Butcher's Grass grows in broad sharp stalks often as tall as a man's hip. The edges of these sturdy blades of grass are a light green but the center of the grass stalk in a deep red growing more black in the center. Butcher's Grass grows native in the far East, in places like The Necrogarchy of Leng or the Ancient Kingdom of Petrurias. It is believed that seeds of this grass were carried in the rotted armor and rotten clothing of the undead army driven into the Kingdom of Daria by the Necromasters during the Nightshade War. Today Butcher's Grass can be found in scattered patches wherever the ground is soft and damp and where shade is abundant. Butcher's Grass does not grow in dry or sunny locations well.
Butcher's Grass is tough and resists cold and even the heat created by a natural fire. Harvested with a scythe it can have the sharp edges trimmed away and be woven into sturdy baskets or twisted to create fibers for making rope.
Butcher's Grass has a reputation for growing where a considerable amount of blood has been shed, usually through some violent deed. It is believed to commonly grow around gallows or in patches where battles have been fought.
Herb Lore - When boiled Butcher's Grass releases an agent which can add to the potency of salves and potions which heal wounds. Herbal wound salves and potions generally add 1 or 2 points to the rate of natural healing over the course of a full days rest with limited or no physical activity.

This is a spiny plant found in rocky soil usually in hills or rough terrain. Leaves of this plant grow in broad clusters at the bottom with dry stalks rising up topped with jagged and hard seed pods. The plant stores significant amounts of moisture in its thick leaves. Seed pods dry out and can be shaken to create an improvised rattle, although these are not typically given to small children as they are too prickly.
No part of the plant is poisonous but none of it has a particularly edible taste. The leaves can be crushed to give up a small amount of drinkable water. Three plants is sufficient to fill a half of an empty water skin with drinkable water.
Herb Lore - The seeds of this plant when ground into a powder is an active ingredient in the creation of an effective repellent against biting insects. Two active ingredients are usually required to make such a repellent.

This plant has broad leaves like a fern but covered in a light fuzz. The plant remains green most of the year until well into the winter when it becomes dormant and its leaves and stems die leaving only the roots intact to regrow the next spring. Bar Weed can be identified from other ferns because of the soft velvet feel of its leaves and the slightly purple sheen the leaves have when turned in the light. Bar Weed stalks are edible and have a satisfying crunch like celery. The roots of the plant are also edible and have a peanut flavor. Bar Weed roots are sometimes used in cooking. The leaves of the plant can be left in a jar of water out in sunlight for a day and they will turn the water into a potent tea with very nearly but not quite exactly the same flavor as a cheap American beer.
This tea can be left to sit for several days and it will ferment slightly becoming a weak alcoholic beverage popular among local farmers and small villages. In most places the drink created with Bar Weed is known as Weedle. The halflings in particular are fond of brewing up batches of the stuff as Bar Weed grows wild and can be found almost anywhere in the Shire. Family secret recipes are closely guarded and might include berries or potatoes or even bacon for flavor.
Most taverns in the Dragonsmarch keep at least a barrel of this poor man's ale handy. A tankard of Weedle sells for 5 copper coins on the average while a tankard of proper beer or ale will usually run a full silver coin. In the large halfling village of Kettlebee there are annual competitions which involve the baking of pies, stews, the brewing of all manner of drinks including recipes of Weedle.
Value: 1 Gathering = 5 plants = 1 silver piece. One gathering of Bar Weed is sufficient to brew five gallons of Weedle.
Bear Berry plants are thorny bushes which like to grow amidst other thorny plants, especially Tanglewood Trees or Tangle Thorn bushes. The berries these plants produce are large and bright purple. Varieties of the berry can grow as large as a plum. The berries are extremely tasty and the juice of the berry is prone to staining cloth or skin a deep violet color. The stains from Bear Berries can be difficult to remove. These berries are a favorite with the halfling residents of the shire although a popular saying recounts that "it would take a bear to get to the things" as they like to grow in such difficult to reach places.
Bear Berries can be boiled to produce a sticky paste used as a food additive or flavoring for certain mixtures which might otherwise be very difficult to get down. The sticky paste is also useful in the creation of medical pastes and poultices.
Value: 1 Gathering = 20 Berries = 1 silver piece.
The Bog Willow is a tree native to the swamps and marshes of the Dragonsmarch region. These trees can live up to three hundred years. They have wide short trunks and long expansive twisting limbs. The spread of limbs and dangling foliage can stretch out as far as seventy two feet surrounding the main trunk. The trunk of a Bog Willow grow as large as eight feet in diameter although the tree rarely grows higher than twenty five feet in height.
Bog Willows tend to push other trees out of their habitat. They will twist limbs together with other nearby Bog Willow trees creating links and great knots with the tree's limbs. Bog Willows grow up above the water of a swamp on tremendously strong and thick roots. Individual roots can be larger around than a man's body.
A number of creatures native to the swamps and marshes of The Dragonsmarch build homes right within the shelter of the tree's root system. These include kobalds, lizard men, troglodytes, orcs and in the Boglund area the Gupper halfling folk. Constructing a raised floor amidst the roots and building mud or clay walls to fill in the gaps between the root structures is a fairly simple process even the most primitive creatures can accomplish.
Bog Willow Bark + Cat Mint = Anti-Venom 1 Gathering = 1 pound of bark = 2 silver pieces. Anti-Venom provides a +2 bonus to saving throws versus poison for 10 minutes and a re-roll of a failed saving throw if administered within 10 minutes of becoming poisoned.

