Nether Wheat

The species of wheat found in the Netherworld is tall, growing to around a meter and a half in height. Unlike the wheat of Earth, the flowers and grain of Nether wheat are a bright golden colour rather than a straw-yellow. Their stems are orange and red in colour. In the Pre-Cataclysm age, the vast fields of wheat used to glow under the bright purple-tinted light of the twin Nether suns, causing the fields to appear as piles of Dragon Horde that had been set ablaze by a wild fire.

Additional Information

Uses, Products & Exploitation

The wheat was a staple in the diet of Pre-Cataclysm life for the Ancubi species. They used the wheat in many different ways, the most popular of which was to make their own kind of bread, which was known to be particularly filling. This bread was typically square in shape, hard and golden on the outside, covered in yellowish flour. The inside was cream in colour and soft, its light and fluffy texture contrasting the sharp crust on the outside.
Another popular use for the wheat was a well-loved breakfast and comfort food somewhat akin to porridge. The grain of the wheat was broken and heated within a volume of a klaivanoan liquid, typically mixed with the flowers of a bluebell-like plant that was native to the Netherworld.
