Just a Magic Lemon Tree...

MAGIC LEMON TREE (#30/31, #304/365) [TTHA] 

Appearance: This is a big strange-looking tree with twisted branches, dark green leaves, and large wrinkled lemon fruit, each with a smiling human-like face!

Distribution: Forests across Titan.

 

Effects: The fruit of the Magic Lemon Tree are renowned for their oracular powers. If picked from the tree, a Magic Lemon will answer 3 yes or no questions accurately if directly addressed. A Magic Lemon can be kept as a Plant Familiar, by Druids, Xylomancers, Plant Masters and the like, during or after the use of its oracular powers. It is not especially effective in combat, largely restricted to bouncing about like a small ball and biting things with a toothless mouth. However, Magic Lemons can be enchanted as a Familiar with magical powers, and can also be used as listening devices, being placed somewhere to eavesdrop on a conversation and, when retrieved, talk about it later.

 

Cost: City 12gp, Town 16gp, Village 20gp (per lemon)

 

Availability: Very Rare

 

Further Notes: The Magic Lemon Tree is a distant relative of the Lemonberry plant (see The Titan Herbal, p. 44). In ancient times, a Magic Lemon Tree was known from the Silver Elf village of Westwater, in the Kingdom of Karazan. The tree formed the backdrop for the throne of the local ruler, Lady Helena, who had enchanted the entire tree and its fruit into a Teleportation Spell of sorts accessible to those she deemed worthy, who had to count all the lemons in the Magic Lemon Tree to activate the spell. There are rumours currently swirling around the marketplace of Chalice about the existence of a similar magical tree among the Rainbow Ponds of Stittle Woad in the Forest of Spiders!
