Traveller's Joy

Traveller’s Joy is a flowering shrub originating in the coastal North along the coast of the Inner Sea but having been cultivated along roadsides across Creation during the time of the Shogunate. It can be recognized by the soft white tendrils hanging from its tiny fruits, which together have the appearance of feathers or hair.

Traveller’s Joy, when prepared in a tea, provides mild relief from stress, while its leaves are popular food amongst many insects such as the Spidermoth. Its stems can be woven into ropes or baskets, and are slightly poisonous… weavers wear sturdy gloves to avoid rashes when handling the plant, but favour it for certain applications (particularly binding grain sheaves) as the poisons repel rodents and pests.
