Though it is commonly believed that Wilhelmina Corinne Bardway discovered wormwood when she invented the ghoulwood viola, nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, she got the idea for her most infamous invention while puffing away on her "modern" vlorm. As the smoke-induced visions began to unfold in her mind, she saw how Memories might be trapped in the ghoulwood and how they might be released through sound before mouldering, trapped in wormwood. It is she who taught us here in Ghyll however, that ghoulwood is only available from dead and neglected wood, that it can be harvested from dead trees or ghost buildings, and that it devolves into wormwood.
The process for finding, harvesting and using wormwood for art and pleasure comes to us from the Journals of Alarius, who used wormwood in his fresco at the Palace of Lost Souls. It is the psychoactive and theoalchemical properties of the wormwood that produces the now famous visions associated with his work. What else could have you believe you are standing at the point of creation looking below at the universe just created?
Also used in Vlorm construction.
Its highest peak is Kluvat Peak (7.07 lunanits) located at the south-western edge of Jorvll. The mountains are rich with Pziqq trees which generally mark the sites of rich mineral deposits.
