Emerald Bloom

Commonly found in forests and near rivers and ponds, the Emerald Bloom is a species of flower renowned for its many medical benefits.According to legend, these flowers were blessed by Vysora, a Prime Dragon often associated with nature and health, hence their green petals and healing properties. While the flower can be taken on its own, as it was back in the old days, it works best when combined with other healing plants, usually in the form of potions. Today, Emerald Blooms are a common but valuable commodity, especially among potion makers and doctors, and is a valuable part of modern medicine.
