Tippens Root

|
Tippen's Roots are the roots of a plant which blooms purple flowers, which are sometimes called the flowers of Tippen. It was named after the botanist that had first discovered it around hills and in dense forests. The locations where it grows are not kind ones, as they grow besides fallen trees, but as well next to carcases of animals and great bugs. The purple flowers give a nice contrast when compared to the death around them. The roots are yellow in color with spots accentuated a bit more darker. Many carry these roots around, as they have great medicinal use. It's greatest obstacle is it's smell, which is worse than the carcases which they grow near of.

Description
A dark-spotted yellow root with purple flowers.
Habitat and distribution
Hills and in dense forests, beside fallen trees and animal carcasses.
Harvesting
The flowers of Tippen’s Root contain no symbols nor raw effects; all of its properties are contained in its roots, which in turn must be crushed into a salve for use.
Cultivation
Tippen’s Root can be ‘farmed’, also; when planted amongst decaying wood, either along a felled tree or by simply mixing sawdust with soil, the root will stem up and be harvestable as wild if allowed a tepid and regular sunlight.
Uses
When its roots are crushed into a salve, Tippen’s Root releases a foul odor akin to rotten eggs, making it difficult to handle without suppressing one’s sense of smell. In this form, however, the root also serves as an effective coagulant, blocking blood flow on flesh-wounds within seconds after application.
