A Continental Botanical Index for Travel, Survival, Magic, and Culture
Flora in Tamriel functions as infrastructure. Crops dictate power, sacred groves dictate law, and alchemical plants dictate risk. Every province expresses ideology through what it cultivates, protects, weaponizes, or forbids. This index consolidates known, implied, and logically necessary flora by region, emphasizing repeat-reference usability for narration, survival rulings, ritual context, and environmental storytelling.

Flora is law, economy, weapon, and prayer. Empires fall by grain shortages. Gods communicate through trees. Rituals depend on petals grown under moons. To understand Tamriel is to understand what grows where—and who decides whether you may touch it.
