Distribution: Plains, forests and hills across northern Khul.

 

Effects: The Yellow Carrot is used extensively as a food and in cooking across northern Khul. A bag of Yellow Carrots is equivalent to one meal's worth of provisions.

When consumed, this potion allows the imbiber to see in the dark, as per the Darkseeing Talent, for an hour before wearing off.

Further Notes: A signature dish of the high-end Bushel Tavern in Arion is the Black Elk stew with Yellow Carrot crust, best served with a fine rose wine from the south (see Travels in Arion, p. 52).
