Who doesn’t love berries?
They can be eaten raw, they (usually) taste sweet and are used for brewing.
In this case, they are the main essence of potions and equal things.
In my first series of posts I’m going to introduce 7 berries i came up with or altered a bit.
Similar to grapes, they are transparent, nutritious and juicy. The glassberry, however, is hollow and contains two liquids which will always separate from each other into two different layers. Just like water and oil.
The seeds are floating around in the much clearer, less sticky fluid. It’ll keep them moist after the fruit falls onto the ground and sets them free. That way, the glassberry’s able to grow in more humid areas.
Sweetness and nutrition. Both of these things originate from the top liquid, the berriy’s nectar. It’s sticky, thick and syrupy. As soon as the glassberry hit’s the ground, the nectar pours over the seeds, enveloping them completely, resulting in the plant surviving even under desolate conditions.
Therefore the glassberry can be found in grasslands, forrests, jungles and even in the savannah. They can’t survive in deserts, however.
Glasberries taste sweet, although the aqueous fluid is almost tasteless. Their size can be compared to those of grapes. The vines they are growing on are usually dark-brown. The leaves, however, appear transaprent, too.
Brewing with Glassberries:
In brewing, they are used to fuse different potions, poisons and venoms.
mixing a healing potion and an insomnia-brew together with some glassberries will result in a potion that is both capable of healing and protecting against sleep effects.
mixing lich poison, summer wine and glassberries leads to a mixture that will poison your enemies and set them to sleep at the same time.
Mixing two bottles together results in getting two bottles of the resulting liquid and so on.
For the amount of required berries; 5 are usually more than enough for 2 liters.
Mixing is considered as a brewing process and requires additional time! (This time span depends on the resulting fluid.)
When I’m done with listing all the ingredients, I will post and constantly update a list of potions, poisons and vemoms that you can mix to create new things.
