Swords

Swords were a species of spiritual plant located throughout The Gates but primarily in the Grasslands and north of the Mountains.
From Tarot. Swords deal with the mental level of consciousness that is centered around intellect and the mind. Swords reflect the quality of mind present in your thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs.
Swords are often "double-edged" and in this way they symbolize the fine balance between power and intellect and how these two elements can be used for evil or for good.
Swords are associated with the element of Air. Air can be still, unnoticed, a breeze or a fierce wind. It is powerful yet cleansing and refreshing. The air element relates to knowledge, action, power, and change.
It is unclear what led to the extinction of this plant, but it has not been seen in the Gates for some time. Many citizens will even claim that it never did exist and that it is just a mythical plant, but there are records of its existence.
