#Jazbay Grape Plant

[merrimentsmight]

Cicero and Listener gathering flowers for Mother, then killing people who're bounty hunting the Listener and then just having a cute camp/picnic while still covered in blood,,,,, that's my favourite daydream of Cici

Mother needed dragon's tongue, Cicero said. He would always bring her flowers, and make sure they were fresh and fragrant. It was sweet, and it made him happy. The Listener suspected it made Mother happy, too. So they were picking dragon's tongue off the side of the road south of Windhelm. The Listener was being careful, picking only a few blossoms from each plant to keep them growing and healthy. Cicero was less calculating, and picked whichever ones he thought best, even if that was every flower the plant had to offer. When they had a full basket of flowers, the Listener rested, sitting on the side of a stone ledge, and began to pick wild jazbay grapes, popping some of the sweet berries into their mouth and adding some to the over-crowded basket.

Cicero kept gathering flowers. They watched him flit about in the late afternoon sun, mumbling and laughing to himself and looking, gods bless him, content. “And there was the one with the, no, no that won't do, too crass. Oh, terribly, terribly crass. But perhaps if I reworded it...” he mumbled to himself, following a train of thought whose beginning and end were as obfuscated to himself as anyone else. They were so caught up in looking at him that they didn't notice the quickly approaching footsteps on the road behind them, despite the fact that they were far from stealthy.

“Well!" said Cicero sharply, catching the Listener's attention, “It looks like we have company. Should Cicero set another place at the table?” The rest of the world came back into focus, and they hopped off of the ledge to stand next to him.

“Perhaps it's nothing," they said, as the group approached, "perhaps they'll just keep walking.” They both hoped that it was not nothing, and that they would be stupid enough to make trouble. They both got their wish.

“You! We know who you are,” said one of them, a thick-accented Dunmer near the front.

"Oh?” They asked, clutching the basket of flowers like an innocent youth. A sentiment undercut by Cicero's grim laughter.

“Yeah.” He returned, stepping dangerously closer, “and ever since what you did to the Emperor you've got a mighty fine price on your head, too.” He was in leather armor, as were most of his cadre, and the leather was from cows and not netches. They hadn't traveled too terribly far for the bounty. The Listener wondered how far rumors had spread, and who was spreading them. They had gone to great lengths to remove witnesses in the past.

“Do you have proof, or are you going to execute me on your hunch alone?” They asked.

“Please. You have the jester with you. There's only one little redheaded jester in all of Skyrim, far as I know, and he's your one.”

“Oh! Cicero feels terribly special,” he said, knives already drawn. But he did like that idea of possession, that even strangers knew who he was, and who the Listener was, and that he was theirs.

The Listener smiled in that way they did, sharp and nasty, that made Cicero's heart start beating even faster than the thrill of the impending fight did. The good name of the Dark Brotherhood had been tarnished so badly that these poor men had no idea what they were up against. The man reached for the sword on his belt, and Cicero, like a well trained attack dog, pounced.

He cut the man's throat before anyone knew what was happening. A spray of blood issued from the wound and covered Cicero and the Listener and the basket of flowers, which the Listener set gingerly behind them before drawing their own weapons and advancing to join Cicero in the throng. They made quick work of the rest of the bounty hunters, who reacted slowly, as if they had been expecting the assassins to surrender when outnumbered.

“Mash and bash and swipe and clash! Ha!” laughed Cicero, sidestepping to avoid overturning the discarded baskets of flowers, “nobody gets the best of the Dark Brotherhood.” The Listener allowed themself to laugh with him. When it was all said and done, they were ringed by the bodies of the dead and dying, sitting among the flowers and leaning on each other to laugh like children. By the time they stopped fighting, and then stopped laughing, the moons had come out.

“Oh,” said the Listener, pushing away from where Cicero had clutched them in his helpless mirthful peals, “I suppose we'll have to set up here for the night.”

