The Pangarian Spice-Run

CINNAMON (#19/30, #324/365) [TTHA] 

Appearance: This is a large tree with oval green leaves, greyish brown bark, and tiny white-yellow flowers.

Distribution: Islands in the Arrowhead Archipelago; Pangaria.
 
Effects: The bark of the Cinnamon tree is scraped off, cut up and dried into rolled-up pale brown stick-like strips and used as an important aromatic additive spice (see Encyclopedia Arcana: Volume 1, p. 87). For example, it has been added to the following: Cinnamon Milk Pudding from Pangaria, Cinnamon Men pastries made by Rondervan the Baker of Darkwood (and favoured by the wizard Yaztromo), the Orc Ale known as Grundel's Speshul Ree-Zerve (see Citadel of Chaos, p. 24), and also Medlar Wine (see The Titan Herbal, p. 48).
 
Cost: City 2gp, Town 3gp, Village 4gp (per bag of sticks)
 
Availability: Rare (Pangaria: Common)
 
Further Notes: Although the Cinnamon tree is found only on a few isolated islands of the Arrowhead Archipelago (and Pangaria), as a spice it is traded far and wide across Titan as a valuable commodity.
 
GINGER (#20/30, #325/365) [TTHA] 

Appearance: This is a reed-like herb with long green leaves and yellow flowers, and a rough, irregular shaped root.

Distribution: Jungles, hills and plains across Titan; Pangaria.
 
Effects: The dried root of the Ginger plant can be ground down to create an important culinary spice to flavour food (see Encyclopedia Arcana: Volume 1, p. 87). Ginger cream-horns and Gingerbread Biscuits, both specialties from the Pangarian island of Cumulus, add +1 STAMINA point when consumed, though this is not cumulative
 
Cost: City 1gp, Town 2gp, Village 3gp (per root)
 
Availability: Common
 
Further Notes: Ginger is found naturally in Hachiman and the Isles of the Dawn, and used in culinary preparations across Khul and beyond.
