A male dragonborn, dark in scale and countenance, levels his draconic glare at those avoiding his flower shop. Surrounded by bushels of colorful lowers arranged in hanging woven baskets, the dragonborn scowls, wondering why sales have been so surprisingly abysmal.

Merchants with this specialty typically carry everything available ta their quality and below. Dragon Lilly. These beautiful lillies grow in the slow moving water found in shallow ponds and streams, anc consume the impurities found in their natural environ: ‘ment. Though they naturally go through this process gradually, once picked a dragon lilly goes into a shock of sorts, seeking additional nutrition to heal, Placed in up to 10 gallons of water, a picked dragon lilly will instantly consume any imputities within ance before fully dying rendering the water safe to drink. Phoenixbloom. Burning softly and emitting a gentle fragrance like incense, phoenixbloom flowers burn eter nally, giving off bright light in a radius of 20 feet, and dim light for 20 feet after that. Any creature that comes into contact with the flaming blossoms, either through an attack or by failing a Dexterity saving throw when walk- ing through a grove of phoenixbloom, takes 14 fire damage.

Crop and flower seeds require 100 consecutive days of maintenance to mature fully, while trees require 1,800 days to begin producing seeds and fruit. A handful of crop or flawer seeds can fill four 5-foot by Soot squares with their associated plant. The space a tree takes up varies greatly, depending on the type of tree and its age. Whistleweed. This long, foxtaiblike grass sings out a high-pitched tone when even a small amount of wind brushes it.

Merchants ofthis specialty often either make their food themselves, or sell food prepared by another chef in their employ. Highly likely to further specialize in making specific types or cultures of food, these merchants, when ‘good quality or higher, tend to perceive their craft as an art form.
