Brass Razor Grass

Summary

Brass Razor Grass is a tall, thin grass native to the Wilderun tail that can be found in the dry grasslands of Nor'Jangred and New Vassrun, with little of it appearing in Ca'Vassrun south of the deltas. It is a close relative to the Forester Razor Grass found north in the main body of the Wilderuns, albeit more dry and better adapted to the driest grasslands of central Tor'Saarn.

Appearance

Brass Razor Grass stands between 40cm and 80cm tall, and plants consist of large, thick tufts of pale golden-yellow blades that bend slightly as they reach toward the sky. The grass blades surface is dry and scratchy, however the edges are razor thin and capable of cutting through thin materials. The tips of the grass come to a point that leans to one side that is as sharp as it's edge. Each blade of grass is exceedingly thin, however the plant appears quite bulky and is difficult to see past due to the sheer number of blades emerging from any one shoot.

Uses, Relevance and History

Razor Grass has proven a nuisance for adventurers travelling in the dryer regions of the Wilderuns, and the brass variety has proven no different. Their thin blades can cut exposed skin, creating long wounds similar to a papercut that can sting for hours on end. The long tufts of grass may also hide predators such as venemous snakes or wild dogs, making traversing thicker patches of the grass potentially life threatening even for relatively well-armed travellers.
