==Classification: Shrub==
'''Beith'''


This plant is a shrub that grows in mountainous and temperate climates. Its leaves are doubly serrate with feather veins, and they often appear in pairs. The beith is monoecious, opening with or before the leaves and borne on three-flowered clusters.


'''Derma'''  
=='''Classification: Flowering Bush'''==
*'''Narok'''


This flowering shrub grows about 2 to 3 feet tall and has large broad leaves about the size of a man’s hand. These leaves are dark green with the outer edges an off white color. The flowers are about an inch in size and a pale blue in color. The root system is extensive with large tan colored tubular roots. On a fully grown plant these roots will be about half an inch round and a foot long with numerous smaller tendrils.
This flowering berry plant has long tapering pale green leaves with white spots. The flowers are a small creamy white with a dark brown center. The plant grows about a meter high and is rounded in shape. The flowers are numerous and seem to have a repeating cycle that will result in about 3 or 4 periods of heavy growth each year.  


This root can be pressed to produce a oil that is used in the Laudean Birthing Ritual as described in the [[Laudean Rituals & Customs]]. This oil is slightly thick with a pleasant fragrant aroma.
When the thumb sized flower falls off it is quickly replaced by a dark brown berry. These berries cause a hemorrhagic inflammation of the intestine called Hemorrhagic Gastroenteritis. It has been known to result in a slow and lingering death. One that is marked with intense pain, stomach cramps and loose bowls.


*'''Orgabarra'''


'''Irchis'''
This is a flowering plant that is found mostly in meadows and pastures. It requires a very high nitres content in the ground. This is most common near large number of grazing animals. It has thin stalks about a foot to a foot and a half tall covered in golden colored leaves. It has an extensive root that can be used to make a sweet herbal tea.


The Irchis is a flowering shrub native to the area around the city of Eaven. It is cultivated and traded as an exotic garden plant. A full size plant will be about 4 feet tall and egg shaped. The leaves are small and a deep, dark green in color.
It has attractive flowers that are cerulean blue when they open, changing to lavender and finally fading to white just before they fall. The flowers have a very pleasant scent. When in full bloom a single plant may have as many as 50 to 75 flowers at any one time.

=='''Classification: Fruit'''==
'''Goman'''
*'''Goman'''


This fruit tree only grows in tropical climates but will produce up to 3 crops a year. The tree it self is about 20 foot tall with yellowish green leaves. The trunk is rough and has a fibrous exterior that seems to be constantly shedding.

'''Foreo'''
*'''Foreo'''


This is a small bush that is native to the province of Bryque and grows on steep hill sides. It has been domesticated and large farms have been set up to grow them. On average a full grown healthy tree will be about 5 feet tall. A single tree will grow hundreds of black golf ball sized nuts that can be cracked open to reveal a hard dark brown center.

==Classification: Vegetable==
'''Havre'''


This plant is a grown as a staple crop. It reaches the a height of about 7’ with huge long dark green leaves. It will typically have 3 stalks about an inch in size and each stalk will usually have between a dozen and twenty large pods. These pods weight as much as half a pound and are larger than a man’s hand.  
=='''Classification: Grain'''==
*'''Norca'''
 
This plant grows about shoulder high with thin stalks and big bushy heads of small grain kernels. These kernels are a light red in color and darken as they ripen. The plant itself is a dull green with small leave just below the bushy head. Other than that the stalk is bare.
 
Once harvested and processed it is ground up into flour and used to make lots of different baked goods. It can also be used to brew a very potent type of alcohol.
 
 
=='''Classification: Seasoning and Spice''' ==
*'''Puppa'''
 
Marked by small red leaves, this plant's roots are often ground into a grainy powder used like pepper to sprinkle on foods for added flavor. It's leaves can be used in cooking to add a dill flavor .


Inside these pods are full of dark red kernels or seeds. They can be ground up into a type of flour, cooked and eaten as a side dish or mashed into a paste and added to other foods. It is a staple of their diet and can be found in some way or another at almost every meal.


*'''Agrae'''


'''Savo'''
Harvested from the sea water, Agrae is much like salt only the color is blue.


