Height: 3'-5'
Width: 3'-4'

Locations: Found in the Orsa Isles, particularly Karsh. They grow exclusively in dark areas, such as inside caves and under the shadows of cliffs.

Rarity: Common, but difficult to find because of their location.

Lifespan: Several months to a year

Basic Description: A bio luminescent flower with purple petals and a grayish stem. Beneath the flower, small nuts grow in clusters. Typically, these flowers grow in groups. However, it is not too rare to find single flowers alone. The flowers are well-known for their glowing property, as well as the hallucinatory gas that they emit when the flower is open.

Special Attributes: Dream Hazel gains its name from the gas emitted when it is open. This gas can cause visual and auditory hallucinations and induce sleep with vivid dreams for any who inhale it in large amounts.

Furthermore, the plant emits a light in dark areas. When any sort of light shines upon the flower, the petals close themselves up. The plant will only open fully in complete darkness.

Medicinal Uses: The nuts of the flower can be crushed to make an incredibly powerful sleeping medicine. An overdose of this medicine can easily kill, so great care must be taken. The flower itself is toxic, and induces fever and nausea when consumed, but it is usually not fatal unless consumed in large amounts.
