About

Direct from the blessed soil of Elysara comes a single, displaced specimen of the Caudex mnemosyne. Unlike the "killer plants" of sci-fi tropes or the death-worlds Burners are familiar with, this Pachycaul-like organism is not a predator—it is a scavenger. Enlightenment is a biological curiosity that harvests the one thing humans possess in toxic excess: unwanted memories. It survives by metabolizing your regrets and the heavy weight of the past. Some specimens have learned how to communicate. The flower is around six feet in diameter and has attractive lights to lure entities in range. Like Terran plants which provide fruit and shelter - Enlightenment provides shelter, light, and a place to rest while it feeds on your unwanted baggage.
