Bwerkberry
The Bwerkberry is a vine that grows in the swamplands of Laedor Thilis. Emitting a pungent smell when their fruits are ripe, bwerkberries can start fermenting if temperature, humidity and acidity of the swamp are perfectly aligned. Under such circumstances, the fruits are harvested by bullywugs who use them to prepare a foul, alcoholic drink known as Bwerk. The bullywugs believe that bwerkberries, which have a religious status in their community, are much-coveted by outsiders. This is why they are secretive about the locations of the berries and will defend them with their lives. However, given the disgusting taste of the berries and their peculiar tendency to cause heavy flatulence, bwerkberries are hardly sought after by non-bullywugs.
Basic Information
Ecology and Habitats
Bwerkberries are found in swampland, which provides them with the moist, putrid environment they need for growth. According to the writings of Silverbeard Thorgōn, the plant may also grow in the darkness of the World Beneath. Thorgōn describes a plant that is used for medicinal purposes by swamp hags in Laedor Thilis and that he also found during his travels below.
