Violets were a type of flower that grew in the Realms.[5]
History[]
The people of Waterdeep celebrated an annual holiday, known as Ahghairon's Day, during which they would place violets at various altars or plant violets in his memory at the House of Wonder, the Plinth, or his tower.[1][6][7]
Habitats[]
On Toril, violets were known to grow in Cormanthor, especially in the Starwoods where manticores often slept upon beds of them;[2] in the Purple Hills of Tethyr;[3] and in the land of Kara-Tur.[8]
A species of Cormyrian violet was used as a decorative houseplants potted and sold in Mulmaster.[4]
Trivia[]
- Hannya had a strangely strong aversion to violets. They would avoid entering homes that were surrounded by beds of them, avoid touching those who carried bouquets of them, and those who carried bouquets were also unaffected by their spells.[9][10]
- Violets were a favored plant of the deities Lliira and Loviatar, with the latter preferring dark violets in particular.[5]
