|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.

|flora2      = [[Cérá-ac’íon Flower]]
|flora2      = [[Chrysant Flower]]
|flora2desc  = 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.
|flora2desc  = 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.


|flora3      = [[Chrysant Flower]]
|flora3      = [[Dragonflower]]
|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  = Dragonflowers are a prolific plant that has blossomed across disparate parts of [[Aloria]] for millennia. Known for their fiery colors and lust for water, the plants have been attached to many deities and systems of belief over the years. They are also best known for their uses in spicing culinary creations, but can also form fine, flashy dyes and brighten up any home. The plant’s broad spread has only grown with time, and many have embraced it as a symbol to ignite a passion in cooking, fashion, or one’s home.


|flora4     = [[Dragonflower]]
|flora4     = [[Friblomst]]
|flora4desc = A staple in [[Farah’deen]] and [[Human_Cultures#Daendroque|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.
|flora4desc = 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.


|flora5     = [[Dormdir Bulb]]
|flora5     = [[Poppy]]
|flora5desc = 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.
|flora5desc = 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.


|flora6     = [[Fireweed]]
|flora6     = [[Ruby Flower]]
|flora6desc = 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.
|flora6desc = 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.


|flora7     = [[Fly Orchid]]
|flora7     = [[Axford Maiden]]
|flora7desc = 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.
|flora7desc = 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 [[Urlan]].


|flora8    = [[Friblomst]]
|flora8    = [[Saaktus Flower]]
|flora8desc = 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.
|flora8desc = 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 [[Urlan]] transformation from turning into the bovine [[Race]]. For this reason, they are loathed by many [[Jorrhildr]]-native Urlan, 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 Urlan relatively safely, and allows for monitors and observers of Oorl Worms involved in the creation of Urlan Legions for the [[Regalian Military]] to avoid the fate they watch happen to others.


|flora9    = [[Lady’s Shine]]
|flora9    = [[Voluun Flower]]
|flora9desc = 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.
|flora9desc = The Voluun Flower is a relatively common flower that has been known for centuries, though its usage was only recently uncovered by the [[Races]] of the world. A naturally sticky flower, with small hairs trapping insects and more along its surface, the Flower’s processed form can create a putty-like substance when combined with paints. [[Estellon]] Worshipers who follow Savellon make use of this plant to mend imperfections, though junior potters and children also utilize it to help teach them skills in pottery.


|flora10    = [[Lorwick Thistle]]
|flora10    = [[Dravinda Spice|Avinla Spice]]
|flora10desc = 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.
|flora10desc = Avinla Spice is an exotic creation formed by the droplets of orange liquid from the hand of an [[Unwritten God]] native to the [[Sundial Isles]] and the [[Suvial Altalar]]. When these droplets fell into her garden, a new species of plant was born, both with a blend of explosive flavors and the capacity to impart hallucinations of events from the longstanding [[Suvial]]-[[Kathar]] conflict. The plant is heavily guarded and remains enclosed to the site known as [[Avinla’s Garden]], where an elite group of warriors and mages restricts access. Simultaneously, the city’s leadership has also legislated very harsh restrictions on the plant’s availability and to whom.  


|flora11    = [[Nightshade]]
|flora11    = [[Ullaline]]
|flora11desc = 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.
|flora11desc = Ullaline is a unique crop grown on plantations across [[Daen]] for the culinary market. The flower and its byproduct became popular as the [[Teledden Altalar]] subrace developed an aversion to salt; the fine white seeds of the Ullaline flower have a similar taste to salt, though without whatever element the Teledden find so abhorrent. As a result, it exploded in popularity and is now a major crop across the Daen continent. This has resulted in normal salt often being disregarded, with it existing in such abundance that it is often a cheaper alternative than the Ullaline byproduct.


|flora12    = [[Poppy]]
|flora12    = [[Sandlet Blomst]]
|flora12desc = 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.
|flora12desc = 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.  


|flora13    = [[Daisy]]
|flora13    = Rose
|flora13desc = 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.
|flora13desc = *Roses are Small plants well known across Aloria and are known to represent a wide variety of meanings.
*Roses thrive in temperate to humid environments in many areas of Aloria and have many varieties. Some of the best known are the rich red Coeur Rose of Westwynd, the pale Snow Rose of Jadeheart, the yellow-to-burgundy Torsian Rose of Eastwynd, and the deep blue Sea Rose of Corontium.
*Roses can grow in the wild, but have largely proliferated in cultivated surroundings, where they are cut and used as gifts and symbols, processed into oils for perfumes and much more.
*Roses are extremely populous across Aloria.


