Thanot
A sturdy, bluish shrub that grows in rocky soil, it is hardy
to even high altitudes and in southern dry climates. The thanot
has long enjoyed its reputation to protect against enchantment.
It is still a practice in remote areas to place sprigs of
thanot over the main door of the house and also worn on the
person to ward off false enchantment -- the evil eye. The
shrub is small, seldom as much as forty feet tall, and usually
misshapen. Thanots produce vivid red berries, but possess
long, poisonous barbs that make gathering the fruit a hazard.
Examine a red thanot berry and you will discover that unlike
many other fruits that bear just a round hollow or dimple
opposite their stalks, it carries a tiny, five-pointed star,
or pentagram -- the ancient magical symbol of protection.

Viburnum
Potentially a quite large shrub or small tree, viburnum may
reach three times the height of a giantkin, and be several
feet wide at maturity. The leaves are smooth, bright green,
and arranged on green stems in opposite fashion. A healthy
plant gives the impression of being quite robust and dense.
Very mature specimens that have not been pruned will look
more open and tree-like. Tiny white flowers are held in great
panicles in spring, and are pleasingly fragrant. Berries are
drupes that turn from red to black and are attractive to birds.

Widowwood
Blue-black wood that can have a rose, purple, or crimson sheen to it depending on how
it is cut and polished, the widowwood is a rare shrub. Possessing a sturdy trunk,
its wood can be used for carving in small quantities. For example,
one might build a door out of pieces of widowwood, or one might make small carvings,
but one would never use it to build a house. The widowwood grows best in dim and dank
swamps and that ilk. Silver-backed, deep green leaves cluster in sets of five along
spindly branches. At the center of each leaf cluster, a tiny and lop-sided white
flower will bloom, which in turn yields a pale blue berry. These tiny flowers and
berries produce a beautiful scent, and this is where the widowwood gets its name.
Men over the ages have died while seeking the scent to add to perfumes or to test
for alchemical or healing properties, drowned in the quick bogs the shrub grows near,
never to be seen again. The widowwood has only recently been rediscovered in some
treacherous bogs past the Lake of Shadowed Sorrows, and small quantities have
filtered into the more populous areas of Elanthia.