“Mmhm,” said Cicero, still giggling. He lowered his bloody head onto their lap and popped a blood-splattered grape from their basket into his mouth. “Whatever you say, my Listener.”

Virana Flower Crowns

Because as much as I'd love to go into all the flower crowns I have in mind, my girls come first WHEEZE

Vigdis: snowberries, deathbells, gleamblossoms

Snowberries represent Vigdis' childhood. For those of you that have read Petrichor, you probably remember that her father used to call her 'little snowberry.' Not only do the berries reflect this, but their red colour is akin to the shade of blood. She feels that her father's blood will forever stain her hands; that she is at fault for what happened to him. Deathbells are symbolic of her life after her father was killed. She was involved with bandits for over a decade, where she became numb to human emotions and murdered many people. The transition from the red of the snowberries to the cool violet of deathbells also represents her life losing its once vibrant colour. Deathbells are also found in Morthal, where Vigdis' journey in Petrichor begins--so while they symbolise the passing of one aspect of her life, it also marks the beginning of another. Gleamblossoms are found only in the Vale. In Petrichor, it's Serana that notices them for their strange beauty in such a dark place and admires them, briefly unaware that, for a moment, Vigdis watches her do so. The flowers ultimately represent Serana herself for Vigdis, for the vampire has become this soft, unexpected light in the hunter's darkness. It's also one of the moments where Serana starts to truly break through the thick walls Vigdis has constantly kept up to protect herself. It's a symbol of hope for them.

Serana: jazbay grapes, harrada, gleamblossoms

Before you yell at me and tell me I should've used nightshade or deathbells, hear me out. Jazbay grapes are a purple berry plant found in Eastmarch, in the volcanic tundra. They grow nowhere else, as they are extremely difficult to cultivate. The grapes, then, represent Serana's struggle to thrive while living in Volkihar Keep. Her parents had expectations that she felt she could never meet, and thus, suffered for it. However, like the jazbay grapes, she persevered--although she ends up paying a very heavy price for doing so. Harrada is a thorny plant found in the Deadlands. I chose this plant to represent Serana's connection to the Daedra, and thought this plant was also fitting because she eventually does obtain Mehrunes' Razor in Petrichor. I find it rather fitting that a previous worshipper of Molag Bal ends up with the Prince of Destruction's dagger, especially since Serana more or less destroys everything her family once stood for. The sharp thorns are also symbolic of the pain her decisions ultimately cause her. And, of course, the gleamblossoms. Vigdis is the same unexpected light to Serana, who approached the vampire hunter because she saw no other way to stop her father from enacting his plans. It symbolises the relationship that slowly blossoms between them, which both most likely had considered impossible. But of course, even in the darkest places, life is hopeful, and always finds a way to thrive.

What does each province like to put a lil bit of in their water to make it taste better (lemon, mint, etc.,)

Drinking plain water is the most common way it's consumed across Tamriel, but you are indeed correct that many enjoy flavouring theirs for a bit of perk during the day, or to wind down in the evening.

Altmer

Fresh flower petals, especially jasmine and rose, are used to add some delightful aroma to both still and sparkling spring water in Summerset. The gentle floral fragrance can take a bit of getting used to, but it's quite relaxing (and delicious with gin)!

Argonians

Argonians value their potable water sources, and very rarely add anything to it. However, some enjoy an infusion of cucumber slices in cold water, which is the perfect drink to moisten the scales on a hot day!

Bosmer

Exceptions to this trend are the Bosmer, who prefer their water pure. Not to mention that meat-related water infusions are generally called a broth...

Bretons

Fresh fruit, especially raspberries, apples, and lemons, are High Rock's choice when it comes to flavoured water. Sometimes the fruits are muddled, making it more of a diluted juice than water.

Dunmer

Comberries and fresh marshmerrow sticks are a cup of water's best friend in Morrowind, especially on a hot day. Comberries impart a slightly bitter flavour, almost like tonic water, while marshmerrow imparts a lightly sweet, candy-like aroma. Both taste great still or sparkling.

