== Ophilia's Wares == | Though she has not yet passed middle age, Ophilia's weatherworn and tanned skin has the appearance of old leather. She is quite cheerful however, suggesting that she isn't one to worry about appearances. Her long black hair hangs behind her in a loose, leather-fastened braid, and she wears a simple sack dress of tan-coloured wool streaked with dirt and grass stains. Her enormous leather [[packs|knapsack]] is filled with scientific instruments and botanical specimens; occasionally, Ophilia will take a small [[journal]] from this sack and jot down a few notes in it, tucking it back away when she is finished. | ||

;Grim-looking boutonniere - 450gp : Destined to adorn a fine suit or surcoat, this boutonniere is made up of a single black rose nestled in many thin looping ties of willow. The boutonniere, however, does not seem to darken its wearer's visage, instead seeming to stand proud in remembrance. | ;Grim-looking boutonniere - 450gp : Destined to adorn a fine suit or surcoat, this boutonniere is made up of a single black rose nestled in many thin looping ties of willow.

Its petal colours are indeterminate, as an array of transparent swirling colors on its surface change by the second. Gaze into the crystal long enough and an image of the Cyrenian clock tower and [[Blu]] at Centre Crossing will appear and fade in and out. It's a wonderful piece of Cyrene to take with you on your journeys elsewhere. | ||
;Edelweiss boutonniere - 450gp : Precariously hand picked from the Southern Vashnar mountains around Cyrene, this white perennial is relatively small but radiates white purity gathered in the small bouquet that makes up this boutonniere. Worn by soldiers throughout Sapience, it symbolizes the bravery, able-bodiness, and seriousness of the wearer. | ;Edelweiss boutonniere - 450gp : Precariously hand picked from the [[Vashnars|Southern Vashnar]] [[:Category:Mountains|mountains]] around Cyrene, this white [[:Category:Perennials|perennial]] is relatively small but radiates white purity gathered in the small bouquet that makes up this boutonniere.

;Cyrenian iris boutonniere - 450gp : This elegant iris is vanilla-white, with gold speckles scattered throughout its slender petals. The perfect form of the flower radiates both class and style. Giving off a slight cinnamon scent, the boutonniere is the perfect addition to all formal attire. | ;Cyrenian iris boutonniere - 450gp : This elegant iris is vanilla-white, with gold speckles scattered throughout its slender petals.

;Vashnarian snowdrop boutonniere - 450gp : This boutonniere is truly for the discerning Vashnarian gentleman. It consists of a rare Vashnarian snowdrop with six delicate, pure white petals fading into blue where they meet. Long, bright white stamens and pistil bloom up from the centre of this flower. A silver clasp has been fastened to the back of the blossom, allowing it to be worn on a dress jacket. It gives off a crisp, clear scent, reminiscent of sweet mountain air. | ;Vashnarian snowdrop boutonniere - 450gp : This boutonniere is truly for the discerning Vashnarian gentleman.

;Ice maiden bellflower - 150gp : Blooming only on the highest peaks of the Vashnars, this humble flower embodies the soul of long Cyrenian winters. Its stiff petals form a bell-shaped chalice of glittering silver. As the light touches their candid surface, a million reflections are cast all around by the thousands of minute crystal shards absorbed as the flower gently fed on mineral rich soil. Several hair-thin, clapper-like studs wave freely inside the crown, lightly bumping against the inner walls and producing faint but clear notes which expand, vibrating in the air. | ;Ice maiden bellflower - 150gp : Blooming only on the highest peaks of the Vashnars, this humble flower embodies the soul of long Cyrenian winters.

;Winter aster - 150gp : Unlike others of its species, this flower only survives in Cyrene's icy winters. Thick dark green leaves sprout from a surprisingly tender stem, long enough only to pop the flower's head above the snows. The petals are thickly clustered and stretch out to sharp points as though they were iced blades. They lie flat around a pure white center. Each petal is long and thin, very dark blue with a line of pale sky blue along the length of the middle. | ;Winter aster - 150gp : Unlike others of its species, this flower only survives in Cyrene's icy winters.

;Glacial white rose - 150gp : Each of the five snowy white petals of this stunning rose are soft and silky to the touch. A frosted blue colour decorates the center of each petal, adding a shimmer as you gaze at the flower. The long stem is a beautiful cobalt blue, devoid of thorns or other protrusions. | ;Glacial white rose - 150gp : Each of the five snowy white petals of this stunning rose are soft and silky to the touch.

;Simple mountain rose - 150gp : Soft and clear dew beads atop the delicate petals of this flower, texturizing their otherwise perfectly smooth texture. The rose is slightly peachier than white, so subtle the colour that it would seem pure white in failing light, a unique hue that marks it as being a hardier breed. The stem has been carefully cut and dethorned, coming to a sharply angled point at its end, transforming what was once the plant's defense into a fine place to hold the plant, place in a vase, or grip in one's teeth. | ;Simple mountain rose - 150gp : Soft and clear dew beads atop the delicate petals of this flower, texturizing their otherwise perfectly smooth texture.

;Delicate diamond rose - 150gp : Crowning the end of a long bluish-green stem adorned with heart-shaped leaves, a delicate rosebud seems to be on the verge of blooming. Its petals are a faint icy white in colour, lined with a touch of platinum shine. Folding onto each other in a delicate spiral, they are as soft as silk to the touch and air thin, so that light actually shines through them, weaving the illusion of a flower carved from a pure diamond. | ;Delicate diamond rose - 150gp : Crowning the end of a long bluish-green stem adorned with heart-shaped leaves, a delicate rosebud seems to be on the verge of blooming.

;Shimmering red tulip - 150gp : As light reaches the tulip, its crystalline form builds upwards, giving off an air of translucence and dreams. The erotic edge of the flower is accentuated as your eye reaches its peak. The tulip's stark redness evokes the intensity that is true love, along with its pain and forevermore plight. And still, a subtle strength vibrates from it, causing it to never falter in the wind. It gently shimmers, and lets off a scented euphoria that kisses the nose and pleases the lips. The smell is strong yet subtle, recalling sweet memories of the past. Yet the stem remains rough, a reminder of the mortality of life and its pleasures. | ;Shimmering red tulip - 150gp : As light reaches the tulip, its crystalline form builds upwards, giving off an air of translucence and dreams.