|flora14    = [[Ruby Flower]]
|flora14    = Water Lily
|flora14desc = 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.
|flora14desc = *Water Lilies are Small to Medium aquatic plants known for playing a key role in swamp or lake environments, while producing beautiful bright blooms which they support on the surface of mild waves.
*Water lilies are found in temperate and humid wetlands, swamps, rivers and lakes across Aloria. Of many species, the most notable are the Sun Lily of Corontium, the Di-Star of Sileria, the Pink Water-bloom of Jadeheart, and the Giant Lily of Westwynd and Altaleï.
*Water Lilies are cultivated as decoration in many artificial ponds and water features of upper class abodes, as well as those in city parks or spaces. They have limited uses beyond this, though are mainly spoken of with heavy symbolism in many works of poetic art.
*Water Lilies are populous across Aloria.


|flora15    = [[Song Flower]]
|flora15    = Lady’s Shine
|flora15desc = 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.
|flora15desc = *A Small, deep purple flower with a structure dominated by three large petals offset by three smaller ones, Lady’s Shine is one of the oldest known cultivated flowers.
*Lady’s Shine was once exclusive to the lands of Altaleï but has since spread to many other continents, surviving best in a humid climate but capable of hobbling along in temperate regions as well.
*Lady’s Shine is cultivated both for beauty in flower beds, but also for its use as an anti-toxin in alchemical creations.
*Lady’s Shine is overall populous in Aloria, but considerable conflict and political shifts in the world in the last decade have seen this fluctuate wildly.


|flora16    = [[Torsian Rose]]
|flora16    = Song Flower
|flora16desc = 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.
|flora16desc = *Small flowers closest in appearance to tulips, Song Flowers stand out by having stiff and murky pale petals which ring and chime when contacted.
*Song Flowers are native to Fendarfelle, and are now a cherished export from the regional colonies, though must be specially tended lest their song die out.
*Song Flowers serve aesthetics purposes alone, their gentle ringing song a soothing sound sought by many high cultures for decoration.
*Song Flowers are overall rare in Aloria, but continue to grow wild in successful patches of Fendarfelle.


|flora17    = [[Water Lily]]
|flora17    = Rouzhelle
|flora17desc = 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.
|flora17desc = *Rouzhelles are Small, densely-petaled red to burgundy flowers native to Corontium where they hold significance for those of Leutz-Vixe ancestry and among the modern Regal Culture which has largely subsumed them.
*Rouzhelles bloom in the forests, hills and swamps of central-south Corontium.
*Rouzhelles are cultivated in small pockets for transformation into an expensive local perfume and for transport to other areas ordering them, but they are otherwise allowed to grow wild.
*Rouzhelles are rare in wider Aloria, their population in Corontium healthy, but the plant is unlikely to spread beyond this region.


|flora18    = [[Axford Maiden]]
|flora18    = Violet-wing Flower
|flora18desc = 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]].
|flora18desc = *Violet-wing Flowers are Small purple flowers with the appearance of mirrored Nelfin ears in their petals which have significance to the Solvaan.
 
*The purple blossom is found in the misty forests of Solleria in Corontium, but can be grown elsewhere with relative ease.
|flora19    = [[Emperor's Pride]]
*Violet-wing Flowers are cultivated for their beauty and symbolic significance, tied to both Sinnavei, Mistress of the Azure Waves and the Regalian Empire. However, they are more commonly allowed to grow wild and free in the mists of Solleria.
|flora19desc = 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.
*Violet-wing Flowers are rare, held as significant to the Solvaan alone, and so while enclaves of the Race have examples of the plant in singular, or small clusters, they largely only grow in the Solvaan homeland.
 
|flora20    = [[Triclone Orchid]]
|flora20desc = 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.  
 
|flora21    = [[Saaktus Flower]]
|flora21desc = 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.
 
|flora21    = [[Voluun Flower]]
|flora21desc = The Voluun Flower is a relatively common flower that has been known for centuries, though its usage was only recently uncovered by the [[Races]] of the world. A naturally sticky flower, with small hairs trapping insects and more along its surface, the Flower’s processed form can create a putty-like substance when combined with paints. The [[Cult of Order]] makes use of this substance in the worship of one of their deities, [[Do’llah]], though junior potters and children also utilize it to help teach them skills in pottery.

