The flora of Elanthia is not only beautiful, but it can also provide
an abundant supply of healing herbs. Occasionally, the lucky or
talented adventurer may stumble across one of the following herbs
out in the wilds, and if not, they are often available for purchase.
Wehnimer's
Landing, River's Rest & Solhaven:

|
Acantha Leaf |
Acantha is one of several herbs in a group
which will heal mild concussion damage
when eaten (the leaves are the most beneficial). It can
be found in a wide range of climates -- from near desert
conditions to moist ocean beaches. |
|
Aloeas Stem |
The Aloeas tree, although rare, is famed for its amazing
ability to heal serious and critical
head and neck wounds. This is a small tree which tends
to grow in colder, wet areas, such as along riverbanks.
The medicinal properties are best found in the stems of
its leaves. |
|
Ambrominas Leaf |
Ambrominas
bushes have leaves which are known to speed the healing
of minor limb wounds. Foragers may
identify this common bush by its dark green oval leaves,
and are behooved to search for it in grasslands and hilly
areas. |
|
Basal Moss |
Basal moss is not uncommon, but an important component
of a empath's herb inventory. Growing primarily in temperate
climates, on the bark of deciduous trees, this moss will
provide immediate healing of minor internal
and external organ damage. |
|
Calamia Fruit |
Calamia fruit, famed for its ability to repair serious
limb scars, tends to grow in very warm, moist climates.
This large fruit may be identified easily by its light
red, almost pink color. Most efficacious in its dried
form, the fresh fruit can also provide some benefit. |
|
Cothinar Flower |
Cothinar flowers are usually found in colder barren
areas as they thrive in the winter and do not like having
competition for their nutrients. Not as easily found as
Acantha, they are still eagerly sought since they are
quite a bit more potent in healing concussion
damage. |
|
Cactacae |
Cactacae cactus grows in desert-like conditions, and
should be sought for its sharp spines. These long brown
thorns, when harvested carefully and then chewed, can
heal minor scarring and defects on limbs. |
|
Cuctucae Berries |
Cuctucae berries are able to heal concussion
damage, much as the leaves of the Acantha tree, but
are somewhat less potent. The bushes can be found growing
wild in higher elevations, and seem to thrive in cooler
climates. |
|
Ephlox Moss |
Ephlox moss, a rare fungus with potent healing abilities
when used on serious and critical limb
wounds, does best in a cold wet environment with ample
sunlight to grow. It should be sought along stream banks
or growing on tree bark. |
|
Strigae Cactus |
The flesh of the Strigae cactus is beneficial in helping
to recover from mild concussion damage,
however extreme caution must be exercised while harvesting
this plant, lest the damage incurred while gathering it
outweigh any possible benefit. The small cacti grow abundantly
in desert conditions. |
|
Haphip Root |
The Haphip tree, which typically grows in hot, humid
conditions and requires large amounts of moisture, should
be sought for a small portion of its root system, which
can heal and remove scar tissue around
the face, head and neck. Be careful to only harvest
a small amount of the root, lest the rare tree be killed. |
|
Marallis Berries |
The Marallis plant produces berries which can help one
recover from light concussion damage.
The plants are most commonly found in colder hills and
mountains. |
|
Pothinir Grass |
Pothinir grass, a must for any emergency kit, is indispensable
for its ability to heal serious internal
and external injuries to the eyes and torso, and perhaps
just as well known for its terrible taste. Although extremely
difficult to find, it is however well worth the effort.
The best places to look for it are hot, humid areas which
get large amounts of sunlight. |
|
Sovyn Clove |
The small dried flowers (also known as cloves) of the
Sovyn bush have the miraculous ability to cause the regeneration
of an entire limb! These flowers need to have been
dried by the sun in order to have their restorative powers;
therefore, the time at which this herb is picked is crucial. |
|
Spearmint |
The leaves of the Spearmint plant, though occasionally
bitter, provide benefit to your socialization skills when
consumed. Spearmint is fairly common in temperate grassy
fields, and occasionally grows wild near cultivated areas. |
|
Torban Leaf |
The leaves of the Torban tree have been proven an effective
treatment for certain minor nervous
system scars and defects such as slurred speech. Found
only in mild climates, the tree is not difficult to find,
but special care must be exercised to harvest the leaves
in the proper stage of growth, as they are otherwise useless
except for tea-making. |
|
Wolifrew Lichen |
Wolifrew lichen, a fungus known for its ability to cure
minor nervous system disorders,
grows in cold, dark areas. While sometimes this includes
secluded outdoor areas, the lichen is much more likely
to be found inside a cold, wet cave. Its yellow-brown
color makes it distinguishable from other fungi. |
|
Yabathilium Fruit |
Yabathilium, an uncommon tree which grows on beaches
and saltwater coastlines, produces a small greenish fruit
which, though extremely bitter, has amazing concussion
restoration powers. |
|
Woth Flower |
Woth, an exceedingly rare and beautiful flower which
heals serious nervous system scars
when eaten, grows most often in hot, humid, dark climates,
such as a rain forest. These flowers, when in full bloom,
have a blue throat surrounded by ruffled violet petals. |

|

Pinefar:
Further north in the frozen tundra, where the Pinefar
Trading Post is located, the elven herbalist, Celk Fyretryst,
can be found. Celk can be observed blending his healing
powders in a large mortar before adding them to various
beakers of liquid, transforming them into teas and potions.
So remarkable are Celk's teas and potions that they even
heal the dead. |

Teras
Isle :
On Teras Isle the dwarves are rumored to drink nothing
but ale -- and so it is not surprising that they have
found a way to grind healing herbs and blend them with
hops and barley to produce a full range of healing ales.
In addition to the healing ales, those in need will also
find ales to remove disfiguring scars. Ales can be purchased
from Agarnil Kriss by the flagon or the barrel. Much like
the teas and potions of Celk Fyretryst, Agarnil Kriss'
ales will heal wounds on the dead. |
