Alpaon- Ancient healing plant of the Maon Family. Once it was common across all of Aynnor though it eventually became only locatable within the Jarnvior until its extinction. It looks much akin to an aloe plant though it is a very deep green color and has red tips, it is most often found growing at the base of trees, near water, or in caves. It was highly potent in its ability to heal those that ate it – often suggested as a panacea or part of one. Famously known in the ancient world and later became known as Emperor's Tears when the Rubicar Empire ruled the western half of Eirene. It is thought to have become extinct sometime during the late Age of Kingdoms.
Recently thanks to the Titan/Forest Spirit Loptr, a party has recovered some to help cure a curse and seeds were discovered. Perhaps once more the plant shall live...
Maon – A healing plant found throughout most of Eirene. It is stout, drought-resistant, and is known to grown in a number of locations including at the base of trees, caverns, near water, and in rocky terrain. While it often grows in a large spread, each is an annual plant. It looks much akin to the aloe plant though it is a very deep green with yellowish spotting on the leaf's underside. Its healing ability is notable and highly sought after. The leaves contain a sap like substance that is often used to heal burns or promote increased flesh regeneration. It is not as potent as its ancestor the Alpaon, but that has not diminished its usefulness. It is used in some degree for nearly any alignment, though most commonly for purifying the body system and to promote healing of wounds.
Thistlewyrst – A food plant that has known healing ability. It is found throughout the western half of Eirene. It is most well known for its large iris like flower. It is a large perennial flowering bush that is often grown for its edible flower shoots. Sometimes grown as a garden plant, though it is prone to killing other plants for soil space. Its flowers typically are blue, red, purple, orange, yellow or a mixture of them. They are consumed for their natural high fiber that is easy to digest, most often lightly blanched or eaten raw. The plant is often used to purify toxins, prevent and cure infections, and stanch bleeding.
Woundwort – A food plant that doubles as a well known herb useful for healing. It is found in the majority of southern Eirene, typically in wastelands, grasslands and woodland edges – especially those possessing damp soil. It is both found in the wild and in gardens, when grown in a garden is is often grown for its beautiful purple spike-like inflorescence styled flower. As a food the tuber and flowers are consumed, being a perennial plant it can produce a fair bit of both over time. It grows as a shrub and its leaves are small and triangular shaped with soft hairs on them. It is useful for wound healing, stanching of internal bleeding, fever reduction, relief from diarrhea, and for improving liver and heart conditions.