|title = Trees
|title = Trees


|flora1      = [[Allú'tornë]]
|flora1      = [[Drachenwald Nuttree]]
|flora1desc  = 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.
|flora1desc  = 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.
 
|flora2      = [[Loongliu]]
|flora2desc  = 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. The tree can also provide wood and is often used in special walking sticks and canes for the elderly or disabled members of Sihai society.
 
|flora3    = [[Banasque Tree]]
|flora3desc = 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.


|flora2      = [[Areu’llei-oná]]
|flora4    = [[Wyld Wood]]
|flora2desc  = 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.
|flora4desc = 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 some among the Kathar. 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.


|flora3      = [[Dragonet Appletree]]
|flora5    = [[Brass-heart Tree]]
|flora3desc  = The Dragonet Appletree is a well known plant that can be found growing in the northern areas of the [[Regalian Archipelago]], most commonly in [[Anglia]]. It was originally a wild, uncultivated tree thought to be brought into civilization by a noble family torn apart over a feud. The apples from the tree itself are small, sour fruits with orange skin, and are often utilized in pastries or as the key ingredient in local cider. Since becoming domesticated, the tree has expanded in popularity, location and use to different fruit-related dishes and areas like [[Essalonia]].
|flora5desc = The Brass-heart Tree was once a symbol of paganism reviled by the [[Unionist]] [[Regalian Empire]] but celebrated among the faith of the [[Old Gods]] as a part of an ancient myth, and a symbol of the [[Union of Earth]] and the [[Union of Fire]]. However, with the rise of the cult of [[God Empress Elia]], the beliefs in the Tree changed drastically. The faithful instead connected it to her nickname, the Brass-Fist, eliminating its Old Gods derived names, and it became commonly used in the worship of the [[Divine Being]]. While some of the Old Gods faith still keep to their old ways, ignoring the Unionist co-opting of one of their sacred plants, many others have largely ceased their religious attachment to the Tree.  


|flora4      = [[Drachenwald Nuttree]]
|flora6    = [[Flori’nelaya]]
|flora4desc  = 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.
|flora6desc = Flori’nelaya are flexible trees of uncertain origins mostly associated with the [[Yanar]]. Named for one of their patron gods, Florianna, this species of tree is best known for being able to be manipulated by [[World Shift 1]], which serves it well in decoration and artistic purposes. This means that poles and similar formations of the material are also easy to produce for Yanar, but fortunately for the armies of the world as well as guard forces, the wood of the tree is light, and easily broken under constant stress. However, because of the tree’s reddish-brown grain which is smattered with speckles, most stick to artistic and decorative uses for the plant’s wood, alongside the creation of furniture.  


|flora5      = [[Giving Tree]]
|flora7    = [[Singing Syprelle]]
|flora5desc  = 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.
|flora7desc = 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.


|flora6      = [[Juniper Tree]]
|flora8    = [[Kashan Dimi]]
|flora6desc  = 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.
|flora8desc = 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]].


|flora7     = [[Lensanna Tree]]
|flora9     = [[Geolutreo]]
|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.
|flora9desc = 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.


|flora8      = [[Laoyan Tree]]
|flora10    = [[Lightmare Ash]]
|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.
|flora10desc = 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.


|flora9      = [[Reaper]]
|flora11    = [[Ironsonia]]
|flora9desc  = 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.  
|flora11desc = 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.


|flora10     = [[Royal Oak]]
|flora12     = [[Tee’kratonna]]
|flora10desc = 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.
|flora12desc = 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.


|flora11     = [[Banasque Tree]]
|flora13     = [[Baadalan Tree]]
|flora11desc = 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.
|flora13desc = 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.


|flora13     =  
|flora14     = [[Taqafasula Tree]]
|flora13desc =  
|flora14desc = 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.

