Kasharian Jasmine

“It was the most beautiful thing I ever saw. The flowers opened like tiny moons, shining with a pure and radiant light and the scent..you would never believe it. It was sweet and soothing, like a blessing from the heavens itself. By the daughters, I will never forget that night as long as I live.”

Nirab Al'shadar
    Legend whispers of the Kasharian jasmine as a testament of the mother's love, a gift bestowed upon her daughters, the twin moons, to grace the unforgiving desert with breathtaking beauty. Whether born of myth or miracle, these delicate flowers create one of the most wondrous and rare spectacles, a rare and wondrous sight to behold for any adventurer who dares venture into their arid realm.  

Appearance and Habitat

  Of all the beautiful things that exist on Aran'sha, few can compare to the beauty of a Kasharian jasmine in full bloom. A delicate stem of shimmering emerald green supports delicate petals bathed in a luminous white, holding in their midst a vibrant yellow center. An intoxicating smell that soothes the soul wafts over the fields of these flowers, softly wavering under the light of the twin moons like a shimmering carpet of snow. Revered for its calming and restorative properties, this ephemeral bloom has long been cherished for its medicinal and magical virtues.     The Kasharian jasmine's elusive nature only serves to heighten its mystique.. In the heart of the desert, far from the clutches of civilization, where no soul dares to tread, these delicate flowers bloom in the scant oases that dot the vast expanse of sand. Three or four times a year, under the soft veil of night and bathed in the soft glow of the twin moons, these delicate flowers open, creating a spectacle that mirrors the star-studded sky above. By dawn's first light, the ephemeral blossoms wilt and fade like dreams dissolving into the morning light, leaving only their enchanting fragrance to linger in the air.  

Importance to the people

  The Kasharian jasmine's exquisite scent, a harmonious blend of sweetness and serenity, has earned it the title of "the flower of peace." Its fragrance is often employed in rituals and ceremonies, fostering harmony and goodwill among those gathered. The delicate tendrils of its scent weave through the air, calming troubled hearts and fostering a sense of tranquility that few can escape.     A Potent Alchemical Ingredient   Within an alchemist's workshop, the Kasharian jasmine is not merely used for its fragrance: it is a potent ingredient imbued with extraordinary properties. Its essence, carefully distilled and blended, forms the basis of elixirs that induce sleep, alleviate anxiety, and help walking dreams. Some alchemists even whisper of its ability to grant visions of the future, revealing glimpses of what lies ahead.     A Treasured Commodity   The Kasharian jasmine's rarity and enigmatic nature have transformed it into a highly sought-after commodity. Its cultivation demands meticulous care and an abundance of water, making it a precious and expensive treasure. Yet, despite the challenges it presents, the Kasharian jasmine remains a coveted gem, prized for its beauty, medicinal properties, and magical essence.

I'm always happy to see a new plant created - fantasy botany doesn't get enough love. This is a lovely article.

Yes, I noticed that - and have made it my goal to create a few more plants for Aran'sha. Feel free to suggest some if you want. If it fits I will write it.

Sit down, my friend, and let me tell you of Aran'sha . A world where the sands shift and the stars sing, where the wind carries secrets and the twin moons keep silent vigil over it all.
