Allspice

Allspice is a round, brown peppercorn that grows on pimento trees. The tree from which they grow is a midcanopy tree that grows in warm, near-equatorial climates, which is also the source of pimento leaves. Allspice is a favoured seasoning among chefs across Dratora for its diverse palate.
Allspice is associated with the cycle of creation and destruction, and by extension the element of fire.

• Dilator
• Litan
• Lustrum
• Feloterra