*Allú'tornë thrive in humid environments, and have spread across the west and south of Aloria, capable of reaching great heights and dominating the terrain around their trunks.
*Allú'tornë grow in the wilds of a number of continents, though their greatest concentration is in the lands of Altaleï especially after the Wildering caused many deep growths to explode across the land.
*Allú'tornë are populous across Aloria, though certain areas are steadily being striped of them by resource gathering operations, largely at the hands of the Regalian Empire.

|flora15desc =  
|flora16desc = *Royal Oaks are Medium to Large trees known for their reliable wood. They are common to Corontium, but have been spread to other areas through trade.
*Royal Oaks thrive in temperate environments, but are capable of withstanding seasonal temperature shifts quite well.
*Royal Oaks were initially isolated to a small area of Corontium, but with the rise of the Regalian Empire, exploded across the landmass and beyond. They grow in the wild but are subject to considerable logging efforts.
*Royal Oaks are highly populous in Aloria.

|flora17     = Dragonet Appletree
|flora16desc =  
|flora17desc = *Dragonet Appletrees are Medium plants known for their tart orange-toned apples, as well as world renown ciders crafted from said apples.
*Dragonet Appletrees emerged in Anglia sometime before the Cataclysm, and fare best in cold-to-temperate regions. Some claim the harshness of winter gives the apples their tart nature.
*Dragonet Appletree orchards were initially monopolized by a single family, but a family feud allowed others to grow the plant, and it is now known in various parts of Aloria, though its largest populations remain in Corontium.
*The Dragonet Appletree is an uncommon plant in Aloria, exported to other areas, but favored by the Ailor and only found in certain areas.


|flora17     =  
|flora18     = Ina-asa Tree
|flora17desc =  
|flora18desc = *Ina-asa Trees are Large plants important to the Balantagi Sihai.
*Ina-asa Trees grow vertically, and feature sandy-brown bark with verdant green leaves and small white blossoms. They grow across the southern islands of Jadeheart.
*Ina-asa Trees are held as cultural symbols tied with the Dragons of Sihai faith, similar to the Loongliu though most respected among the Balantagi Sihai. While their flowers are harvested to make rare incenses, the trees are not engaged with in any further fashion save for reverence and serving as the focal points in communal activities.
*Ina-asa Trees are rare, few in number but greatly respected by those who tend to them.
 
|flora19    = Håndtre
|flora19desc = *Håndtres are rare, Medium plants with connections to the Old Gods faith. They give sweet, five-knobbed orange fruits that give the tree their name.
*Håndtres are found scattered across Aloria, in sites of former and current Old Gods worship, as well as the ancient trade network of the Proto-Velheim. They are most found in Southwynd and Eastwynd, as cold northern climates are deleterious to their survival.
*Håndtres are considered symbols of fertility and love, with their fruits commonly prepared into sweet treats of the faith, and the small orange blossoms processed into perfumes and oils.
*Håndtres are rare, scattered, and in some areas, dropped in number as overzealous Unionists chop the trees down, or allow them to die, without any care or attention.

|flora2      = [[Angle Berrybush]]
|flora2      = [[Falconet's Bush]]
|flora2desc  = 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.
|flora2desc  = 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.


|flora3      = [[Cloudberry]]
|flora3      = [[Ogrebait]]
|flora3desc  = 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]].
|flora3desc  = Ogrebait is a flowering shrub native to the frigid expanse of [[Ellador’s]] coasts, though has been known to grow in other cold climates as well. Rumored to have first been discovered by the [[Drovv]] of [[Drowda]], its fruit has been enjoyed since the ancient [[Allorn Empire]] for its decadent flavor and medicinal applications. Its modern claim-to-fame is thanks to the [[Velheim]] of southern Ellador, who utilized the seeds of its fruit to develop potent tranquilizers for aggressive [[Ogre]] Truggs threatening their settlements. Foreign profiteers took notice of these properties, and have since refined the process of boiling Ogrebait’s seeds into a special tonic sold as a minor sleeping aid and muscle relaxant.


|flora4      = [[Falconet's Bush]]
|flora4      = [[Witch’s Fingers]]
|flora4desc  = 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.
|flora4desc  = Witch’s Fingers is a strange plant first native to [[Ceardia]], which has since spread with the [[Ailor]] population. It has no uses, but plenty of mythology and folklore surrounding it, primarily being the actual remains of witches and an indication of where one is buried. They are known for their various unique physical features that allow for these beliefs, as well as berries which are considered inedible to everything but the animals of nature.


|flora5      = [[Talea Foil]]
|flora5      = [[Shurbakal]]
|flora5desc  = 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.
|flora5desc  = 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 [[Eronidas]]. 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 Eronidas 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.


|flora6      = [[Ogrebait]]
|flora6      = [[Saharfaki]]
|flora6desc  = Ogrebait is a large, leafy shrub native to the lowlands of [[Tribelands of High Trollar|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.
|flora6desc  = Saharfaki is a unique plant with a variety of uses from [[Farah’deen]], long considered a gift from nature, whether that was referring to desert gods and incomprehensible powers, or in a more metaphorical sense. The plant only produces three fruits once a year but can be harvested before then for use in alchemy or further use in culinary endeavors. With a generally unappealing coloration, it appears dead, but the plant’s unique ability to expand and contract as needed makes it very effective in surviving the arid landscape of Farah’deen.


