Ouvine
The ouvine is a magical vine said to be a sign of a god or spirit's blessing. It is found by the blessed, and only the blessed can find it. Each god's vine is different, it may be thorny and yellow or smooth and green, but it is always recognizable by its eleven-petaled flower. These flowers, when picked, can be used to create a dye of the flower's color. The gods' blessing is more symbolic than practical, and using the dye is seen as acceptance of the god's blessing.
The person who will find an ouvine may be directly chosen by a god, or it may grow in their path because they exemplify the god's ideals. Whatever the case, the finder almost always has an unusual fate to look forward to. Those blessed with the ouvine are so blessed because they are needed by the god for some sort of task, whether the god knows it or not. This task usually presents itself to the blessed soon after using the dye. There are many stories of heroes in yellow clothes.
Sometimes, however, the ouvine is found after an accomplishment, as a reward to the finder. This is usually after completing a task that didn't need to be done or after rising to an occasion unexpectedly.
