Description

The Dreaming Lily, with its dark, glossy foliage and vibrant white petals, is found growing on the ceilings of caves throughout Aversia's Deep Runs and cave systems. It's unknown how a plant blooming only in darkness can spread with such abundance, but it's certainly rare to find a cave without these plants rather than with them. The roots of the Dreaming Lily grow on fertile above-ground soil, forming brittle bundles of tube-like roots, which resemble tangled knots of grey yarn. Dreaming Lily blossoms absorb humidity from the air, keeping the caves in which they are found cool and pleasant. It's said that if a drop of nectar falls naturally from the flower of a Dreaming Lily and is caught upon the tongue, it will grant visions of the past or future.

Location

Dreaming Lilies are considered common, as they sprout in most minor cave systems, as well as through the entirety of the Deep Run.

Development

Dreaming Lilies' seeds are found by small rodents aboveground, where they dig through the plant's roots and eat some of its potential seeds; thereafter, the seeds are transferred wherever the animal may traverse, and the Dreaming Lily grows beneath the earth until it reaches its favored cave system.

Alchemical Properties

• If a drop of nectar falls naturally from the flower of a Dreaming Lily and is caught upon the tongue, the plant can grant short visions of the past or future; even if the memory was removed, the plant relies on the user's experience. However, there's no telling what the scenario may be, or if even happened or will happen. The memory stays with the person, and unfortunately for some, forces them to relive haunting memories. The vision can't include anything but the affected and places they're familiar with.