Imperials

Herbs and aromatic plants are the most common infusions in Cyrodiil, such as rosemary, mint, and lemon verbena. Jars of water are infused overnight with fresh herbs (lightly crushed to release the aroma), and chilled or served with ice. They can sometimes be a bit pungent, but still enjoyable.

Khajiit

Moon sugar aside, the Khajiit love flavouring their water with fresh vanilla beans and rose petals. This sweetly scented beverage is great for any time of day, and is wonderful both warm and chilled.

Nords

Juniper berries, jazbay grapes, and lavender are a Nord's choice for flavoured water, though we'd honestly rather just have mead instead. These plants are relatively easily obtained across Skyrim, and impart relaxing aromas that are best served as a nightcap.

Orcs

The Orsimer of Wrothgar flavour their water with wrathberries, which are both peppery and bitter. The end result is a warming drink that burns like whiskey going down, but doesn't contain a drop of alcohol. Perfect if you've caught the chills, especially with some ginger.

Redguards

Like the Bretons, coastal Redguards love using fruit to flavour their water, like fresh coconut, pineapple, and mango. However, Alik'r Redguards prefer mixing cactus slices or aloe vera into their water, which gives it a refreshing, sour twist.

Did You Know: It was once considered treason to pick a Jazbay Berry without the permission of the emperor, due to the limited environment the plant could grow in? The fictional book series about the adventures of Eslaf Erol would go so far as to claim the emperor himself needed permission from the Elder Council to have but a single glass of Jazbay Wine a year. Efforts to save the species from extinction came at the cost of the Jazbay's legendary flavor, and harvesting its grapes was decriminalized.

Herbalist’s Guide to Skyrim

Herbalist’s Guide to Skyrim

by Agneta Falia

✲•······················▃🖋️······················•✲

Those avoiding this northern province due to claims of barbarism or concerns over climate are doing themselves a disservice; in fact, Skyrim has a wealth of materials that every Alchemist would do well to avail himself of. I have traveled extensively throughout this land, and here are but a few of my findings.

✲•······················▃🖋️······················•✲

Bleeding Crown The caps of these mushrooms do indeed appear smeared with blood, though it is often hard to see in the dark, damp places in which they grow. Not uncommonly found in Skyrim, their abundance is countered by the difficulty in acquiring them. As any experienced herbalist knows, the darkest of caves often conceal far more than mere mushrooms. Nonetheless, these potent fungi, when combined with certain powdered antlers, produce a mixture rendering one quite susceptible to poison. Their usefulness is also quite apparent when mixed with Lavender, creating a substance highly resistant to magic.

✲•······················▃🖋️······················•✲

Deathbell Folklore abounds about this flower found in the swamps of Hjaalmarch. Some stories claim it grows where unfortunate deaths have taken place, others insist it grows first and then lures unsuspecting people and animals to their doom. I have found no direct evidence to support these stories; indeed I found the flowers difficult to locate at all. While it is most well-known for its use in poisons, it would be remiss to overlook that the blooms of Deathbell are very effective in mixtures for boosting one Alchemy skill.

✲•······················▃🖋️······················•✲

Dragonfly A surprising number of insects survive in Skyrim’s climate, many thriving in the lower, southern areas of the province. Dragonflies can be found in a great many places, and while catching them can be a daunting prospect, the reward is well worth the effort. It was beyond the scope of my research to determine whether the orange and blue dragonflies are fully different breeds or merely simple color variations, but through experimentation I found that the orange dragonfly, when combined with the very hardy barnacles found along the coast, transfer some of their flighty nature, giving the herbalist some very nimble fingers.

