Flora and Fauna

On some of the really great sims we have been on we have seen pages that identifies the indigenous plants and their various properties along with some interesting uses. Although this is most often used for crafting with a HUD, we wanted to include some information here regarding the plants and animals of Telacia and how they may be used for either food, medicine or more nefarious purposes. Of course you have no reason to use this information unless you want to, its mainly to make the whole world feel more real and immersive. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE INFORMATION HELD HERE IS FICTIONAL AND NOT TO BE CONSIDERED MEDICAL OR CULINARY ADVICE.
