strength by the [[Qadir]].
 
|flora18    = [[Geolutreo]]
|flora18desc = The Geolutreo is a tree well known [[Aloria]]-wide as a tree supposedly made of solid [[Gold]], though many know this rumour is false and is merely born from countless ancient myths about its supposed creation. While it’s a dull golden color that only glitters when wet or misty, the Geolutreo is also known for its strange ability to alter the breezes that pass through it, making them smell sweet and feel warm. As a result, it has been widely used both in art and practical objects by [[Ailor]] and [[Nelfin]] for generations.
 
|flora19    = [[Lightmare Ash]]
|flora19desc = The Lightmare Ash is a recently birthed tree, likely created in the same blast of unknown but powerful [[Magic]] that birthed the [[Isldar]] and froze much of [[The North Belt]]. The tree has many superstitions surrounding it, from its supposed ability to give nightmares to the beliefs of fringe scholars that they are natural sivs for [[Soul Essence]]. Regardless of the truth, the plant’s pale lumber and constant glowing particle aftereffect makes it sought after by craftsmen [[Aloria]]-over.
 
|flora20    = [[Ironsonia]]
|flora20desc = Ironsonias are huge,dark-lumber trees with a deep connection to the [[Asha]] and the [[Dewamenet Empire]]. The [[Altalar]] who came after ignored the tree, despite vague claims to its ties to [[Sca’Elle]], and the Asha would eventually reclaim it as they freed themselves from Altalar slavery three centuries ago. Ironsonias now populate the [[Ashal Islands]], renown for their iron-level strength and long-lasting nature, and have been turned into many treasured objects over the years which have withstood the test of time.
 
|flora21    = [[Tee’kratonna]]
|flora21desc = Tee’kratonnas are towering trees native to the distant [[Sundial Isles]] and have been embraced as symbols of the [[Suvial]] [[Altalar]]. Now suffering at the hand of multiple Void-outs over a nearly 300 year period, the Sundial Isles are in need of the survival of these grand trees to maintain the rapidly degrading ecosystem. The tree is also known for its natural binding ability, resistance to the elements as well as fragrant flowers and important oils, all elements seeing it used in a range of different ways by the Suvial who rely on this local vegetation.
 
|flora22    = [[Baadalan Tree]]
|flora22desc = Baadalan Trees are better known as cotton trees to most in [[Aloria]] given their primary byproduct of cotton, soft white fibers harvested from around the Tree’s seeds. Baadalan Trees originated within the [[Sundial Isles]] where they were rapidly exploited by the [[Suvial]] and soon, the broader [[Allorn Empire]] which saw them spread out across a vast area of [[Aloria]]. They remain essential for their production of cotton, now used in the production of literal tons of fabric across many nations, and in a wide spectrum of bright colors.
 
|flora23    = [[Taqafasula Tree]]
|flora23desc = Originated from northern [[Farah’deen]] and spread by the exodus of [[Qadir]] during the waning years of the [[Sariyd Empire]], the Taqafasula Tree is a tall tree well known for its contributions to the culinary world. Often called Kaffee Trees because they produce the [[Kaffee]] bean, the plant has become widely popular across the world because of this fruit it bears. Great plantations of the Tree dot the southern reaches of the [[Regalian Archipelago]] and areas of [[Daen]], while it is still grown in Farah’deen, enjoyed by both [[Races]] now native and made to share that distant continent.
 
|flora24    = [[Ina-asa Tree]]
|flora24desc = While the mainland [[Sihai]] have the [[Loongliu]], the [[Balantagi]] Sihai have the Ina-asa. With its thin trunk and branches, it spreads across the islands of [[Lupain ng Pahimakas]] with ease. When the Pindjang first settled after being driven to leave their original homeland, the native tree was the first to greet the predecessors of the Balantagi. Despite its inability to be used in furniture or housing, it maintains its central position in Balantagi life with its multifaceted use in consumption for medicinal and culinary usage, which hold significance for a nation filled with people who live a life of both peace at home and battle away from it. The tree also holds the connection between the Balantagi and the [[Loong Dragon]]s, its flowers laid upon altars in remembrance.

|flora1      = [[Bloodroot]]
|flora1      = [[Bloodroot]]
|flora1desc  = 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.

|flora13      = [[Djew Sheney]]
|flora13      = [[Djew Sheney]]
|flora13desc  = Djew Sheney was once widely spread across the surface of the [[Ashal Islands]], its growth unmitigated, and it was readily available and widely domesticated. However, with the fall of the [[Dewamenet Empire]], the centuries of isolation left the growth on the isles unchecked, allowing more invasive species to overtake and vastly reduce its growth. Now, it has become a relict crop that seems only able to grow safely near the [[Living Metal]] tubes of the Ashal Isles, though with the recent efforts of the Asha, it has slowly begun to reach its former point.

