Herbs & Application Gera Leaves --The plant appears as a slim stemmed, 2ft tall plant distinguished by its large bell-shaped flower. The flower itself is a dark red, almost marroon color with pale grey stripes, the stem is a dark green with the smooth leaves tapering to a much lighter green. ---The leaves should be chewed by the patient, 2-4 depending on severity, to reduce fever.
Ockur Root --The plant, more of a small shrub really, has a very short, fat stem that measures 4-6 inches in height. The leaves are wide, stiff and flat. The short, pale grey to white stem, is thorned so an herbalist should be careful when digging up the plant since the thorns are toxic. Though toxic, the poison is not deadly and only will make you very sick to your stomach for a day or two along with burning at the sight of the pricking. ---The plant's root should be dug up, the thorned half removed, and the unthorned portion washed until free of dirt. The clean root should then be chewed into a pulp and placed on an infected wound to clear out the infection.
Ervic --A sweet smelling fern with with small, star-shaped purple flowers. The plant can grow up to 2 1/2 ft tall at maturity. Mature plants also grow small, blue berries that drop off when they are ripe. At peak ripeness the berries turn a blue/purple mottled color. This mottled color distinguishes it from the deadly harth berries favored by assains as a quick killing method. ---Crush the leaves to release the juice of the plant that should then be applied to infected wounds to help cure the infection, though ockur root works better. The berries relieve bellyache when eaten.
Web Leaf --A large, creeping vine found growing most often along the sides of cliffs rather than other plants. The large, broad leaves often grow to almost seven inches wide. They are thick, sticky and very absorbent so that they may take up as much water as they can because the web leaf plant requires huge amounts of water to continue growing. ---Fresh leaves, up to 4 days old, work best because older leaves lose their stickiness. The sticky side of the plant should be applied to wounds to stop bleeding. The stickiness of the plant will keep the leaf attached for up to two days so long as the patient does no move around a lot or get the leaf wet.
Blackfoot --A flowering plant, a bit like a dandelion, with orange or black flowers. The dark grey leaves do not appear usually until after the seeds are set. The plant is typically between 10 - 30cm. ---The leaves should be chewed to a pulp and fed to patient to help with shortness of breath.
Frey Flower --Identifiable by its small leaves and large spiral petaled flowers, which can be pink, cream, white, pink, or purple. Has a white, turnip-like root. ---The small white roots of this plant can be chewed into a poultice to be put on broken bones to aid in the healing of the bone.
Harth Berries --Dark blue berries. The plant they grow from is very similair to the Ervic fern except that the Harth plant does not grow flowers. ---This berry can cause death in a matter of minutes when fed to a patient as a whole. Dripping some of the juice into a wound will cause death to be extended to a couple of hours or even days depending on the amount placed in the wound. The toxin in Ockur thorns is the only antidote known. Any healer (cleric, druid, ranger) can use this to speed up a patients death if they so wish it but please note, this action does have consequences in pure and nuetral aligned grex's.
Ferac --A small bush with flowers like daisies. The plant grows into a small bush up to around 18 inches high. ---Leaves should be fed to the patient to reduce fever and headache.
Denro Stem --A tall plant with bright yellow flowers. They have slender stems, and are usually hairless. They can grow to a length between 60 cm and 1.5 m. ---The stem should be chewed into a poultice and applied to wounds, especially deep wounds, to stave off infection and help the wound heal faster.
Dragon Tail --A tall, stiff plant with thorny stems that grows in marshy areas. --- The thorns are to be crushed and applied as a poultice to the patient's infected wound to cure infection.
Nipe Berries --A bush with spiky dark bluish leaves and green berries. ---Have the patient eat the berries to aid in relieving bellyache and to aid gryphons that have trouble breathing.
Avens --A tall stemmed plant with a large black flower similair to a sunflower. When dried one can shake the dried flower head to remove medium sized, grey seeds. --- Seeds, 2 for adults or 1 for kits, can be fed to a gryphon to relieve pain and help them sleep. Can also clam frayed nerves.
TayTay Leaf --A wide bush with long, wide, yellow roots, and spiky green leaves. ---Chew the stems and leaves and apply to a poultice to feed to the patient. Must be fed to patient in small doses. Used for curing coughs.
