Sun orchid

The symbol of Thuvia denotes the sun orchid.

Sun orchids are rare flowers found only in the deepest parts of Thuvia's desert. Groups of hunters, with the support of numerous nomad camps, constantly range the dunes and oases to find them. Their nectar is the basic ingredient for the production of sun orchid elixir, a rare and highly sought-after item said to grant its imbiber immortality. A single sun orchid can sell for 500 gold pieces.
