BRINES BITE
Available: Winter 4%
Climatic zone: Harsh, coastal
Locale: beach
Preparation: 2 days to a cycle
Cost: 240 crowns
Brines Bight is a bluish-gold lichen that likes to inhabit rocky regions on or near the ocean. Only after a fresh winters storm does this lichen emerge, as such its lifespan is usually no more than a few days at most, depending mainly on the weather. The plant thrives off the brine contained in foam thrown off big breakers, the reason for this is due to the relative high salt content and low water saturation, it is suspected that the plant converts salt and moonlight into energy, but due to the low availability of specimens this has never been proven. The lichens main claim to fame is its flammability; the plant if ignited will give an initial sharp pop followed by three to five hours of good warmth depending upon how much salt is around the lichen. Grind the lichen at a five to one salt to lichen ratio and the dust produced will aid in the reforming of severely burnt tissue. For modding purposes: this is a good life preserver if you trap a PC high up on a rocky bluff near the ocean and there are no trees for them to hack away at merrily.

Cost: 310 Crowns
Caffar is made of the small caffar nut that is ground into a powder and brewed into a dark, sweet-smelling beverage, traditionally with a goat's milk base. Like kaffe or black tea, caffar can be used to delay sleep, but it has the side effect of making the ingester more magically sensitive; magic skills are greatly enhanced and even the bound are more sensitive to nuances in the environment and in others' manners, sometimes even to the point of detecting "auras" around certain objects. Drinking 3-4 cups in one day causes jumpiness that increases as more is imbibed.
