SCAWWY 😱 tomi

In the earliest recordings of the Language of Flowers, foxgloves symbolized riddles, conundrums, and secrets, but by the Victorian era they had devolved into the more negative symbol of insincerity. Foxgloves give us digitalin, a glysoside used to treat heart disease, and this powerful plant has been used for heart tonics since Celtic and Roman times. However, the plant is poisonous if consumed directly, and can cause a number of health problems.

Oh, are you from somewhere more... [ slight pause. um. ] -- Rural?

You can say I'm a hick, s'fine.

Backwater as backwater can be, at least in the Riverlands. I'm kinda getting used to nobody knowing where that is, though.

[cashcab]

Well that's kinda vague. Lots of lands with rivers.

...

Y'know, I guess that's fair. Riverlands, Cliftlands, Woodlands, Coastlands... Frostlands, Flatlands... man, we really went with a real dumb naming theme, huh.

[cashcab]

Dumb but to the point. We call the island of Hawaii the 'big island' since it's the biggest in the chain, so I guess I don't have a leg to stand on.

I mean, at least it's a name that means something instead of "hey, this is the land of rivers!"

Shucks, I grew up in Clearbrook, and it's got brooks and streams and rivers all around it. Not real creative. Figure Flamesgrace probably got named that because that's where the main cathedral of the Church of the Sacred Flame is.

Okay, but Flamesgrace sounds pretty cool. The name, anyway, I can't really speak to the church stuff.
