Scorpiria Purpura

This flower might have quite the menacing name, but if you have ever found yourself lost deep inside the Wilds, there is nothing else you could see that would bring you more happines, than this plant. Named for its rich purple colour while blooming, the sharp flower petals remind people of a scorpion from certain angles. This title is one of the very few words originating from the soldiers of the Sol Empire, that are still in use today.
This flower is not that much special, albeit it does look pretty in gardens so you can sometimes come across it in the castle compounds of the rich. Other than that you can't really do anything with it - it tastes bitter, its pigment is not rich enough to dye fabrics and its smell is too faint to be used in perfumes. But for those who are wondering and those who are lost, this flower, has much bigger value than sustenance.
Scorpiria flowers naturally follow the sun and its travel across the sky no matter if the sunshine is able to penetrate the dense trees or not. They also need fresh and clean water and usually grow around streams and springs lost deep inside the wilderness. If you are ever so unlucky as to lose your sense of directions in the ancient forests of Avalonia, these flowers may very well save your life. Thanks to them you can keep walking in the correct direction, the flowers can guide you to the sun even if you pick them from the soil and carry them with you. As long as there is a little life left in its petals, it is able to recognise and bend into the direction of the flaming orb.
For that it is often used as a good luck charm for anyone who needs to travel long distances, such as messengers and tradesmen, so they can always find their way out of any situations. Many people consider purple a lucky colour.
