Farryn 812 Share Posted December 22, 2014 The Mordens' plant Description The Mordens's plant is an exotic plant that is located within the dense jungles of Athera. The plant is known for being a carnivore plant that will eat any living creature and digest them. The plant is also known for its poisonous sleeping venom that is located in the vines and the bulb underneath the larger flower that some call 'the mouth of the plant' (see picture). Although a plant, the Mordens' plant appears to have a mind of its own, being able to attack any predators or creature that comes by it. The plant was named after a man called Rodan Mordens who discovered the plant and begun to research the plant, Rodin was then ironically eaten by the very plant he discovered, thus the plant was named after him. Appearance The Mordens' plant is a 9ft plant that has a tree like stem. The plant has a large, blood red flower with razor sharp teeth that leads into the depth of the plant. The flower releases a very sweet fragrance that attracts animals to the plant, only to lead them to being digested by the plant. When closed, the flower resembles a greenish bulb that has a texture somewhat similar to the scales of a lizard with the edges resembling a pair of red lips. Growing from the stem are vines ranging from two to eight, depending on how old the plant is (two if young and eight if old), and these vines contain sharp needles that inject a sleeping venom that causes anyone injected with the venom to fall asleep for seven hours while the poison in the venom begins to kill them. Lastly, a small stem grows out from the bottom of the stem, leading to a red bulb that contains the sleeping venom and creates the liquid there. Location The Mordens' plant is located within very dense jungles, as the plant enjoys the tropical climate. If one was to search for the plant. It would be recommend to bring a sword that can cut through the dense jungle or to have a guide to stop them from getting lost. Defences The Mordens' plant has defences in order to protect itself from predictors or from people who wish to collect the venom. The plant will use its vines in order to inject the attackers with the sleeping venom, placing the attacker asleep for seven hours. The plant will also use these vines to sweep away any other attackers. The plant also spits out the acid from its stomach at the attackers, causing lethal paint and can blind if the acid gets into the attackers' eyes. Lastly, the plant will pick up any sleeping attackers and will devour them, allowing the acid inside its stomach to digest them into energy and nutrients for the plant. Anyone who is injected with the venom but is carried away from the plant will sleep for seven days until the poison within the venom kills them before they wake up. Weaknesses Although the plant has a range of defences, it also has a range of weaknesses. One of the prime weaknesses of the Mordens' plant is that it extremely hates fire. By lighting a stick on fire and swishing the burning stick at the plant, the Mordens' plant will begin backing away to keep clear of the fire. It is recommended to use the fire to keep the vines at bay while another person cuts the small bulb from the plant. Additionally, by cutting off the bulb located at the bottom of the plant, the venom will cease to reach the vines, making the vines less dangerous. Lastly, to kill the plant, one can simply throw fire into the plant's enormous flower or continuously shredding it apart. Uses Although the vines and the stem of the plant holds no uses, the flowers and the venom can be used in a few ways. The venom of the plant can be uses to create sleeping potions through Alchemy, or sometimes even poisons and the venom's antidote as well. The venom is best received from the small bulb, as getting the venom from the vines will be difficult with the vines moving. As for the flower, the flower is not poisonous and can be used to create a rich red dye for clothing and fabrics. The flower can also be used to create a fair and lovely fragrance and oil. ~~~~ I hope you enjoy this lore idea. - Gira 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jistuma 1995 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I'm sorry to say that this lore has been Denied. While the idea is good, the plant is very powerful, and could be quite difficult to roleplay. Ideas could be taken from it to be used by ETs of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