✲•······················▃🖋️······················•✲

Hagraven Claw The claws of a hagraven are best obtained in shops; it is inadvisable to suggest one collects them oneself. These creatures have traded in their humanity for access to powerful magics, and the transformations they undergo infuse their entire beings with some element of that power. Ingesting the powdered claws makes one more resistant to magic, but an especially curious property of the claws is revealed when mixed with snowberries (often found in Skyrim’s higher elevations). I found myself capable of comprehending enchantments I had believed mystifying after ingesting the mixture, and have passed this knowledge on to several court wizards who were grateful for the knowledge.

✲•······················▃🖋️······················•✲

Jazbay

There was a time when it would be considered treason to pick one of these grapes without express permission from the Emperor himself. It is my understanding that although growers in Skyrim were successful in improving the fruit’s survivability, it came at the cost of flavor. No longer is it quite the prize it once was. And yet, growing amidst the volcanic tundra of Eastmarch, it is still immensely useful for concocting potions. Mages value it highly as it can be combined with simple garlic to enhance the regeneration of magicka. While no longer against the law, picking these grapes in large amounts is best kept to oneself.

✲•······················▃🖋️······················•✲

Luna Moth Wing

As with the dragonflies, I was taken aback by the number of butterflies, moths, and other insects that manage to thrive in Skyrim. The Luna moth is especially beautiful; its thin, almost ephemeral wings seem too delicate to hoist anything into the air, giving them an almost magical appearance. Indeed, that sense extends to the properties they exhibit when crushed and distilled (an action I admit was difficult to perform at first, no matter my resolve to discover all that Skyrim has to offer. These creatures are simply that beautiful!) While they can be used for creating poisons that damage magicka, I feel that would be a waste of their potential. Do not be alarmed if, when the wings are broken down almost completely, they appear to almost disappear under your mortar. That very quality makes the wings quite effective in potions of invisibility!

✲•······················▃🖋️······················•✲

Tundra Cotton

Not all Nords are savages wrapped in animal skins, howling at the moon. There are a wide variety of fabrics worn throughout the land, thanks in no small part to the stubborn Tundra Cotton plant. It soaks up what rain it can in the plains west of Whiterun, and blooms frequently. While it does not exhibit any of the more striking alchemical properties, it is a staple in potions for not only fortifying magicka, but for resisting spells as well. I wonder if that quality is what allows it to have adapted so well to this climate.

✲•······················▃🖋️······················•✲

Nightshade

The name and shape of this plant are known to all; long understood to be one of the more potent components in many poisons, the average Nord keeps his distance from the bright purple flowers nestled among dark leaves. It is exceedingly effective as a pure poison, but can also be combined with other compounds to stiffen joints as well. It is thus favored among those who wish to disable their opponents in battle, and can be found coating the blades of many of the more unsavory characters in Skyrim.

a daughter twice over

new skyrim fanfic!  serana contemplates her family, her transformation at the hands of molag bal, and what to make of undeath. content warning for implied/referenced rape. ao3 link here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/19127668

the garden is the thing that has changed the most. when serana was human, the months between when she would plant the seeds and when they would emerge seemed like forever. even when she grew past a child’s impatience, she would still pace the garden, longing for something she could see happen.

what would seem like forever now? would anything? or would the course of each living thing seem no more than a blink?

she expected the cold and the thirst, the claustrophobia of the coffin lid closing in on her compared to a four-poster bed, the nightmares of molag bal that came afterwards. but the garden had always been a refuge. her mother taught her how to know the mushrooms had enough shade, when the hanging moss was ready to be picked and powdered, how to ward off birds from the jazbay grapes. when the chanting swelled within the cathedral and left a lump in her throat, she would clear the moist dirt from the canis root. when the twentieth would roll around and she would see volkihar allies, aunts, cousins, all offered up – all ripped apart – and know her own day came ever closer, she would kneel by the mountain flowers and slowly breathe in their scent.

