Osuchi (oˈzuki)
Dream Flower, Dark Wave Language
"While he wove the magics the grass sighed and from it was woven the Osuchi."This is a lilac-like plant that is believed to have been created by Lynir's dreams and his use of Alteration and Illusion magic. That is because the plants' colors are odd so they were altered and they seem to be glowing when looked at although all photos of the plant don't have that glow. It grows in and around the shrines of Lynir and there is isn't many surviving shrines to the Fa Geinn God of Rebrith.- The Word Of Desires, The Canticle of Bhoa dru Durá
