Hirithel's Guide to Common Herbs
If an herb gatherer still has pristine and unblemished hands, they either are trullocs, or they're neglecting an extremely useful specimen of plant life. After all, it is bristle thorn's small rounded cones that are responsible for many a scratched up pair of hands, and certainly many a curse! Still, the herb itself is such a greatly versatile and important herb that it is well worth the effort of collection.
