The Everliving Wood is dangerous but full of exotic resources with potent uses. The following are some of the Local Resources you may encounter and acquire during Tales of The Wood.
-
Blood Sap is found in the Overgrowth, a congealed, red mass that starts to form in soil and spreads all over, including down past the regular depth of a Morgue to link with the top layer of the local Mortis Amaranthine nodule. Its primary purpose as a resource was originally as a powerful necrofuel. It has since been discovered to also be a reagent in brews, such as the Gravevine Sap Brew.
Blood Sap in the Wood has “clogged” the reconstruction process of the Mortis, making it so that divers are needed to bring people back to the “surface” when they die.

This resource began to appear at the Cracked Bone Cavern Morgue in the Everliving Wood when it was greatly damaged by Blood Sap. These broken and porous crystals have the unique ability to soak Infection into themselves, storing it inside the crystal mass until it can pass into the Gravemind.

Gravevine is a plant spread through the Overgrowth but especially prominent in the Everliving Wood. A strong and spiky vine, it has divinatory and delirious properties depending on its state and preparation. The discovery and production of Gravevine Sap Brew to 'read' the local Mortis by the Pinback Lascarians of the Everliving Wood is the most prominent development recently involving Gravevine. Overgrowth Gravevine, for those that will withstand the dangers to gather it, can be used in various ways however.
Rumors are it has been used by enterprising Diesel Jocks with scrap as chains on their rides to better navigate the Overgrowth and other tough terrain in Lorado, word of the "All Terrain Violence Chains" is spreading as a new low-technological marvel of Loradan innovation.