|flora14    = [[Dharamotee]]
|flora14desc = Dharamotee is an ancient grain originally native to the [[Sundial Isles]] of [[The Far West]]. It was rapidly domesticated by the [[Altalar]] and has ultimately spread across the world into a range of strains that see growth in a variety of climates. Known for their hardiness, individual Dharamotee strains have other visual features from breeding the plant in a variety of ways by those who have grown them over the centuries. The plant commonly sees use in various cuisines across [[Aloria]], and it remains one of the major grains of the world.
|flora15    = [[Puraanabee]]
|flora15desc = Puraanabee was originally discovered by the [[Asha]] millennia ago, but the [[Altalar]] soon came and took the plant for themselves. They renamed it using the [[Suvial]] tongue and have since been responsible for the plant’s pollination across [[Aloria]] where it finds use by many all these years later. While capable of being used in cooking and minor artisanal ways, the plant’s primary use is in the creation of the fabric known as linen, which is known to hold the manifestations of faith on the material rather than the skin of the wearer, as has often been the case. This has led many religious figures to at least carry a stripe or flap of the material on their robes and uniforms to help provide some impact when they engage with their faith.
|flora15    = [[Sieth'lusia Seagrass]]
|flora15desc = A rough, scratchy fiber most commonly used in rope and sailing equipment, Sieth’lusia Seagrass is commonly found in bodies of water around the many continents of [[Daen]], and some nearby regions. It is unique in its structure and is most commonly used among the commoners and lower classes of many nautical [[Cultures]] and [[Races]].
|flora16    = [[Rice]]
|flora16desc = Rice is a staple of the [[Sihai]] diet that expanded outside of its homeland of [[Sheng]] centuries ago as the Sihai moved to [[Zhong]] and beyond. From this expansion, the easily morphed grain adapted to different regions and techniques, producing three distinct varieties and a number of sub variants as well. To produce Rice, grand communal agricultural projects bring together many resources to irrigate or flood the patties of earth most commonly used to grow the crop. Once processed, Rice is used in many culinary capacities, whether sweet, salty, or spicy, and it is likely this will only grow in time as western interest in the east only grows.

|flora8desc = Stoor Root has a bad reputation across [[Aloria]], often being considered a weed and pest wherever it grows wild. However, to the [[Eronidas]] 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 the travels of the Eronidas, it is rarely cultivated or eaten by those beyond that [[Race]].

|flora9      = [[Dewa’ann]]
|flora9      = [[Kian]]
|flora9desc  = The Dewa’ann is a plant that sees widespread use in Dexai, both as a medicinal item as well as an indispensable culinary good. It remains as one of the most common trade goods found aboard merchant ships departing from Dexai due to how long it takes to perish. Outside of [[Sihai Culture]], Dewa’ann is known mostly as an exotic medicinal plant, used as an [[Alchemy]] ingredient to alleviate various common ailments.

The Tabacca products that the Leaf helps produce are various, but all have the same effect, a calming of the nerves which is much liked by physicians. Tabacca Leaf grows in [[Daen]] and only Daen, jealous [[Daendroque]] Ailor heavily protecting one of their major sources of regional income as since 200 AC, the plant has only gained popularity.

|flora15desc =  
|flora15desc = Nettlestalk has an old history, being avoided by the [[Ceardian]] [[Ailor]] for much of their existence, only to be gradually embraced around 400 BC. Ultimately, the plant ended up thriving in lands beyond its origin, and methods of cultivation were eventually uncovered to circumvent its stinging hairs. The plant is best known for its bast, used to produce cheap fabric, crafted for many commoners, but it does have other uses often appearing in these same communities. The plant survived the [[Destruction of Old Ceardia]] with ease as well, and continues to grow wild and cultivated across many lands.

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.
|flora1desc  = The Bloodthorn Vine found on [[Hadar]] has served as a minor defense against the unwary to the island chain’s dangers for centuries, perhaps even longer if some tales are to be believed. However, after a [[Slizzar]] alchemist unlocked its hallucinogenic properties, it became an essential plant to the Slizzar people and their worship of their lost god.

The substance originated in [[Anglia]], but has since spread to various parts of [[Aloria]], and with the birth of [[Imperial Culture]], now serves a unique purpose as a tool of Imperial gardeners. Through the careful manipulation of the plant, muscled renditions of the male form can be born, conforming to the artist tenants of Imperial Culture.

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.
|flora1desc  = The Dúllci Cane has had a long history as a popular plantation crop. Likely being found in the [[Far West]] during the early decades of [[Altalar]] expansion, the plant persisted in importance even after the [[Allorn Empire]] fell. New nobles, mainly [[Ailor]] in origin, desired sweets, and so many took up the reins and continued to farm and process the plant across [[Daen]] and [[Corontium]]. Primarily grown to be processed into sugar or used to create alcoholic drinks, Dúllci Cane remains an incredibly important crop for the various nations across Aloria as a source of revenue.


|flora2      = [[Garuda Stalk]]
|flora2      = [[Teudou]]
|flora2desc  = 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.