Single adults over the age of seventeen wear these flowers if they are interested in courting or merely to celebrate the holiday. Common places to wear the flowers are in coat pockets, in caps or woven into wreaths in the hair. Beggars Buttons are also used during Harvest Fest Eve to decorate baskets in villages which are filled with bread, perhaps a bit of roast chicken, a hunk of cheese and a bottle of watered wine. Blankets, a pipe and pipe weed, a few coins are also included by the wealthy under these baskets which are set outside for anyone in need to gather during the holiday. Those who pick up the baskets are supposed to say a prayer for the persons who put the baskets out.

The top of this mushroom will glow in a green luminescence which is clearly visible in dim light or the darkness of caverns. Bishops Caps like dark places with plentiful shade and loose soil. They can be found growing in the deep forest, under bridges, in the shade of tall stone walls and in caverns or underground places. Bishops Caps are only mildly poisonous causing digestive cramping and incapacitating the persons who eats one for 1d8 x 5 minutes.
It is not widely known that if you gather five Bishops Caps together (1 gathering = 5 caps) and crush them along the threshold of a portal such as a door or window that insubstantial entities such as ghosts or specters will not be able to cross that threshold for 1d6 turns. It takes one gathering of relatively fresh Bishops Caps (picked less than a week ago) to achieve this effect.

This bush prefers temperate climates where it is neither too wet or too cold. It is a plant cultivated in the East and used as a defensive border within the walls and gardens of nobles and merchants. The years of the Bitterfrost Spellblight all but wiped this foreign species out of existence in the Dragonsmarch. It was brought into the area and planted as a thorny hedge at the edge of Necromaster encampments during the years of the war. Apparently the plants managed to go to seed and as the weather has begun to warm back up it has begun to reappear here and there around the Dragonsmarch.
When planted the Dagger Thorn will grow at an almost visible speed filling a 10' x 10' square area in a twenty four hour period and then slowing its growth down to that more typical for a wild thorny bush. Clearing an area of Dagger Thorn is dangerous work. The large long curved thorns of this bush are, well, dagger like. The plant tends to twist and grow its branches together and hacking through one branch will cause 1d3 other thorns to pop loose, cutting through the air and stabbing the hapless gardener very nearly to death. Each thorn inflicts 1d3 damage. Any person hacking through Dagger Thorn must make a saving throw versus spell or be struck by 1d3 of the dagger like thorns, each inflicting 1d3 damage. The plant has an AC of 9 and has 1d8 hit points for each 10' x 10' area which must be cleared.
Pushing through the space occupied by the bush has the same result as trying to hack a path through one without the benefit of chopping down the plant. Dagger Thorn root can be crushed and boiled and combined with other herbs to create helpful potions.

