|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.

|flora17    = [[Axford Maiden]]
|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.

|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.

|flora15    = [[Sieth'lusia Seagrass]]
|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      = [[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.

|flora1      = [[Bloodthorn Vine]]
|flora1      = [[Bloodthorn Vine]]
|flora1desc  = 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.
|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 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 once again.

|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      = [[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. 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?
|flora2desc  = Teudou is a unique, bamboo-like plant from [[Zhong]] known for its 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 [[Sihai]] warriors in the past to weaken their enemies. Today, the criminal element of wider [[Aloria]] makes use of the plant mostly for this baleful purpose. As such, the more honest denizens of the Sihai community must be wary about who asks after this stalk and determine if they are a cuisine-focused friend, or a cruel and blinding foe.
