Native Imarel Flora - by T.A. Saunders, B.Kellestine, K.Johnson v3

This bright red, orange and yellow-petaled flower is known only to grow in the midst of the K`Lori Wastes, in Southern Shalzaar, where they are a highly sought commodity by both the Mira's Hope colonial traders and the resident Xar-Kah who have no qualms about killing over them. The Xar-Kah use the flower to enhance the venom from their stingers, by eating the flower itself. For twelve hours after devouring Flamebloom, the Xar-Kah poison, which is normally lethal within minutes of being stung is altered in such a way that it becomes a non-lethal paralyzing toxin. While this might seem counter-productive, the ability to sting something…or somebody for purposes of taking them prisoner is incredibly useful. Colonial traders and others value the Flamebloom not only for its beauty, but it's ability to slow the spread of natural poisons. In this manner, it is ground up, boiled and mixed with fermented honey.
