Wintertide
The Wintertide flower is both rare and revered, blooming once a year at the height of the longest night. Its petals are stark white, almost translucent, surrounding a core of deep indigo that seems to drink in the starlight. Said to flourish only where the first snowfall of the season lands untouched, its presence is seen as an omen of prosperity. Warriors carry dried Wintertide petals into battle for luck, while mystics steep them in glacial water to create tinctures that sharpen the mind. The flower’s short-lived bloom is fleeting, lasting only a single night before vanishing into the frost, leaving behind only its legend.
