Rainberry Bush

Developed by Vega

Short Description ~ Sweet rainbow-coloured berries which grow on bushes nestled under large trees, each colour of berry has a different flavour and provide refreshment and a burst of energy!
Found ~ Anywhere where large trees grow on Scalvoris.
Toxicity/Hazard ~ None.
Appearance The Rainberry bush is a dark-leafed bush which has, nestled under the leaves, small berries in a rainbow of colours.
Properties
Diverse Flavours ~ each colour of Rainberry is a distinct flavour which corresponds with a known flavour, but seems to be a stronger version of it. The yellow is lemon (but sharper than actual lemon), the green is lime (more sour), and so on. Each one corresponds to a fruit but with a stronger sensation of taste.
Very filling! ~ Rainberries are very nutritious and refreshing. Dried rainberries make excellent field rations, fresh rainberries provide both nourishment and hydration, and jams, cakes, desserts or preserves made with them are very healthy.
Energy food ~ Eating a handful of rainberries provides you with a burst of energy which can help stave off sleep for a few hours if needed.

Rarity Rare
How To Use Eat them, preserve them, dry them.
Side Effects None, though it should be noted that eating a handful on rainberries gives a burst of energy, eating two handfuls doesn't give more than that.
Status ~ Legal
Price ~ Tier 7 - cost 1wp for a basket of them.

Mosaicactus

Developed by Woe

Short Description ~ A cactus whose color and fruit flavor depends upon the sand it's grown from. Specially growing from the multi-colored sands of Scalvoris, across its beaches, the mosaicactus takes on the properties of these sands, sucking them up and containing their essence into the fruit.
Forums Found ~ Beaches of Scalvoris, or anywhere there is Scalvoris Sand.
Toxicity/Hazard ~ Only the effects the sands confer onto the fruit/flower of the Mosaicactus. For instance, a mosaicactus grown from Black Sand, may blind someone!
Appearance Different colors based on the sand its grown in. The flesh of the Mosaicactus itself takes on a complimentary color to that which it's grown in. Black Sands grow white fleshed cactus with black flowers. Blue sands grow orange fleshed cactus with blue flowers and fruit. Etc..
RPG Properties
Property 1 ~ The Flower, fruit, and nectar of the flower confers the effects of the sands it's grown from. Blue sand mosaicactus raises vocal quality and volume of sound. Green sand will tend to cool down those affected by them. Copper sands (should one gather enough of the rare sand to create a planting medium) would improve the flavor of anything.
Property 2 ~ The juice from the fruit acts as a potent dye of the color sand its grown from, and can color the tongue of the eater of the fruit whatever color it was.

Rarity Common
How To Use As fruit, an alchemical reagent, or as a source of rich dyes.
Side Effects Depends on the sands its grown from.
Status ~ Legal
Price ~ Tier 6
Notes What exact effect the mosaicactus distills from the sands its grown from should be left somewhat up to story. But never deviates from effects that the sands themselves may confer.

Keeper Kelp

Developed by Oram Mednix

Short Description ~ a broad-leafed seaweed that can be used to chill and preserve food.
Forums Found ~ Scalvoris and Surrounding Waters. It grows just offshore in roughly the same regions where green sand is found.
Toxicity/Hazard Keeper kelp is not toxic; however, it is unwholesome, and eating large quantities of it quickly, in addition to being unappetizing, can potentially cause “brain freeze”.
AppearanceLong emerald fronds with broad, prominently-veined leaves. Keeper kelp grows in loose beds near the floor of shallow coastal areas.
RPG Properties
Property 1 Cooling effect. Leaves are noticeably cooler than surrounding environment. Fish and other cold-blooded creatures grazing on keeper kelp become sluggish, making them easier to catch.
Property 2 Even more cooling effect. When the leaves are crushed or pounded, the cooling effect intensifies, reducing their surface temperature to near-freezing. This makes crushed keeper
kelp leaf wrappings useful for naturally refrigerating fish with minimal added weight. Crushed leaves lose their effectiveness after a couple breaks, and need to be replaced regularly if the fish are to be kept longer.
Uncrushed leaves usually last two to three trials after harvesting before reaching the “use or lose” point.

Rarity Uncommon off shores where green sands are found. Extremely rare elsewhere.
How To Use Pluck leaves from fronds, and crush or smash them when ready to use.
Side Effects Brain freeze if chewed.
Status ~ Legal.
Price WT 6. Is not currently harvested in bulk, and can only be stored for a few trials, so purchasing more than 1 WP at a time (if out of tier) makes no sense.
Notes Not well studied yet.