|flora7     = [[Witch’s Fingers]]
|flora7    = [[Iam Iret]]
|flora7desc  = Witch’s Fingers is a strange plant first native to [[Ceardia]], which has since spread with the [[Ailor]] population. It has no uses, but plenty of mythology and folklore surrounding it, primarily being the actual remains of witches and an indication of where one is buried. They are known for their various unique physical features that allow for these beliefs, as well as berries which are considered inedible to everything but the animals of nature.
|flora7desc = The Iam Iret, or Eyes of Baskarr are a floral shrub unique to the [[Ashal Islands]] that earned its moniker through its flowering buds. While it was originally thought to be nothing more than a decorative shrub, its recent rediscovery by the [[Asha]] has led to its frequent use as a tea. This plant is still commonly seen throughout the terraces of the [[Asha States]], and in the hidden oases of the desert. It has most commonly made an impression upon travelers who find themselves in the hospitality of the Asha and remains an almost iconic beverage of the Asha homeland.
 
|flora8      = [[Shurbakal]]

|flora10    = [[Popberry]]
|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 [[Asha]] culture, and as such holds great relevance to the present-day Asha 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.
 
|flora12     = [[Iam Iret]]

|flora2      = [[Black Grass]]
|flora2      = [[Corpse Weed]]
|flora2desc  = Black Grass is a lesser danger of the Ularen Plains, 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 Plains, 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.
|flora2desc  = 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.


|flora3      = [[Corpse Weed]]
|flora3      = [[Empairina]]
|flora3desc  = 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]].

Corpse Weed is most commonly consumed by [[Maiar]] as they are the only race that can ingest the plant raw.
|flora3desc  = Empairina is a strange fern known for its unique physical structure which many attribute to the [[Fifth Void Invasion]] that took place 300 years ago. However, this plant is far older, perhaps dating back to the [[Meraic Civilization]], and always looked as it does now. Disliked as a source of food, it instead has great symbolic value for its ability to recoil in the face of extradimensional [[Essence]].  


|flora4      = [[Empairina]]
|flora4      = [[Fireweed]]
|flora4desc  = 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.
|flora4desc  = 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.


|flora5      = [[Fireweed]]
|flora5      = [[Djew Sheney]]
|flora5desc  = 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.
|flora5desc  = 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.


|flora9     = [[Tangleweed]]
|flora6     = [[Puraanabee]]
|flora9desc = Tangleweed is one of the most common plants in all of [[Aloria]]. Made of dense grass blades clumped together, the plant has been known and largely seen as an irritant to lawn and fieldcare for generations. Its near ubiquity across the centuries has also meant it had played no major role in the world beyond being annoying.  
|flora6desc = 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.


|flora10     = [[Anglian Wheat]]
|flora7     = [[Maize]]
|flora10desc = 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.  
|flora7desc = Maize is a grain crop staple for over two millennia and a long-standing feature of [[Daen]] cuisine. The plant was initially isolated with a single, now [[Extinct Race]], known as the [[Ochil]], but both their early contact with the [[Altalar]] and later enslavement resulted in Maize’s position today. It has several varieties, and some are rarer than the core, yellow-kernelled variety that is consumed by thousands every day.


|flora11     = [[Dorinn Rye]]
|flora8     = [[Sieth'lusia Seagrass]]
|flora11desc = 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]].  
|flora8desc = 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]].


|flora12      = [[Fletcher’s Wheat]]
|flora9    = Rice
|flora12desc  = 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.
|flora9desc = *Rice is a Small plant considered the staple of the Sihai diet, but it has spread to many more regions and been adapted for local uses.
*Rice survives in semi-aquatic environments and have a wide range of appearances, the best known being Farah Rice from Farahdeen, Western Rice from northern Sileria, and Eastern or Sihai Rice from Jadeheart, the base from which all others sprung
*Rice grows both in tending soil, commonly being cultivated in flooded paddies, and in the wild, around areas like swamps or along river shores.
*Rice is a common plant in Aloria, and can be easily acquired in any market with some searching.


