Notes
Grown on the terraced slopes of Clearhold and central to a city where it matters more than Alkra does. Exported through the Ancestor’s Channel and the Sunrise Passage at premium prices, and serving it in a Shining Reach salon is a mark of sophistication. Native to the mountain. The wild leaf is harsher and is still gathered by those who prefer it.
Native to Teraell, and hard in the way native plants are — the tissue lays down mineral as it grows, so the leaf is stiff and faintly glassy and a blade dulls on it.
