Veuse Fiber

(Legacy Content)

Veuse fiber is an organic, fibrous material taken from the leaves of the Veuse plant. The material is lightweight and exceptionally durable, making it useful for both clothing, rope, and twine. Given the extensive cultivation of the Veuse plant for the petals and fruits it produces, the fact that additional materials can be gleaned from the plant after its harvest only further increases its value.

Properties

Material Characteristics

Raw Veuse fiber appears as lengths of green cords, though finished, useable cord appears as lengths of brown or tan with varying widths.

Physical & Chemical Properties

Veuse fibers possess none of the healing properties of the rest of the plant, though their inherent durability makes them especially useful for clothes and rope primarily.

Compounds

Veuse fiber is incorporated into many products, though of course the main two being clothing and rope.

Geology & Geography

The Veuse plant grows in many locales across the world, mainly in lush plains or forests, though they are often cultivated in large fields for their many uses. Additionally, nearly no Veuse plants can grow on The Tyrralorean Landmass due to its primarily desert landscape.

Origin & Source

Veuse fibers comes from the plant of the same name: the Veuse plant.

History & Usage

History

Veuse fibers have always been used in some manner of manufacturing since the material's discovery in the Golden Age, after the plant's healing properties had been thoroughly identified.

Discovery

Veuse fibers were discovered during a closer examination of the parts of the Veuse plant that was commonly discarded, and thusly provided use to such components.

Everyday use

Veuse fiber ropes are commonly used for the construction of sailboats, galleons, and other technologically stagnated vessels and crafts, while clothing made from the fibers are used almost globally alongside cotton or woolen articles.

Refinement

Veuse fibers are first harvested from the leaves and stalks of the plant when it is reaped. The fibers are first soaked in a brine solution of approximately five to seven hours, then removed and hung to dry for another three or four hours. The fibers are then spun together into different material widths, or gauges, depending on the product to be produced, after which usable material is created.

Manufacturing & Products

Veuse fibers are used in the manufacturing of numerous types of clothing, such as shirts, pants, gloves, cloaks, headwear, shoes, belts, and nearly anything else that can be made from fibers. The fibers are also used in the manufacture of rope and twine, which themselves can be used in construction processes of numerous buildings or seagoing vessels.

Byproducts & Sideproducts

At current time, Veuse fiber does not produce any byproducts from its refinement process.

Hazards

Veuse fiber is not hazardous to the average person, though may pose a limited threat to those allergic to the material.

Environmental Impact

Since the plant itself is capable of being easily cultivated, the effect its harvesting has on the environment becomes negligible.

Reusability & Recycling

Veuse fiber can be unwound and re-spun into other products, allowing massive amounts of the material to be stored in coiled spools.

Distribution

Trade & Market

Veuse fibers are distributed by mills all across the world, though in most cases those same mills will also produce finished products that require the material.

Storage

Finished Veuse fibers are spun into coils and stored in large spools until needed for manufacturing.

Value

0.5 Sanctums per pound.

Rarity

Very Common

Odor

Freshly harvested fibers smell of cut grass, while finished fibers do not possess an odor.

Taste

Veuse Fibers taste of grass.

Color

Fresh fibers are a bright, organic green, while finished fibers are tanned or brown.