|flora13      = [[Djew Sheney]]
|flora10    = Wheat
|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 [[Dewemenet 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.
|flora10desc = *Wheat is a Small to Medium versatile, dynamic and long-cultivated grass of Aloria, whose origins date back millennia.
*Wheat best thrives in temperate surroundings, but has adapted to many areas of Aloria, with notable varieties like Fletcher’s Wheat from Southwynd and Oldtera, Anglian Wheat from Corontium, and Speltan Wheat, of uncertain providence, filling silos and ships across the world.
*Wheat is heavily cultivated, actively kept contained and harvested within vast fields of grain. Some wild samples can exist, but they are rare, largely replaced by the domesticated strains.
*Wheat is extremely populous across Aloria.
 
|flora11    = Dharamotee
|flora11desc = *Dharamotee is a Medium ancient grain, first cultivated by the Suvial who then spread it to the rest of Aloria through trade where it has become a somewhat populous grain, though less than other better known staples like Wheat.
*Dharamotee has great visual diversity and climate conditions, with notable strains of the plant being the Common Strain of Westwynd, the Sundial Strain of Sileria, and the Sorga Strain of Westwynd.
*Similar to other major grains, Dharamotee has been heavily cultivated in a domesticated setting, fields of the plant kept and carefully tended, especially in the lands of the Suvial.
*Dharamotee is populous in Aloria, but is often a secondary grain to others beyond the Suvial.

|flora3desc  = A root that might have gone unnoticed by any other [[Culture]], the ancient [[Velheim]] took Modra Root and implemented it in one of their most well-known forms of cultural expression: tattoos. Modra Root continues to be primarily used in the creation of Velheim tattoo inks, its blue hue watered down, mixed with other pigments, or maintained to decorate a person’s body with their life story or for aesthetic pleasure. The plant is also used in alchemical concoctions that can warm the skin and body, though this secondary use is less publicly known.
 
|flora4      = [[Modrá’s Root]]
|flora4desc  = 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.
 
|flora5      = [[Shadow Weed]]
|flora5desc  = 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.
 
|flora6      = [[Wormfern]]
|flora6desc  = 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.
 
|flora7    = [[Iceleaf]]
|flora7desc = Iceleaf has a mysterious origin, but is well known as a strange, cold plant that actually shuns the cold. Instead, it can be found both on farms but also in the wild in a variety of humid and temperate regions across [[Daen]], [[Corontium]], and [[Essalonia]]. It is also well known for its similar appearance to [[Mint]], though it is often much larger with a different color scheme.
 
|flora8    = [[Stoor Root]]
|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]]
|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.
 
|flora10      = [[Mint]]
|flora10desc  = 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.
 
|flora11    = [[Tabacca Leaf]]
|flora11desc = Tabacca Leaf is a unique plant, as despite being originally used by the [[Elves]], the [[Ailor]] have heavily adopted its use, to the point of overreliance within some. 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]] and [[Jendaskea]] Ailor heavily protecting one of their major sources of regional income as since 200 AC, the plant has only gained popularity.

|flora17    =  
|flora4      = [[Shadow Weed]]
|flora17desc =  
|flora4desc  = The Shadow Weed was once a plant used to represent the [[Drovv]], and later a symbol of [[Altalar]] dominance over that distant [[Race]] when the [[Allorn Empire]] grew it in their gardens. Over centuries it was abandoned, becoming little more than a weed until the extreme magical energies of the [[Fifth Void Invasion]] altered it. It is now an agricultural crop of both the [[Kathar]] and the [[Sihndar]] and exists in two different, but not dissimilar, environments where it serves medicinal and culinary roles in those two different societies.


|flora18     =  
|flora5     = [[Stoor Root]]
|flora18desc =  
|flora5desc = 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]].


|flora19     =  
|flora6     = [[Tabacca Leaf]]
|flora19desc =  
|flora6desc = Tabacca Leaf is a unique plant, as despite being originally used by the [[Elves]], the [[Ailor]] have heavily adopted its use, to the point of overreliance within some. 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.


|flora20     =  
|flora7     = [[Nettlestalk]]
|flora20desc =  
|flora7desc = 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.

|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.


|flora2      = [[Roughvine]]
|flora2      = [[Roughvine]]
|flora2desc  = 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.
|flora2desc  = Roughvine is a substance that has been known to those residents of [[Farah’deen]] for untold centuries. Existing along the coastline, it grows above the waves and clings to the walls of the many coastal cities that dot the region, being a particular problem for pearl cities whose pure white beauty is marred by these fast-growing vines every few months. The plants have little purpose, though a medical role as a muscle relaxant is highly prized by those who seek it out. While recent conflicts in the area have greatly damaged the populations of the plants in Farah’deen, it is likely that this will not last long, and the Roughvines will recover quickly.