three weeks ago, she spent a night in the thrall of molag bal, performing a calculated submission. oh yes, the old texts insisted that to become a daughter of coldharbour, one must submit completely, but all the old texts had been written by men, men who would never have to degrade and endanger themselves in the way she would. besides, she had been at her mother’s ceremony. serana had seen the hard glint in her mother’s eyes as she ascended to the font, how her mother had knelt before molag bal before the daedric prince had time to force her down. so serana too had come before the daedric prince with her head deliberately lowered, her neck deliberately protected from molag bal’s raking claws, and her face deliberately arranged in a mask of both filial and cultish piety.

a bitter humour snakes through her when she thinks of those cultists, them and harkon alike. each dark priest insisted only he knew what it meant to glimpse the heart of domination, of power, of cruelty, that only he truly had the ear of the master they all served. after all their pontificating, they knew nothing of real sacrifice. serana knows the truth, now; that to understand the meaning of power, one has to be the one pinned helpless underneath it.

when she awoke she rose shaking and alone from the icy flagstones. she was a daughter twice over now, she had to be, so where was the power that had been promised her? where was the surge of might, the speed, the eternal vitality pulsing through her? she knew only a parching thirst, one so overwhelming she barely had the presence of mind to drag herself to the great hall. and even when she had drank deep, of the blood hot and thick and salty and so like the haunches of beef she ate before (and yet not, her mind shrieked at her, not anything like those), the revulsion and confusion swelled so large that she could only stagger to a coffin and huddle inside. the darkness reminded her of how when molag bal touched her, she could see and hear nothing but him and his cloud of night, how she had no way to tell if time was passing or if she would spend eternity here, in this moment, being humiliated and violated and hurt in front of everyone she knew.

that night she barely slept.

and now serana walks out here, beneath the moons, and looks down at the plants. on a whim, she picks a nightshade flower off its stalk and eats it. as a human, its poison was so strong that she could not even inhale its scent too directly when working with it. as a vampire, it tastes bitter, but does not affect her at all. she goes over to the sundial, the one her mother says she wants to replace, and pulls at one of the metal digits embedded deep into the cobblestones. it pops out as easily as a weed.

the clang of her dropping it reverberates in the quiet of the courtyard. she could plant an acorn, and watch the entire lifespan of an oak tree. she could run experiments over days and weeks and months without ever pausing for rest, learn to bring life back to any dead thing she cares to resurrect. she could be mighty enough to explore ruins she has only ever read of. she summons lightning into her palm; not directing it at anything, just watching the crackles of power circulate. for the first time since her transformation, she tastes just what energy unending could be.

another sound carries into the courtyard. her parents are still arguing. when she left the great hall to come out here, it was over who else to change. her mother wanted to establish a court, a network of allies and useful pawns that they could gradually swell and spread. harkon believed their power should be kept tightly locked within their bloodline, that abilities spread were abilities diluted. serana quenches her lightning and looks around at the garden. molag bal is still at the back of her mind. but so is the map of skyrim in her almanac. so is every undiscovered magical secret. so is every secret of the world, of other people, only a boat ride away.

[tastesoftamriel]

All the races celebrated in different ways, I'm thinking festivals and things like that. How do their festival foods differ, in what and how its served?

Oh, how I love festivities, mainly for the food! Every corner of Tamriel celebrates with their own regional dishes, whether it's a summoning day or New Life!

Altmer

People across Tamriel celebrate Heart's Day on 16th of Sun's Dawn, but the Altmer truly outdo themselves in the hopes of attracting luck and love for the rest of the year. In addition to traditional treats like sweetrolls and candied rose petals, you'll find an array of sensual themed delights to enjoy throughout the day. Prosecco and raspberry mousse, chocolate-dipped strawberries, apple blossom choux puffs, and lychee and rose gelato are just a few treats you can enjoy!

Argonians

Argonians celebrate many festivals, but bonding rituals are particularly special. Couples are expected to...frolick quite vigorously, so a big feast beforehand is a must! Villages spare no expense when it comes to food, as these bonding rituals are usually political as well. Enormous seafood barbecue spreads are particularly common, boasting everything from lobster and grilled clams with chili sauce, to marlin sashimi, watercress and seaweed salad, marsh vegetables with saltrice, and lots of the finest caviar and oysters (aphrodisiacs, of course).

