Region 4: The Raveling Flat

A desert situated in the rain shadow of the mountains to the east (region 5), this flat, dry coast is the only known habitat of the Three-Leafed Crown, a ground-hugging shrub.

The plant releases a fibrous mass that carries seeds with the wind, clumps of which can be harvested from rocks or other obstructions that snag the strands. Weavers then spin the strands into 'desert linen'.

The root system of the plant, dominated by a tap-root that burrows deep for ground water, can be harvested to create 'desert silk', though doing so risks killing the plant, and so the silk is highly coveted while its source remains a guarded secret.
