Borvél

Borvél is a fictional plant species appearing in the lore of several fantasy role-playing games. It is typically depicted as a bioluminescent flora that grows in subterranean environments, such as caves and underground forests. The plant's most notable characteristic is its soft, ethereal glow, which can illuminate its surroundings with a cool, blue or green light. This luminescence is often attributed to symbiotic microorganisms or a unique biological process within the plant itself.

The borvél is frequently described as having broad, translucent leaves and a delicate, vine-like stem. Its root system is said to be extensive, anchoring it firmly to rocky surfaces. In game narratives, borvél serves various purposes. It can be a source of light for adventurers exploring dark dungeons, a key ingredient in alchemical potions or magical crafting, or an indicator of specific environmental conditions. Its presence might suggest clean, mineral-rich water or a stable, undisturbed ecosystem.

While not a sentient being, the borvél is often portrayed as a fragile organism, easily disturbed by external forces. Some stories suggest that its glow can be harvested or manipulated, leading to quests or conflicts centered around its acquisition. The exact properties and appearance of borvél can vary slightly between different game settings, but its core identity as a glowing subterranean plant remains consistent.
