Name: Vlahardrams.

Quick Facts:

Height: 6-8ft.

Width: 2ft.

Length: 4ft.

Fruit: Known as Vlahars. Large, juicy oblong fruits with a hardened exterior, yellow on the surface with an orange-yellow interior and large enough to feed a family of 4 when ripe. Has a uniquely rich taste to it, sweet but filling.

Poison: Utterly harmless to the majority of the population, but known by a rare few to be highly dangerous, almost toxic, to Defiers.

Native to: Rynmere.

Locations: North and Central Idalos, across Rharne, Eastern Territories, Ivorian and Eternal Empires, Scalvoris and Melrath.

Appearance: During flowering season, the plant appears as an ordinary tree, with a very thick trunk, tall branches covered in green leaves and with small vibrant yellow flowers dotting its surface. These flowers have no particular properties and simply look pretty. During harvest season, the leaves fall away and many flowers wither and die - the few that have survived germination growing into thick heavy-hanging fruit that dangle from the remaining branches, which are forced to bend under their sheer combined weight. These fruit, individually, have been known on average to grow anywhere up to one and a half feet in diameter and weigh 15-25kg, appearing in bunches from 4 to 10. Its wood is soft and pliant, making it mostly useless for anything other than decoration.

Habitat: Temperate conditions, toeing the balance between pleasant heat and dry conditions, though considered to be a hearty plant nonetheless and capable of surviving in both intense heat or cold, dry or wet. The yield of fruit is usually negligible in these cases however and so the tree is deemed mostly useless.

Lifespan and Development: Approximately twenty seeds can be harvested from a single Vlahar. When planted, it takes a full arc to grow into a mature tree, becoming a young sapling within a cycle (cannot be Cold) and another two of development to become capable of bearing flowers and fruit. Can be harvested twice per Arc, once per Cycle for the Rebirth and Hot Cycles. During the Cold Cycle, the Vlahars will lose its leaves and fruit, falling into hibernation until warmer weather around the beginning of Ashan.

Uses: Often used for food. Known for its large edible fruit and high nutrition, this fruit can be paired with all manners of salads and meats, making it a common dish, widely available.

Temperament: None.

Abilities: The fruit is entirely harmless and very nutritious, but harbours a secret that only those with very high researching skills are likely able to uncover. The juice, contained within a pocket in the center of the fruit, is toxic to Defiance mages. If consumed ordinarily along with the rest of the fruit, unless eating the entire fruit (which would be a feat in itself) the amount is often harmless and diluted by the fruit itself. If squeezed, removed and concentrated, it becomes an extremely-sweet concoction that, when ingested, causes a brief and massive rush of energy to the mage, as well as a loss of inhibitions as their Spark greedily consumes the juice and searches desperately for more, instantly hooked on the craving. When it does not find any, the element burns deep within the mage, filling them until it bursts from their skin and kills them in either a huge flood of water, spikes of stone, raging flame or a blast of air in its own hunger. The mage can briefly stave off this hunger by ingesting more, but this is a short-term fix and eventually the Spark will overload on its own craving. Even incomplete doses can prove debilitating and dangerous, creating a bubble of water trapped within the mage's abdomen, or earth spikes bursting from their shoulders.

A full dose of this poison depends on the level of the Defier in question, with a single Vlahar sufficient for a Novice Defier, two for Competent, three for Expert and four for Master. Revealed Mages, being the embodiement of the element themselves, do not suffer any adverse effects and are given a huge boost of energy and awareness with no detriment.
