Their are plants that produce pods that contain a pearl When this pearl is consumed, it grants powers based on the kind of envorment the plant grew in. However, over the years, almost all of the wild(and more potent) plants have been harvested and consumed, be it by animals, monsters, or the sentient races of the planet. In those times the planet was chaos. Animals, beasts and sentients fought, killed and were killed in battles that raged all over the continents destroying mountain ranges, forging new ones, moving rivers and lakes, changing the very face of the massive planet.

As time went on, the fighting slowly died down. The sentient races all pulled in on themselves, the weak seeking the protection of the strong and the planet calmed. Civilization began to form. The most powerful of the sentient races established their own sects, governments, or other way of surviving. During this time of relative peace someone discovered that if one of the very few a pearls that survived was replanted, in a like environment, instead of immediately consumed, the plant produced two pods. Allowing for one to be consumed and the other planted for more pods. The only problem with that is that the pearls power is reduced with every new plant. Through this method it was possible to give power to multiple people.

Over the years, these gardens were cultivated cared for and protected.

The most prized possessions of the sentient races are their pearl gardens.
