laevadele

Laevadele is a fictional plant genus created for the fantasy setting of Eldoria. It is described in worldbuilding texts and role‑playing materials as a perennial shrub adapted to wetlands. The name is used in‑world to refer to the single widely recognized species, Laevadele serrata.

Laevadele plants are evergreen shrubs reaching 1 to 2 meters tall, with narrow, lanceolate leaves about 5–10 cm long, blue-green above and bronze underneath. The leaves are arranged alternately. In late spring, panicles of small bell-shaped flowers—typically pale lilac with a citrus fragrance—appear. The fruit is a winged capsule that ripens in summer, releasing tiny seeds.

Laevadele is native to marshy wetlands of Eldoria's southern coast, often along rivulets where groundwater remains cool. It tolerates waterlogged soils and morning sun. Pollination is primarily by hawk moths; seed dispersal occurs through water flow. The plant forms mycorrhizal associations and can colonize disturbed sites, contributing to wetland stabilization.

In Eldorian folklore, laevadele is linked to memory and rivers; craftspeople use its resin as a varnish, and its leaves are described in traditional remedies in fictional ethnobotany. In game literature, it serves as an ornamental plant and a source of mild alchemical components.
