Ketaine
Ketainen are the closest thing Silen Fah has to apple trees. Their wood is a somewhat dusty dark red, and their football-shaped, jagged-edged leaves are medium green with red veins. (Every leaf has seven “jags” - a point at the end, and three along each side.) The leaves taste like ginger and are popular as a culinary herb. Their flowers are pinky-purple with a red center, and have six petals each.
Eventually the flowers will become an apple-like fruit with pink flesh and a purple skin - the darker, the riper. Very ripe ketaines taste like apples with a dash of cinnamon. Less ripe is less sweet, and also more spicy, so forager beware!
Ketaine silturen have rusty red, heavily freckled skin, and curly hair, and they are traditionally expected to be more “spicy” - short tempers, fiery attitudes, etc, but this is a myth. You'll find the same percentage of “spicy” ketaine silturen as any other variety. They do however have a generally higher spice tolerance than others.
