The Ranger Herb Pouch
  R angers with this small leather pouch have learned the skill of herblore.  Herbs are commonly found through foraging and a large number can be stored within the pouch. However, while becoming one with the earth, Rangers have become addicted to the herb known as Mai. When a Ranger goes too long without consuming Mai, they will suffer the effects of withdrawl.

Herblore skills:
o   Make salve from the ashes of a Ranger fire. 
o  Plant seeds that will grow into useful herbs. 
o  Forage for those same herbs and more.  At first a Ranger might
   only know how to forage a few herbs, but as his/her experience
   grows and other Ranger skills are acquired, the Ranger will add
   more and more herbs to his/her list. 

Herbs and foragable items:
Food This isn't much, but it will help to keep a Ranger alive.
Sea 
   Cucumber*
  Found growing along the rock clusters found scattered over the sandy bottom of the Blue Sea, this green squat vegetable is named after its dry land cousin.
Toadwart 
 Mushroom**
  This small, green-brown mushroom is covered by little wart-like growths. On quick inspection it resembles a small toad, hence the mushroom's name. It is also interesting in that there is something about the mushroom which repels insects. Things wiped with it are just ignored by stinging swarms and pesky insects.
Mai   Mai is very rare. You are unsure of what secrets it holds but you have heard that the Mai'Sunni tribe in eastern Threforfar holds this plant sacred. You can consume it if you like.
Salt**   Not your normal table salt, this salt crystal can be used by those Rangers with survival training to 'salt' or 'cure' hides and carcasses in order to help preserve them better with time.
Moss   A soft lump of green moss. You recognize that it has healing properties when chewed, and can also be used to hone a weapon's edge.
Whetstone**   This particular stone is very useful to Rangers. Those who have learned how, can use this whetstone to 'whet' damaged weapons to take the nicks out and restore them to a better condition.
Coral*   This chunk of hard coral feels tough, and grainy in your hands. You understand that it is used by the Merfolk from the Blue Sea to hone the edges of their weapons.
Quinta   This small leafy herb is rumored to bring one awareness and relieve mental fatigue if chewed. The thick green leaves seem to have a sheen all their own.
Tuber*   Growing in patches among the coral reefs of the Blue Sea, this dark tuber is about the size of your finger and made of some very strong fibers. Because it is full of such rich juice, many underwater folk have taken to chewing the Kransco tuber, since it is too tough to completely eat.
Tea   Collected and stored in individual packets, it takes only a few of the rich, green tea leaves to brew some tea over a fire. Hot, steaming tea is known to be very refreshing to the body and helps to sooth the mind. It is rumored that the Wise (Mad) woman of the Foxhole Forest, Trisa, can see the future in the dregs at the bottom of an empty cup of tea.
Kelp*   Kelp is commonly gathered in small clumps. The green, underwater plant is rather soggy, and mushes easily. The Merfolk of the Blue Sea use it to make medicinal paste, but it is otherwise not wise to eat.
Pepper**   A Ranger forages a small group of pepper seeds at a time that just fit in the palm of one's hand. Pepper has an earthy, spicy scent and when crushed it adds to the flavor of freshly cooked meat. Be careful, as it can be nasty if you get any thrown in your eyes.
Moonflower   This small flower has 9 petals, each looks like a tiny cresent moon. Knowledgable Rangers know that this rare flower can be eaten, or delicately applied to fresh wounds.
Hemlock   This is a rather small sprig of that deadly plant, hemlock. It looks harmless enough, and could be eaten if you are feeling rather suicidal. A skilled ranger can brew it, producing a steaming, pale liquid. A touch of mint is often added to help it go down easier.
Pearl Berry*   Found growing amongst the seaweed forest on the edge of the Great Rift of the Blue Sea, this small white berry greatly resembles that for which it has been named. Thriving on the volcanic gases, these berries are said to effect the mind when eaten, and the juices bestow the very strength of the core of the earth to things that are smeared with it.
Heeselk This is a root of the herb, Heeselk. It is very rare and found only in remote parts of the Northern Woods of Threforfar.
*  The Merfolk Tattoo must first be gained to forage these herbs.
** Woodlore skills must first be learned before able to forage these herbs.
