Eloise in the Silent Market

Eloise is pleased to see your wizard in the Silent Market of Khrysalis. The Marleybone Royal Museum loved her Aztecan Flower Exhibit so much that they have commissioned another exhibit. Upon learning that Khrysalis is a dangerous world, Eloise asks if your wizard will help her collect Khrysanthemums. Hopefully the museum will send her someplace safer next time.

Chrysanthemums (Chrysanthemum indicum), sometimes called mums or chrysanths, are flowering plants of the genus Chrysanthemum in the family Asteraceae. They are native to East Asia and northeastern Europe. Most species originate from East Asia, and the center of diversity is in China. Countless horticultural varieties and cultivars exist.

The Bastion Khrysanthemum

The genus Chrysanthemum are perennial herbaceous flowering plants, sometimes subshrubs. The leaves are alternate, divided into leaflets and may be pinnatisect, lobed, or serrate (toothed) but rarely entire; they are connected to stalks with hairy bases. The compound inflorescence is an array of several flower heads, or sometimes a solitary head. The head has a base covered in layers of phyllaries. The simple row of ray florets is white, yellow, or red. The disc florets are yellow. Pollen grains are approximately 34 microns.

The name “chrysanthemum” is derived from the Ancient Greek: χρυσός chrysos (gold) and ἄνθεμον anthemon (flower).
