Overview
The Dewsoul Fern is a delicate, spirit-attuned plant found exclusively in the mists and shadowed clearings of Tarnith’s ancient forests. Known for its silvery frond-tips that hold dew well past sunrise, this plant is believed to absorb the dreams and emotions of those who sleep near it.
It is considered a sacred herb among the Druids of the Veil, frequently used in rites of remembrance, healing, and soul-cleansing.
Mystical Properties
Dreamdew Essence: The dew collected from its fronds is used in potions that induce memory recall or lucid dreaming.
Emotional Echoes: When burned in sacred fires, the fern releases scents tied to the memories of nearby spirits or people.
Veilbinding Wards: Wreaths of Dewsoul are often hung near spirit sites to calm restless energies and prevent malevolent hauntings.
Cultural Significance
During the
Cycle of Reflection, offerings of Dewsoul Fern are placed at gravesites and spirit groves to encourage peaceful communion with ancestors. Herbalists often treat it with reverence, harvesting only under moonlight and never with iron tools.
