Redgold's Feathers - Plants of Hot Springs Island
Happy 100th post!We've created approximately 50 plants that are unique to the Swordfish Islands, twenty-five of which can be found on Hot Springs Island. Assuming I've figured out Blogger's post schedule setting correctly, for the next 25 days we'll be posting a plant's description and black and white sketch.
First up: Redgold's Feathers
Redgold's Feathers
grow as small, tight clusters of burnished, coppery colored, feather shaped
fronds near areas of thermal activity. The plant is impervious to heat, and
some claim to have even seen it undergo instantaneous growth when exposed to
direct flame. If the leaves of this plant are broken or crushed they give off
an acerbic odor potent enough to wake a person from unconsciousness (even
magical) or immediately recover from being dazed or disoriented. If the
feathers are crushed and combined with sulphur and the essence of a naturally
fiery creature, an alchemist can create a non-toxic mixture that will glow a
bright orange for 36-48 hours (even after being consumed and digested).
