Grows in dark, damp areas, and thrives in a cooler climate.
Description:
This plant has a small number of rubbery leaves that spike upwards from the ground. The leaves are wide at the base tapering upwards to end in a point that looks very sharp but is actually soft to the touch and easily bent or broken. The plant has a thick blood-red juice that makes an excellent dye.
Usages:
Those races who enjoy the use of body paint are particularly fond of blood spikes. Some ancient legends claimed that eating this plant would strengthen the blood of warriors. Other legends said that this was a very healthy plant for females of childbearing age to add to their diet. However herbalists of today have not been able to find any effects, pro or con, from ingesting the blood spikes. It does give tomato based dishes a nice rich red color without doing any known harm and is virtually tasteless.
Notes:
It is rumored that a secret society of Necromancers have discovered a dark use for this plant but details are unknown at this time.