This common plant grows just about anywhere. It prefers areas with average to plentiful sunlight to areas of shade or shadow. This plant produces round nuts about the size of a golf ball. The nuts contain a meat which is edible and is similar in texture to a walnut only sweeter. When discovered in the wilds this plant will be found in quantities of 1d4 bushels. Each bushel contains five plants. Each plant typically produces 1d4 Juggler's Nuts each month. These edible nuts must be eaten shortly after they are picked for they tend to become tasteless and mushy after only two days off of the plant. Juggler's Nuts make for a ready source of food when found on the trail. 5 of the nuts contain enough protein and vegetable fiber to be considered a meal.
1 Gathering = 4 Nuts = 1 Silver
The Jelly Sap is a tree of medium size for height but whose trunk and branches are thick and grow crooked and sprawling. In some areas of the world the Jelly Sap is known as the Old Man tree because its knotted trunk and branches give it the appearance of a wrinkled and perhaps wicked old man.
The bark of the Jelly Sap is dark gray with streaks of purple and it peels off in sheets like the bark of a birch tree. Pulling off a sheet of the bark causes boils of black purple sap to well up out of the wood of the tree. This sap is very stick and can be refined for a variety of purposes. It is edible if handled correctly with a not unpleasant licorice taste.
Jelly Saps do not like direct sunlight. They thrive in valleys and places where the sun is thinned out by the surrounding terrain, by close hills or in areas of deep forest.
The twisted long roots of the Jelly Sap cause the terrain surrounding them to be treated as difficult terrain as they are good at causing persons to trip over them in the dim light.
A Gathering = 1 Pint of Sap = 3 Gold
The Lord's Oak is a gigantic version of the more common types of Oak tree found scattered in the forests North of the Sea of Harlots and all over the land in those regions. These gigantic tall trees were once common place and they are often mentioned in one tale or another, most especially back during the age of heroes about five hundred years ago.
They are magnificently splendid trees, beautiful and strong and very, very long lived. The Treants which dwell deep within the Whistling Death Forest and in the better parts of Pictland prize these trees above all others and consider them to be a sort of nobility of their very own.
Builders have always prized these trees from the age of the Elves to the current era although the Elves took some pains to be careful in how they harvested from these giants and never actually cut one down, heavens no. Cutting down a Lord's Oak would have been unthinkable to the Elves when they dwelt in any sort of numbers in the forests. Men however are not so enlightened as the Elves and they have made horrible enemies of the Treants because of their lumbering of the Lord's Oak trees over the years. No other tree grows so straight and strong and tall and so the wood of such trees is highly prized for the keel of a great ship or one of its masts or for the central beam supporting the roof in the mead hall of an important chieftain.
Today Lord's Oak trees are hard to find anywhere outside of the deepest and darkest and most remote and dangerous parts of the forest or isolated in some mountain pass, far from the sight and desire of men.

Lizzy Listens are a common wild flower with bright gay colors, a favorite for gathering for putting on the dinner table or twisting into laurels to put in a lover's hair of a midsummer's eve. The plant blooms several times during the course of a year and it is very hardy, indeed it is very nearly impossible to get rid of once it has managed to get a foothold in a field. Farmers both appreciate the pretty flowers it brings and hate what a persistent weed it can be. Farmers in some areas have nicknamed the wild flower "Lizzy Blisters" because of the long hours required to carefully uproot every trace of the plant to get rid of it in a field of wheat or other valued crops.
1 Gathering = 1 Pound of Flowers = 3 Silver

This brown and orange moss grows in caverns, usually covering rocks on the floor or walls where moisture is common. It has a low tolerance for strong sunlight but can be found in ruins or outside areas in places which are kept in deep shadow much of the year. The moss is not very durable and when stepped upon is easily smashed and crushed, oozing out a green blue phosphorescent material which can leave obvious glowing tracks left by whatever creature passed for a period of hours. Also, when the moss is crushed it gives off a strong smell like dead fish rotting on the sea shore and this smell can linger in a cavern for days.
When the stench of stink moss is released normal intelligent creatures must make a saving throw versus poison or suffer a -1 penalty to attack rolls and saving throws while they remain within a hundred feet of the moss. Trollborn, orcs, goblins, hobgoblins, ogres and similar creatures are immune to the effects of the stench.

