Bellflower

Bellflowers were plants grown in elven communities. They were cultivated for smell and melodic sounds, but also served as a beautiful alarm system.

"Tone deaf, as are all gray elves."

- a sun elf assassin, assuming the moon elf guards failed to notice the change in bellflowers' tune.

Description
Bellflowers chimed a faint tinkling music in the wind. The melodies were different based on the wind's direction and intensity.

Habitats
Bellflowers could be found in Evermeet, especially in the gardens around Moonstone Palace, as well as in other elven settlements.

Usage
Bellflower gardens were designed to catch the slightest breeze, making the plants tinkle constantly. Any intruders passing through created a disruption in the air flow, altering the melody. The change could remain unnoticed by the intruders, but be as alarming as a trumpet's roar to the heightened senses of the elven guards.
