L24.251 Petalmeat

-

Ranked the seventh among the Fifteen Culinary Bestowments, Petalmeat is made of the plump petalled Purple Periwinkle fermented in a particular tincture of the Five Foundational Wines. It is exceedingly hard to prepare as the amount of wine used to ferment the purple periwinkle varies depending on the season and the location where it is made.

Apart from its wondrously savory-sweet taste and deliciously firm texture, it is said that consuming Petalmeat bestows great amounts of luck - as such it is often served in banquets, especially after victories in war or battle - where luck is said to have been thoroughly consumed owing to the survival of the victors.

It is customary for petalmeat banquets to immediately follow after a successful siege - as each fort is likely to have a hidden stash of petalmeat.

However, it due to its fermented nature, it is highly intoxicating, and may cause very deep inebriation to the dismay of many strategists who aim to consolidate their victories with a few more days of vigilance.

These master riders seek larger prey from hunting Mudtoads at the lower strata of the Stalks.

As the disease advances, the marks become more detailed, until the point actual Brightflowers actually bloom upon the skin of the infected. At this point the flowers release an infectious pollen which spreads by air to infect others.

D24.185 Prison of the Lothgem

-
Lothgem, a hideous uncut spinel the size of a fist levitating above a tarnished silver pedestal, surrounded by walls made of mosaics of precious jewels depicting praying Dwarven monks.  It is dull to the point it darkens the light about it. When held, it repels all manner of jewels, crystals and precious stones, and may even repel magical precious stones when on a 1 of a 1d6 roll.  The Lothgem is sentient but reticent, and utterly despises all creatures who wear any sort of precious jewelry, and may forcefully repel such creatures adornments depending on its whims. Conversely, it likes the company of tarnished, rusty or scratched stones and may decide to accompany those adorned by them.
