Glowbells

Glowbells are a rare flower found in certain remote regions of Å+*4~. They grow in meadows that are rarely frequented by people and are considered to be quite a mysterious plant. Because of their rarity, they are forbidden to pick from nature and are as such not very well researched, but they are, nevertheless, very well observed.

General info

Glowbells can grow up to 20cm in height and have a single pale, bell shaped blossom on a stem with numerous narrow leaves. These flowers seem to be most common in large open meadows and often share their space with Butterfly plants.

The blossoms of these flowers have been observed to glow in either pale white, pink or blue color. The glow is better visible at night, but it has been observed that the glow may be more or less intense, depending on several factors.

The glowing bells

The glowing blossoms are the most distinct feature of these plants and the reason why people are so curious about them. It is believed that the glow is used as a form of communication between the flowers, or even between the glowbells and other plants and critters in the area.

The glow of the bells has been observed to change depending on time of day, weather or season. Usually the bells will glow blue right before the storm, white in sunny or favorable weather and pink during pollination season.

The glow is better visible at night, and it has been observed to get stronger before storms, during pollination season and on more fertile grounds. Coincidentally though, it seems a lot weaker when people are around, and somewhat stronger when the fairies are around. It’s almost as if the glowbells are trying to hide from the people, make themselves seem less interesting to avoid being picked, while they are more trusting around fairies. Fairies, after all, would never cause harm to nature.

With all these observations we can assume that the glow of the bells is a way for glowbells to signal to each other how favorable or dangerous the conditions around them are. There is still much to be explored about glowbells and their unique form of communication with each other and the butterfly plants, but we’re getting there.
