Rubytooth

The Rubytooth is a tree native to the 11th layer of the Chiraki Abyss. The small evergreen shrug bears many-seeded oval fruits in a variety of colors, from light blue, green to nearly clear white. Its second name, Glarefruit, comes from the numerous bumps on the surface that resemble eyes with black dots in the middle. Between the ''eyes’’, one might notice pink flowers peaking through which attract various smaller chirakis. The leaves are large, flat, either heart or spearhead-shaped with prominent veins. The roots are thin and spread around the plant, with only some going deeper underground.
As the Rubytooth ripens, each ''eye’’ splits open, revealing reddish-orange seed capsules inside, resembling a ruby.

Uses

Seeds:

Chiraki Hunters dry and grind the seeds to make vivid red dyes. Nobility and royalty are drawn to the Royal Red for its vibrancy and resistance to fading even under direct sunlight or prolonged wear. Prominent Southern Taraakhi nobles frequently have brilliant crimson threads woven inside their clothing.

Leaves and flowers:

Dried leaves and flowers are used as tea to soothe stomach and intestinal pain, particularly loved by those fancying Aakhir cuisine.

Roots:

Rubytooth’s roots are washed, thinly diced and placed in a jar with vinegar or alcohol. The jar is sealed for 8 weeks and occasionally shaken. The created tincture can be mixed with small amount of water or alcohol to act as an especially effective aseptic and antiseptic substance. The thick paste can also be applied as compression, considerably shortening the wound healing time.

One must never mix any chiraki ointment with Firozi Dharaat medicine. The mixture is known to cause abnormal regeneration, leading to keloid scars or even cancerous growths.

Rubytooth is also grown on Chiraki Abyss farms, but Amaar's Breath is less concentrated in the first layer, causing the plant to lose some of its properties and making wild variants more tempting to claim.
