Everywhere on Tirakan you can find different plants. Partly they are used as crops, but partly poisonous and medicinal plants can be found here.
Sleepy root is a widely used root that leads to a calmer state of mind. From the intake of 3 to 4 roots, a sound sleep occurs.
The frost wurtz is a recalcitrant root plant that is hardly widespread. Only in the steppes of the Minotaurs can this nutritious plant be found, and it is said to be able to feed a person for up to 3 days.
The ivy looks very similar to the common ivy plant. The trained plant expert can make out a difference in the reddish colouring of the leaves. To the untrained eye, however, ivy cannot be distinguished from the non-toxic ivy.
The Noronut tree is found in wide regions of the Tirakan south. It is found in Yadosia, Gasdaria, Toran and Yavon. Asgoran does a brisk trade in the ground nuts, but there is an import ban on them in Meridian.
Sap moss is a moss of dark blue colour that only grows in damp, shady to lightless places. Sap moss can be eaten without hesitation, even if its taste is very musty and it smells a little sweetly of rot. Nevertheless, sapwort has kept up the strength of many a person lost in dark caves.
The poppy of the dead is cultivated exclusively on the asgoran island of Linya, the plant can be cultivated nowhere else. The plant is a poppy-like flower about twenty fingers high, which is partially colored black.
The frost birch is a rare species of birch in the north of Meridian that reaches its flowering stage in winter. It is particularly resistant to cold and drought.
This is a hardy grain grown by the Nordic peoples of Tirakan. The plant has a height of 15 fingers at its harvest time in winter, and each ear produces 10 to 15 grains. The peoples who feed on it believe that if they eat it as raw and pristine as possible, it will give them tremendous strength.
This is a small-growing, black-leaved conifer that grows on northern beaches. The largest specimens grow a cubit high. Locals do not like to use it, but always when there is nothing better to find than food. In fact, its wood is easily chewed and saturated. However, as this plant is slightly poisonous, it can happen that poison-susceptible people succumb to severe stomach upsets after eating it.
The sunwort is a rather rare desert plant that only forms a few leaves above the surface. About one step below the surface is the fibrous root tuber weighing about one stone, which can be eaten raw and is enough to satiate two adult humans for a day.
Pale weed is a pale green-blue hardy herb that grows in the central Tirakan in shady damp places. Its leaves can be taken fresh or dried as a tea, or in the form of ointments for light pain relief. In case of intolerance or too high a dosage of pale weed, mild intoxication-like symptoms may occur.
The red mushroom seems to be a variety of the meat mushroom. Only slightly half the size, half a thread in height and weighing up to 25 stone, it is dark red and of dark red juicy flesh. Its taste is similar to that of mixed wild berries with mushrooms, and a fully grown specimen can feed 10 adult Humans for a day. In some areas, a delicacy is to prepare red mushroom together with meat mushrooms.
The meat mushroom is often found in damp caves and in damp places protected from light, and grows up to one step high and 20 stones in weight, is dark brown and of similarly coloured flesh. It is edible, well digestible, tastes a little like deer and has a satiating and thirst-quenching effect.
The king's grain is a cereal that thrives in a mild climate. It requires fertile soil and plenty of water, but then produces 2 to 5 ears per stalk. It reaches a height of 3 fathoms.
In some Tirakan realms, a large forestry industry is beginning to be established. The reason for this is the dwindling of the forests resulting from ruthless overexploitation.
