Goblin Fruit
Goblin Fruit (a.k.a. Hedgefruit)
The Hedge is a cornucopia of strangeling life, and certain fruits harvested from it have abilities to heal, to help, to harm. They only faintly resemble mundane vegetation, and some may not look like plants at all. A crisp fine fruit resembling an apple may well hold a slimy, snot-like syrup in its crimson skin, while a revolting, maggot-writhing pustule may taste like the finest of faerie delights.
Some, like the viceroy butterfly, may well be harmless imitations of their poisonous monarchs. While finding fruit is child's play, finding the RIGHT fruit is the tricky part. Bound by their own obscure rules, some grow only in a single season, a single night, or a single hour every mortal century.
The information below includes all approved Hedgefruit for Fate's Harvest.
Each entry will show the plant's name, its relative rarity, a description of its appearance and properties, and, important to you gardeners out there, the number value assigned to it for Hollow Garden purposes. See the Merits page for more details on that particular HR.
