Flint Moss
Plant Type
Moss
Rarity
Common
Description
A dark grey moss and dotted with small flecks of rust-brown, Flint Moss is commonly found in area of thermal activity or piles of scree. The moss requires fire to spread its seeds and will ignite from even the smallest of sparks. A three inch cube of Flint Moss will burn for 3-4 hours and combust flame comparable to a normally-sized camp fire. The moss growing on piles of rubble or loose rock is the most dangerous, as friction from shifting stones can cause the flecks to produce sparks, turning what was once a moss-covered mound of debris into a raging inferno.
Location
Flint Moss is found in places with thermal activity or with large piles of scree, such as ruined buildings or caves like the Deep Run. It is considered common.
Development
The moss reproduces through spores; the spores are released through the plant's easy-to-catch flame, where it will find a suitable home to grow. If one finds bunches of flint moss in piles of rubble, it may be easy to guess that a fire may be in question for its ruin.
Material Properties
- Flint Moss is very tough, and often can be tied together and made into rope that can often hold far more tensile strength than regular rope for holding equipment or people.
Alchemical Properties
- By igniting it with even a spark, Flint Moss will rapidly combust; however, its flame is not as hot as a plant like Riverside Wildfire, and offers warmth similar to a campfire.
