Crimson Sunset

The Crimson Sunset is a flower that grows in the hot summers in the elven forests of Darst. Bodies have been found in forests with the plant growing over dead animals, adventurers and even monsters. Its common name came about as the bodies that have been found to be grown on by these plants appear to be at peace with all their wounds bandaged by the roots of the Crimson Sunsets.