It can be found sometimes in ruins attributed to the elves or in the gardens of the wealthy or of magic-users or other powerful spell casters.
1 Gathering = 1 Plant = 3 Gold
Troll's Bread is a round fungus like a large puff ball which grows in caves or dungeons and sometimes at the edge of fresh water pools or along the banks of slow moving rivers. The fungus sets forth an occasional release of its internal gasses in a noise not unlike the belch of some obnoxious drunk. This release of gas and spores occurs on a roll of 15% or less on percentile dice every turn or ten minutes a character is nearby. Standing nearby Trolls Bread when it releases its burp of gas is not dangerous but leaning down and inhaling a lung full of the black spores full in the face IS. While trolls and ogres, orcs and goblins seem immune to the spores most other intelligent creatures must make a saving throw versus poison or contract a disease called "The Black Cough" from the spores.
A victim of Black Cough begins to show symptoms as soon as the spores are inhaled. Their lungs feel irritated from that point forward and in any given situation they must make a saving throw versus poison or be forced to break out in a series of loud, hacking coughs. After ten days the character must make another saving throw versus poison. If successful the Black Cough illness does not progress or worsen. If the saving throw is failed the character begins to cough up black spore laced phlegm and every four hours they must make a saving throw or be so sick from the cough and its on and off again fever that they can do nothing but lay down and rest for the next four hours.
Curing the Black Cough requires a cure disease spell or potion or a successful use of a cure disease healing drink crafted by an herbalist. Trolls Bread is not the only sort of fungus that can spread the Black Cough. Any time characters are adventuring underground in cavern environments where fungus and mushrooms are located they have a 1 in 1d6 chance every four hours of environmental exposure. Exposure requires a saving throw versus poison. Failure indicates that the character has contracted the Black Cough.
As the name suggests Trolls and Ogres in particular view Troll's Bread as a particularly tasty snack and its presence will sometimes attract them to the area. Trolls and Ogres can sometimes be found scooping out great wedges of this fungus and stuffing the gassy, spore spurting, farting material into their mouths, chewing happily while slobbery black ooze drips down their chins and smiling like school boys with mouths stuffed full of cake.
1 Gathering = 1 Plant = 3 Gold
Toad Weed is a black patterned fresh water plant with long vines which are covered in warty looking nodules and bumps. Much of a Toad Weed plant grows beneath the water, usually in shallows and in ponds or lakes where the bottoms are murky and the water is green with algae. The weed can be a favorite hiding place for small schools of silver fresh water gar which can turn aggressive if disturbed and especially when blood is introduced into the water near to them.
Toad Weed is dangerous because its long vines can get tangled up around the legs of any humanoid or creature which wanders through an area where it is growing. An area of water where Toad Weed is growing is always treated as difficult terrain. Characters riding through it on a mount must make a riding check (Roll 1d20 versus Wisdom) or risk having the legs of their mount snared in the stuff so that it cannot move until cut free.
Uses for Toad Weed are less commonly known but they do exist. For this reason a gathering of Toad Weed is not highly valued simply because most folk, even those who brew potions do not understand its nature or value.
1 Gathering = 3 Plants = 2 Silver
Turn Hoof is a fungus that thrives in damp environments but most especially in meadows and grasslands during the spring and autumn months of the year. The fungus kills off grass and plants growing within six to twelve inches of itself leaving a noticeable hoof shaped brown patch of dead growth on the ground. A speckling of small brown mushroom caps grows at the center of this dead patch but most of the fungus burrows down into the ground, usually to a depth of a foot or more. This fungus can therefore create a hidden hole about four to six inches in diameter and one to two feet in depth, sometimes more where an unwary rider or beast can step and cause themselves serious injury.
The brown mushroom caps growing at the heart of the fungus are useful in brewing poisons designed to specifically kill off various species of plant and fungus life. Shambling mounds and similar creatures must make a saving throw when struck with a weapon coated with this brew or suffer an additional 2d6 damage from the poison. The mixture is unhealthy for regular animals as well but only inflicts 1d4 poison damage on a failed saving throw.
1 Gathering = 1/2 Pound = 1 Gold Piece
