Cherry Grove

Postby Nij on July 13th, 2012, 11:32 pm

Cherry Grove


Specific Location: In between Thunder Bay and Mt. Skyinarta
Accessibility: Anyone who can find the path.
Relevance to WR: Food source, recreation

The Cherry Grove is a common spot for dates and picnics, especially in the Spring time. All year round a sweet smell is in the air, and cherries are ripe during the late Spring and early Summer. The trees seem to form a perfect circle, with roots intertwining and forming hollows beneath seemingly solid ground under them. They could provide easy shelter in times of dire need, but no one has ever seen someone living there. It's believed that someone planted them so close together, but no one can remember when they were planted. The trees are the only known trees that grow Kima cherries, which are very sweet and make delicious pies. It's also the only known habitat of the Chakama bird, whose song is almost as sweet as the cherries.

The whole grove has a romantic air, with the sweet scent of the Kima trees and the song of the Chakama birds. It's said that the entire grove is blessed by Cheva, and that just the area promotes love.

Even in the winter, the cherry grove is a beautiful sight, with the Kima trees almost like dark silhouettes against a white sky. Even then, the scent of Kima blossoms fill the air, despite the obvious lack. The Chakama still sing their sweet song all year round, making this a popular spot no matter the season.

Chakama Bird

Postby Nij on July 14th, 2012, 2:43 am

Image
Chakama Bird


Type of Creature: Bird
Frequency: Rare - Only in the Cherry Grove
Major Features: Pink breast, love of Kima cherry pits
Abilities: Flight, Head changes colour when cherries are ripe, beautiful song
Most Common In: the Cherry Grove in the Unforgiving
Summary/Abstract: The Chakama Bird is a very interesting creature. Instead of eating the cherries, the bird instead feasts on the cherry pits. Its oddly shaped beak can pick out the pits without disturbing the cherry, making them easy to eat, even for small children. It has a pink breast and green outer feathers, almost blending in with the cherry trees, while the head is usually a faded blue. When the cherries are ripe, the blue head feathers are shed and within a day, new, dark pink feathers replace them. They last until the last cherry is picked, or they become overripe, when they're replaced by the blue feathers. Males and females are indistinguishable.

The Chakama's song is interesting in the fact that it seems to promote romance and romantic thoughts, making the Cherry Grove a common place for dates or picnics between lovers. The Chakama bird is often called the Lover's Bird because of their song and the fact that they mate for life. Even their eggs are a dark reddish colour with light pink speckles, matching the cherries and cherry blossoms. They lay their eggs at the same time the Kima cherry trees are flowering, and lay 1 - 3 eggs a year. Baby Chakamas are fluffy and light pink, blending in with the cherry blossoms. This further ties the Chakama birds to the existence of the Kima cherry. Some say the bird is blessed by Cheva, even.

Kima Cherry Tree

Postby Nij on July 14th, 2012, 3:22 am

Kima Cherry Tree

Image

The Kima Cherry tree is well enjoyed by the Inarta. They're found only in one place, the Cherry Grove. The cherries are incredibly sweet, and make excellent pies and other baked goods. The cherries are also abundant, with almost 4,000 cherries per tree during the late spring and early summer. Most people who come to the Cherry Grove to enjoy the cherries will discover that most of them seem to be pitted, courtesy of the Chakama Bird, who eats only the pits.

The Kima cherry tree has dark, almost black branches, that contrast highly with the light green leaves and pastel pink flowers. They're quite a beautiful site, but all attempts to cultivate them outside of the Cherry Grove has failed. No one is exactly sure where they came from, as no one remembers planting them or somehow accessing the seeds. The flowers can be made into a potent perfume that almost anyone may find irresistible, and it makes good money collecting many petals and turning them into perfume to sell to traders. The perfume can be very expensive. Rumors have it that the Kima cherry tree was blessed by Cheva, which contributes to the romantic air that the trees have, but few actually know for sure.

The scent of the Kima blossoms still lingers even after all of the petals fall, and it's said that the beautiful perfume is infused with even the bark and the Chakama birds themselves.