|flora3      = [[Stranglers]]
|flora3      = [[Strangler]]
|flora3desc  = 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.
|flora3desc  = An insidious plant populating the jungles of [[Daen]], [[The Far West]], and [[Fendarfelle]], Stranglers are carnivorous plants that lure their prey like the [[Fly Orchid]] rather than hunt it in the manner of the [[Reaper]]. However, Stranglers do not just hunt insects but also small birds, reptiles, and mammals, granting them a grim reputation despite their relative harmlessness to the different [[Races]] of [[Aloria]]. This negative reputation began with the [[Altalar]] and has carried into today, largely thanks to the animal-friendly [[Cielothar]].


|flora4      = [[Poison Ivy]]
|flora4      = [[Rundre Ash Vine]]
|flora4desc  = 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.
|flora4desc  = Rundre Ash Vines are unique plants which heavily alter their appearance between the seasons. In fall and winter, their dark green leaves and stem blending into the rocky volcanic faces and dense jungle brush around these volcanoes that they dwell in, while in summer these colors are joined by bright red, small flowers. However, all throughout the spring, the plant is a brilliant scarlet red, appearing almost like small lava flows and is lightly bioluminescent, thus dully lighting up the night with red illumination.


|flora5     = [[Rundre Ash Vine]]

However, all throughout the spring, the plant is a brilliant scarlet red, appearing almost like small lava flows and is lightly bioluminescent, thus dully lighting up the night with red illumination.
|flora5desc = The Shen Itja, or Deceiver Vine can be found around the [[Ashal Isles]], and at first glance, it seems to be no more than an innocuous growth that has withered and died on the trees scattered across the desert. However, those who know the true nature of the vine tend to steer clear of the foliage in question and choose to only to focus on the vine. It has maintained its usefulness for travelers and explorers seeking a replacement for rope in a tight pinch, with the vine being much sturdier than it seems to the untrained eye.

|flora1      = [[Brightmoss]]
|flora1      = [[Brightmoss]]
|flora1desc  = 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 [[School of Alchemy|alchemists]] and can be found sparingly in specialized botanical gardens across Aloria.
|flora1desc  = Brightmoss is a dense-growth type of moss that was once confined to [[Ellador]] alone, its glowing light leading the way for many [[Dwarves]] through hazardous and natural areas of their deep underground mines. Following the arrival of the [[Dakkar]], Brightmoss was severely damaged in its sole natural habitat, but then spread in the diaspora of the Dwarven [[Race]] across [[Aloria]]. The substance, whose light is still valued, has since rebounded and now grows in several areas across the world and recovers back in Ellador.


|flora2      = [[Dirtmoss]]
|flora2      = [[Duijnnemose]]
|flora2desc  = Dirtmoss is an extremely common species of moss well known among the cruder [[Cultures]] and peoples of [[Aloria]] for its variety of uses to those lacking the sophisticated materials and supplies of others. It most often grows in forests in temperate regions like [[Essalonia]], but cool, coastal forests in areas of [[The North Belt]] and beyond also allow it to grow well. It has been decreasing in some areas due to logging, but its vast spread means that many foresters, hikers, and more will continue seeing this plant for centuries to follow this one.
|flora2desc  = Duijnnemose is a special moss that has a unique growth rate that helps create a near perfect semicircle or semioval of plant matter in sequence along the surface it is rooted to. The substance originated in [[Anglia]], but has since spread to various parts of [[Aloria]], and with the birth of [[Regal Culture]], now serves a unique purpose as a tool of Regal gardeners. Through the careful manipulation of the plant, muscled renditions of the male form can be born, conforming to the artist tenants of Regal Culture.


|flora3      = [[Duijnnemose]]
|flora3      = [[Skymoss]]
|flora3desc  = Duijnnemose is a special moss that has a unique growth rate that helps create a near perfect semicircle or semioval of plant matter in sequence along the surface it is rooted to. 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.
|flora3desc  = 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]].


|flora4     = [[Skymoss]]

|flora4desc = In the lush gardens of the reclaimed [[Dewamenet]] cities, underneath the rolling white waterfalls lies the faint green growth of Mew Hesep. The moss itself has been harvested rather consistently throughout its existence for its cleansing properties, allowing the [[Asha]] to consistently keep their [[Living Metal]] in pristine condition and appearance. It has been sought after by many metalsmiths and swordsmen alike seeking to remove the imperfections of their works and weapons.
 
