Valentine in his indoor alchemy garden gathering ingredients from a plant known as the Strixbane.
The alchemy garden is located in the basement of the shop!

Strixbane is a hardy, biolumenecent plant that is a staple ingredient involved in many alchemical recipes in Cendrillion; many of which are used and sold in the shop! They prefer the dark with very minimal light each day. They tend to grow much better indoors and underground.

Similar to cat eyes; the strixbane will begin as blue but gradually turn green as they age. However, they'll also lose their potency, so it's best to weed them out.

Fun fact; The soft glow attracts Lumen Moths at night which help pollinate them. Val's always making sure there's a good supply of healthy Lumen Moths to tend to the plants.
