Halvalondur

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.

At a Glance

An herb believed to “ensure” conception in women who are at the right point in their cycle. The blossoms are to be consumed raw, without any special preparation.

Many sages and elves are of the opinion that such claims are empty, wishful thinking… or deliberate attempts to deceive.

Halvalondur is a clover-like groundcover plant that’s found in Tethyr and points north, from the islands off the Sword Coast to as far east as Chessenta, but only in grasslands that see a lot of sunlight.

Glowmoss

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.

At a Glance

Once common, but now increasingly rare due to overharvesting, glowmoss absorbs heat and light energy, and glows softly in darkness. It can be deliberately “fed” with moisture, salt (so it does very well in areas that get a sea breeze), and light (any sort of bright radiance will do, so magical light works as well as sunlight or torches).

Glowmoss adheres readily to rock or earth, and the hue of its radiance is determined by the mix of minerals it’s sticking to. It has no natural predators, which has led to some insects laying their eggs in patches of glowmoss

Those who understand its needs can keep it thriving by exposing it to sunlight and water in the daylight hours and only bringing it inside at dusk. To avoid infestations of larvae, simply soak the moss in a bucket of water, agitate it by hand, and then hang it outside to drip-dry.

Tanglemoss

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.

At a Glance

A soft groundcovering moss which resembles tiny pine boughs but is delicate and sometimes mistaken for dill and other “lacy” herbs. It naturally twines around other plants, anchoring itself without choking them. It’s found in Tethyr and the Vilhon, and all temperate/wet places northward, with the exception of Amn, where it’s rare except in the mountainous areas.

It has no particular use, except that dried tanglemoss can be used as a packing or insulation material because it holds together for more than a season before completely disintegrating.

There is an old Moonsea North expression describing poverty as being “down to dining on tanglemoss soup.”

Sarsson

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.

At a Glance

Sarsson is mostly used to season meat; it has a strong, peppery, lemony taste. It can mask other tastes, even something like foul water.

It’s a small and low-growing plant, with short broad yellow leaves. It’s common in wet tropical jungles and marshes, and along riverbanks, but its use is not widely known.