Bosmer

The Wood Elves are the undisputed masters of the Jester's Festival, celebrated on 28th of Rain's Hand. Be careful of what you choose to eat during this time, because in addition to seasonal delicacies like cheesy rabbit schnitzel and milk pudding, there will likely be pranks galore to go with. If you keep your wits about you, you'll be able to taste dishes and snacks like tarantula satay, wild boar sausages, timber mammoth milk custard, and bantam guar pie with a thunderbug carapace pastry.

Bretons

In Glenumbra, on 8th of Sun's Dusk, locals celebrate the Moon Festival in honour of Secunda, and is an evening of feasting and merriment. As the holiday falls at the end of the year, feasts include many preserves and a few seasonal dishes such as seafood gratin, spiced sweet potatoes, turkey stuffed with dried fruit, and many types of cakes and pastries.

Dunmer

Prior to the Red Year, and in more recent times since its rebuilding, the Dark Elves of Gnisis host a feast in honour of Saint Rilms. Rilms was known as a patron of beggars, and as such food is offered to the downtrodden. You'll find hearty foods like ash yam dumplings, scathecraw sautéed with bittergreen, fried saltrice with kwama eggs and ash hopper, saltrice and marshmerrow porridge, comberry tarts, and hot melted scuttle pies.

Imperials

The Imperials celebrate the Mid Year Festival on 16th of Mid Year, where traditionally tax increases are announced. To ease the disgruntled populace, feasts and food markets pop up across Cyrodiil, with all the choice that the Province has to offer. Whether it's mini sweetrolls on sticks or pancakes with roast goose and plum sauce, you'll probably find your favourite fare on offer! Think treats like coffee liqueur trifle, wild boar pastrami sandwiches, sun-dried tomatoes and bresaola with chili oil and buffalo mozzarella.

Khajiit

South Wind's Prayer, on 15th of Morning Star, is celebrated in the hopes of a good planting season across Tamriel. The Khajiit, especially in fertile Southern Elsweyr, observe the day by tidying, fixing farm equipment, preparing their seeds, and of course, feasting. The remains of the last year's crops, especially rice, fruit, and moon sugar feature heavily in dishes. Eggplant and beef tagine, roast chicken with root vegetables, grilled prawns on moon sugarcane skewers, rice noodle soup, and moon sugar pastries of every kind are just a sample of the dishes on offer.

Nords

On 13th of Sun's Dawn, Nords, especially those in Windhelm, celebrate the Feast of the Dead, where the names of Ysgramor's companions are recited (yes, all 500 of them). As you can imagine, this is quite tedious, but the feast is well worth it. I really love the mead-soaked fruit cakes that are a very distinct dish of the day! You'll also find things like lamb and juniper berry stew, jazbay grapes with cheese and cured ham, spiced sweetbreads, venison pie, and all the bread and butter you can eat.

Orcs

Malacath's summoning day is on 8th of Frostfall, and is understandably a big celebration for many Orsimer. Traditionally, feasts are held which feature the best Orcish cuisine, and in huge amounts! Ale and beer flow freely, whole bulls and goats are roasted on the spit, mammoth or timber mammoth meat and cheese is very likely to be present, and traditional delicacies like smoked bear paw and harpy brains are just some of the things you'd expect to find.

Redguards

The Redguards of the Alik'r celebrate Fiery Night on the 29th of Sun's Height, the hottest day of the year. To stay cool, festival goers enjoy a range of chilled snacks and drinks to while away the time until the cool night sets in. The night itself features a lively feast, which celebrate all things about the sun. Stuffed vine leaves with rice and pulled goat meat, cucumber and mint salad, pilaf with raisins and nuts, and cold fruit salad are just some of the dishes you can expect to find.
