The sea-poppy is a magickal plant found in the depths of the Great Land Sea. Technically, it is classified as a type of algae, or kelp, but it more closely resembles a lovely blue flower. The flowers are illicitly harvested by octopodes and the occasionally helpful mersprite, and brought to fisherman on the water's surface.
Like elvish pipe-weed, the sea-poppy is consumed for recreational purposes - however, its magickal effects and method of consumption are quite different. Dried sea-poppy flowers are crushed into a fine powder that is ten baked into tiny, delicious cakes, but it almost never smoked raw. When eaten, the cakes cause a languid euphoria, often accompanied by hallucinations. The use of sea-poppies, though outlawed, is said to be quite popular among the artists and dilletantes of Opleneer.
