# Introduction Botany is the study of plants in nature. This study focuses on the identification and handling of trees, flowers, seeds, mycelia, fruit, and all manner of plants and related plant life. This study understands the best ways to nurture or kill plant life, extract value and safely handle it, and understand the nature of its growth and spread. Botanists use [[Botany Set|Botany Sets]] to collect and preserve most of their specimen. Botany allows a researcher to make checks against a local loot table. This loot table is determined by biomes, time of year, and region modifiers. Contemporary Botany has been influenced by the [[The Atheneum|Atheneum]] study of [[Gaiatics]]. # Calendar and Seasons Plants grow and are harvestable at different times. Botany uses the [[Coligny Calendar]] seasons to define the periods of time when plants are most likely to be found. Certain plants can also only be found during specific weather conditions. # Biomes - [[Jungle (Botany)]] - [[Desert (Botany)]] - [[Thicket]] - [[Plains]] - [[Woods]] - [[Swamp (Botany)]] - [[Coast]] - [[River]] - [[Lake]] - [[Mountain]] # Regional Modifiers ## Humidity - Arid - Vapid (Default) - Humid ## Magic - Sublunaric - Mundane (Default) - Cryptic - Mystical - Enchanted - Ensorcelled - Thunderkissed (Any magical region) (additional modifier) ## Exotic - Volcanic - Polar - Mycolic - Subterranic - Aquatic --- See also: [[Botany Supplement]]
