Piper’s Plant
Rarity
Very common
Description
A reedlike plant with broad leaves that grows throughout the Ironlands, at the edges of ponds or sometimes lakes and rivers. Most plentiful in the Flooded Lands.
Interactions
Can nullify the benefits of Lodurr's Tears if taken together.
Dangers
None.
Medicinal Uses
The leaves can be used to treat mountain sickness, chronic lightheadedness, or weakness following significant blood loss. The effects are typically delayed by a day or two.
Purported to have a general strength-boosting effect, but it doesn’t seem to work for everyone.
Culinary Uses
Its small white blooms, appearing briefly during the spring, can be used in teas. The roots have a similar flavor and can be dried and ground to use as a spice that complements game particularly well.
Practical Uses
A bright red dye can be extracted from the veins of the leaves, but this compromises the medical use of the plant.
Other Uses
The body of the reed can be prepared for use in wind instruments (though it is, in fact, not typically used for any pipes).
