Description

The golden wheat of Aedelore feeds nations. Tall stalks bend heavy with grain come harvest time, painting the fields in shimmering gold. This crop forms the foundation of civilization, for without bread there can be no lasting settlement.

Cultivation

Plant in early spring after the last frost. Requires well-drained soil and adequate rainfall. Harvest in late summer when stalks turn fully golden. Rotate with legumes to maintain soil health.

Uses

Ground into flour for bread, pastries, and countless other foods. The stalks serve as bedding for livestock and thatching for roofs. Fermented grain produces ale and spirits.