This plant grows about 2 feet tall and has waxy spearhead shaped dull green leaves. When it is dug up they will produce between 15 to 25 tubular vegetables that look a little like a sweet potato that has a thick very dark red husk covering the meaty center which is a dark red. On average each of these will be about the size of a mans fist.


They taste much like potatoes, but are a little spicy and some can be as hot as mild peppers. Served raw, it is normally used as a chopped ingredient in salads. When cooked they are often served as a stand alone side dish to marine life.
=='''Classification: Shrub'''==
*'''Beith'''


=='''Classification: Weed'''==
This plant is a shrub that grows in mountainous and temperate climates. Its leaves are doubly serrate with feather veins, and they often appear in pairs. The beith is monoecious, opening with or before the leaves and borne on three-flowered clusters.
'''Minevra'''
   
   
This is a clinging plant that climbs just about anything it can. It produces a palm sized flower similar to Earth's sunflower. It is considered a weed due to it’s ability to survive harsh conditions and the fact that it is very hard to kill. It is native to the Providence of Damodara but can now be found in almost every province.


The leaves can be dried and used to produce a fragrant tea. It is used by pregnant women and has been proven to dramatically increase the number of healthy births. This tea can be found in any and all city markets.
*'''Derma'''
 
This flowering shrub grows about 2 to 3 feet tall and has large broad leaves about the size of a man’s hand. These leaves are dark green with the outer edges an off white color.

*'''Irchis'''


The [[Zalkonian|Zalkonians]] did some research and have recently made a startling discovery about this plant. As well as blocking Fielding abilities, it also blocks all telepathy. [[Betazoid|Betazoids]] are especially susceptible to its effect. Too much exposure could kill them, and the stronger the telepathic ability, the stronger the effects.

'''Rowtat'''
=='''Classification: Tree'''==
*'''Sorja Treen'''


This plant is a pest as it is hard to kill and has a poisonous root. The top of the plant looks a lot like grass but is slightly darker in colour and has a slight waxy feeling. The root is a small ball in shape with a dark purple skin and a white interior.
This is a medium sized tree that grows to about 20” tall. It has a very thick trunk with sharp 3 inch long thorns on it. Branches usually start about 10’ above the ground where the thorns slowly fade out. The upper part of the tree is very wide, usually about 25’ to 35’. It provided intense shade and the area under the tree is usually always in deep shade. It is a favoured nesting location from many different species of birds.


In small doses it can produce a hallucinogenic experience. In larger quantities it has caused permanent brain damage and death. It has also been know to increase the control and power level of some Laudeans fielding ability. Further experimentation has been banned due to the seriousness of the side affects.

*'''Gelk'''


A Gelk is a powerful, large shorthaired feline with a long tail which helps them balance in the trees, jungles and high places where they are generally found. They have sharp teeth and mainly eat meat. Some breeds are predators and others are scavengers. They vary in colour depending on region. Black Gelk commonly are regarded as sneaky due to their nocturnal, stealthy predatorial style and the way they shy away from Laudeans.


=='''Classification: Rodent'''==
*'''Meeka'''
The Meeka is a small rodent-like animal with some traits similar to the terrestrial chicken. It's forelimbs are short and only used for feeding, the Meeka only uses it's long, strong hindlimbs for locomotion. The Meeka is a pure herbivore, feeding on numerous plants.  It's favorite seems to be the grain of the Norca plant, making it an enemy of Laudean farmers. Fortunately, they are dumb and quite tasty, making them easy to catch and easy to eat.

=='''Classification: Primate'''==
*'''Surrilian Monkat'''
These are very rare animals found only in small family groupings. A primate-feline mix in appearance, they are highly developed and are the only creature other than the [[Laudean]]s to have a connection to the Fielding.
They are small creatures, approximately 40cm tall, and appear to be a cross between a small primate and a small feline. They have the apparent human-like features of a primate, small hands and feet, but with large ears and highly alert eyes. They also have a feline-like face with whiskers, the coloring varying from a charcoal grey to a tan. Semi-sentient, they can communicate with one another telepathically, and have limited telepathic ability with other telepathic beings.
