Sweet Slumber

Sweet slumber is a perennial white flower and the source of the alchemical ingredient bloodroot. This is a rare case where the name of the root is better known than the name of the plant itself, due to the unique properties it bears.
The sticky sap stains skin blood red, leading to more than a few false arrests, with innocents being caught "red-handed".
Sweet slumber is considered a sacred plant to Gorav, Cera, and Eris, and is coveted by their followers. It is associated with love, courage, and self-awareness.
