The Zenahin Flower
By: manfred

The Zenahin Flower, Zenahin Bloom, Star Eye, Mood Flower, Little Judge, it has many names.

Hard to find in autumn and early spring, through the summer it grows petals of dark blue, with yellow to white insides, resembling tiny stars.

It is a rare find beyond the Zenahin swamps. It needs warmth and much water, even then it is small. But it is touched by the land’s magic. The flower grows on feelings. Where there is happiness and love, soon it will be larger, its color more vibrant, its shape more distinct and pleasant to the eye. It is said to take on a lovely reddish hue towards the end of summer. It is the bad feelings that are its bane. Hate, anger and strife all wound it, the more it grew from good feelings before.

It is said, that in fullest bloom, potions of healing can be made out of it; but any negative feeling or even the pain of the patient would destroy the brew. It is also claimed that it will make the drinker sensitive to the feelings of others… so much they will become a panicking, nervous wreck. It’s probably just rumors.

Much discussion followed this one in chat. Muro suggested a multitude of uses for trickster-types, to which I responded that it didn't have to respond immediately to changes in emotion. Sure negative emotions could hurt it quickly, but the positive ones could take a while to change it. Just a way to limit these from being much more than nifty background fluff.

I simply love the concept of this flower existing as part of the ecology. The practical applications can vary with campaigns. Perhaps most don't respond quickly, but perhaps some other, hybrid strains, do react quickly to emotional stimulae. Either way, fascinating flower!

How about those that grow in bad areas making evil potions?

The flowers would of course wither and even die. But that doesn't mean that
a) somebody with the skill couldn't learn to distill exactly these 'bad vibes' the plant picked up and use it for something nasty, or
b) there is not a plant, a dark mirror of this one, that actually thrives on the bad feelings, useful for the same

The characters are wandering through the bustling crowds of Lasopolis. A street conjuror is performing a simple summoning spell, something for the kiddies. A bit of odious purple powder in the fire, an incantation and out pops a saak-lizard or a muhmentarsh, writhing from the flaming brazier. But the conjuror has only a poor grasp of the arcane magical tongue. A few stuttered syllables could lead to Other Things coming through the brazier and giving the crowd more entertainment than they had paid for...
