Physical Description
This beautiful flower grows tall and
straight. The petals of the flower are mostly orange, with some yellow and white. The
outer petals are very thin and flexible so that the flicker in the breeze. From a
distance, the flower looks very much like the flames of a small torch or fire. Buried deep
within the petals is a small crystal. The crystal is about an inch long and is usually
emerald green. The Cold Flame is considered to be one of the most beautiful flowers on all
of Khoras.
Physical Properties
The crystal can be pulled free from its house of petals. If
the crystal is broken, two compounds, a liquid and a fine powder, inside the crystal mix
and generate a great amount of heat. This chemical reaction lasts only a few seconds, but
creates more than enough heat to start a roaring fire. If it is not handled carefully, an
individual could ignite himself on fire.
Magical Properties
None.
Notes
Also known as the Flame of the Cold
Marshes. This flower is often woven into tales of survival. More than one person lost in
the northern swamps has been saved by a single Cold Flame.