|flora5      = [[Gassa-Moss]]
|flora5desc  = Gassa-Moss is a forest-green parasitic moss that feasts on mineral deposits and is extremely hardy. Originating in the fiery pits of [[Gana-Eeshtar]], Gassa-Moss has found unique purpose in [[Aloria]] alongside its [[Dakkar]] caretakers. Often called the “Cavedigger’s Woe,” Gassa-Moss naturally and rapidly consumes nearly any mineral or stone it comes across. This invasive plant is relatively new to the world and its potential benefits for technology are constantly being researched. In particular, [[Dwarves|Dwarven]] researchers are beginning to unfurl ancient research that might indicate Gassa-Moss’ potential for being an excellent source of fuel, alongside coal and steam. The only thing prohibiting further development of Gassa-Moss driven sciences are the Dakkar; the mineral-absorbing moss is their only digestible food source. In modern times, Gassa-Moss is the exclusive food item for all Dakkar, renowned for bestowing them with their great stone hide, but its unique potential as a fuel source is pushing other races to encroach on Dakkar territory and take it for themselves.

|flora1      = [[Teudou]]
|flora1desc  = 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.
|flora1desc  = 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.

|flora3      = [[Farran Cane]]
|flora3desc  = Farran Cane is a species of [[Reed]] that exists in the Ularen Plains, which are the vast plains, steppes and hilled terrain that dominates the central regions of central and southern [[Daen]]. The [[Cielothar]] are the most renowned users on the plant, weaving baskets from the materials it offers, which are commonly traded to the [[Avanthar]] and occasionally outsiders. The plant also has other uses, but these are more sporadic and varied depending on the region.
 
|flora4      = [[Rundona]]
|flora4desc  = Rundona is a species of cane that grows across [[Aloria]] in swamps, marshes, riverlands, and more that was used by many early societies and [[Cultures]] in a variety of capacities. This tall plant today is used far more sparingly than it once was, save for those “cruder” Cultures and [[Races]] scattered throughout Aloria, in addition to the rural regions of those societies who are sophisticated. However, the plant knows one major use in the civilized world, and that is in the creation of instruments.
 
|flora5      = [[Seba Iaat]]
|flora5desc  = Across the coasts of the [[Ashal Islands]] lies vast swathes of the Seba Iaat, thin stalks always seem to point toward the rising sun in the east. Often seen as one of the few means of respite from bites of the [[Torat-Nekh]], it serves as an irritation reliever and can severely lessen the pain from the Torat-Nekh bites specifically. While this remedy was lost to time after the fall of the [[Dawamenet Empire]], the return of the [[Asha]] to the Ashal Islands changed these circumstances. With the opening of the Fair-Ports, the Asha who have chosen to engage in a capitalistic lifestyle, have been known to extort quite a fee for this remedy from foolhardy travelers who let their curiosity get the better of them.

|flora5desc = While the [[Asha]] aren’t known for their written history, the Kaihereret has served as a way for them to create several exotic handicrafts. Among all the plants within Asha territories, the reeds are the tallest that can stand even taller than some houses. It is one of the well-known plants that are softly tied to the culture of the Asha. While the paper that is commonly used for writing is known to come from trees, outsiders to the Asha acknowledge the Race’s heavy use of Kaihereret paper. Presently, the Asha continue to grow and sell produce made from the reeds to those who enjoy what can be made out of it.

It has persisted since the time of the [[Sariyd Empire]], and is largely depicted as a symbol of survival in the harsh elements. It has become greatly appreciated among the [[Songaskia]] of today, used to decorate many of their public spaces not just within the [[Songaskian Masaya]], but in enclaves of the [[Race]] across [[Aloria]].

|flora2desc  = 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.
|flora2desc  = The Honey Ball is a rare fungus native to [[Drowda]], [[Ellador]], and [[Fendarfelle]] with ancient ties back to the [[Drovv]] [[Race]] of old who valued it as a sweet treat. Following their fall, the [[Sihndar]] were the first to enjoy the curious substance again, soon followed by the [[Isldar]], [[Dwarves]], and [[Ailor]] of the north. Due to its rarity, it has become a delicacy prized by many merchants and often sees its sweet blue “honey” reserved for the upper classes of many decadent societies.

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.
