It's only an idea right now. I'll need help developing it.

It's bark. from a tree. When you put it in your mouth and chew it, the fresh juices make your tounge feel a little numb and cold.
This is not the reason why you chew it, though.
The juices make you feel more awake and relaxed. If you chew a big dose of it, though, you'll loose all feeling in your tounge and probably end up lying on the floor gazing in to nothing, with a sheepish grin and a facinated look in your eyes.
It's addictive.
If your only mentally addicted to it you tend to fumble a lot and be nervous when you're not under effect of the bark.
When you're physiccally addicted, the muscles in the neck tense up and you get intense headaches when not under effect of the bark.

This could be the bark of an existing tree or I could make a new one.
I don't know how developed the languages here really are, so I haven't made any names yet.

you know, that sounds vaguely like the Coca plant. Ancient Indians and present-day native field workers chew its leaves and it's meant to give you energy and relax you at the same time. Now grown mostly in Colombia, and condensed into an Illegal substance. Probably heard of it, Cocaine.

I didn't know anything about the actual effect of cocaine before now...
Though I did know that it was initially an ingredient in Coca Cola. Made people much more addicted than some people are today (to Cola, that is...)

Anyway, my bark's a little different. Should I make it more different?
Or is it good as it is?

it's good as it is. I mean. I was just pointing that out!
If you can find a true plant in the real world that relates to what you want to do, you can easily base if off of it. knaa'meen?

Sorry, been gone a few days.

So... It's approved, then. How should I go about getting it
in shape as a proper entry?

well!
It's not too hard.
You start by making a new topic, Titling it exactly what you want the thing to be named. Then there is the " How to do Beastiary Entries" thread. As the Beastiary and the Herbarium we just recently split into seperate forums, they are still rather similar. That will give you the basis of ALL plants here. Fill in the spots, post it, and people will begin to comment.
There you can edit or rewrite as you see fit from the comments, and then your plant will go up at the main site!
Create three or more items at the Site, and you'll become a Team member, and recieve your own little page with a Bio about yourself! Really spiffy.

So that's how it works.

I'll do it as soon as i can...
Real life has been interfering quite often lately.

As for the name(s). I just make one up?
I know very little about the languages here.

well, kinda.
You can make one, using sounds that you like. Or use the Regular language to make a word that desrcibes it. Or you could get deeper by finding words that desribe it and then translating it itno Thergerim or Styrash.

No human languages, then.
I'm thinking that I'll place the plant in the plains of Zum in nybelmar.

so I'll just make a name out of sounds I like. :)
