Crystal Spring Pitcher Plant

Found growing within the waters of Harrow Lake, this strange plant, formed in the shape of a pitcher, has grown from seedling to flowering plant completely sustained by the magical waters from the spring itself. This magical sustenance has imbued the plant itself with some of that spring's magic, even when removed from its waters. Care should be taken with this pitcher plant, however, as it is extremely poisonous. Its natural feeding mechanism is a carnivorous one in which it traps unsuspecting insects and even small birds, poisoning them with its waters, and then dissolving them for nutrients. This natural mechanism is enhanced drastically by the magical nature of the water in which it grows, making it one of the deadlier poisons known.

The Druids of Immer Grove are known to possess a magical ritual which can cleanse the plant of its poison while retaining its otherwise magical nature. Once this ritual has been performed with a specimen, drinking its waters can have a range of powerful benefits, including healing, magical restfulness, and even occasionally clairvoyance. The water must have time to absorb some of the plant's magical energy, with different specimens imbuing their waters more or less quickly. They appear to average about a day.

Within the walls of Eldorn's City Hall, the closest Eldesa Hold has to a castle, sits the most powerful specimen known outside of the Druids' possession. A gift from one of the Druids' leaders many hundreds of years ago, the pitcher plant remains usable to this very day. A single sip from its waters can cure any poisoning, heal any wound, and completely nourish an individual. The gift was given during the second year of a seven year drought. The plant was taken to every city, town, and village and used to mitigate as many deaths from starvation as possible. This specimen was stolen by a daring thief roughly 370 years ago, but mysteriously reappeared several years later. Rumors abound of its time away, ranging from being an insignificant part of a vast treasure to being used to bring that very thief back to life.
