Sirese flower

A pale blue flower of sacred importance.

Flower

Sirese flowers may be found at some clerical shops, as well as the Crossing Temple and Tamsine's Rest. They are considered a symbol of a Cleric's initiation to the divine.

Seed

Sirese seeds are used in a devotional ritual where they are reverently planted and watered by Clerics. They may be GATHERed at:

• Zoluren: South of Kaerna Village

[Northern Trade Road, Open Grasslands]

The darker colors of the serrated wirgars grasses that grow in this particular part of the plains stand out against their lighter cousins. You catch the scent of sirese on the wind, the fragrance of the tiny wildflower wrapping around you. To the south the land turns a rough brown, shifting abruptly from plains to farming land.

Obvious paths: north, south.

• Therengia:
  • Riverhaven Temple

[Temple, Garden]

Within the white plastered walls of the temple lies a peaceful oasis, away from the noise and distraction of the streets outside. A narrow brick path meanders through a miniature landscape of shrubs, flowers and small trees. Velvet smooth grass covers the low rolling hillocks, and just up the path a ways, you see a small flowing stream winding its way northward. You also see a locked almsbox and the temple gate. Obvious paths: east, northwest.

• Theren Cleric Shop garden

[Sister Nongwen's Garden] Off to the side of the cobblestone walkway stands a low brick wall protecting the jewel of Sister Nongwen's garden, a plot of dirt containing several different varieties of sirese flowers. Wooden poles around the wall support a cloth roof that protects the fragile buds from damage due to inclement weather. Obvious paths: northeast, northwest.

• Ilithi: Northeast shore of Shard

[Northern Lake Shore, East Gate Road]

The edge of the lake laps against a shore of fine crystal-white sands. Small wood-violets and sirese flowers lie scattered about the edges of the road, adding splashes of brightness along the dreary route.

Obvious paths: south, northwest.

• Qi'Reshalia:
  • Outside the fourth tier gate of Ratha
  • Outside the flower shop in Aesry Surlaenis'a

• Forfedhdar: Near the Temple of the North Wind

[Vela'Tohr Overlook, Precarious Shelf]

Scraggly clumps of sirese flowers, partially protected by the rising cliff, grow bravely amidst the accumulation of rubble scattered haphazardly on the hard ground. Horizontal cracks striate the cliff -- strange handprints left by nature along the coarse stone wall.

Obvious paths: west.
