Edwistberry

The Edwistberry was a small, purplish-blue, sweet, oval-shaped berry. They were juicy and plump, ranging in size from the tip of your pinky finger to about the width of an average thumb nail. On rare occasion, some berries were known to grow as large as a human eyeball.
Edwistberries grew on leafy, viny bushes close to the ground. This made them a bit of a challenge to locate at times, as Edwistberry Bushes would often become overshadowed by other plants. This was not at all a hinderance, as Edwistberries were able to grow with minimal sunlight. In fact, if an Edwistberry Bush was exposed to too much sun, the berries would ripen too quickly and become more tart or bland than sweet.
The flesh of the berry could be described as dense but smooth. Its skin was reminiscent of a grape. Due to its high water content, the berry was used to create beverages, ointments, and salves. Firmented Edwistberries created exquisite ciders and wines.
The aroma of the berry was very sweet and fragrant. Pleasant to the nose, it was one of the things most visitors enjoyed about traveling to Edwistburg. The smell was always on the air, inviting all to have a merry time.

Every since the Demise of Edwistburg, the berries that were once sought after by many were thought to exist no more. In addition to harming and capturing people and animals, the Wahstrehite Knights destroyed buildings and set much of the flora ablaze, rendering many of its native plantlife extinct. The aftermath has left the entire area a deserted, barren wasteland. There are rumors of people who still live in the land, but it is not the same as it once was. The land is now dry, though some patches can be found where a few of the land's plants have tried in earnest to rebound. Still, these rare sprouts do not fill the air with the lovely smell once signature to the land. The only other Edwistberry plants known to exist are those that were farmed in other districts. Many former natives claim they can taste the difference between a berry that was grown in Edwistburg soil and one that developed elsewhere.
