Bloodvine Slopes

Grown on old siege hills, noble vineyard terraces, and war-fed river inclines, bloodvine roots seem to read the violence buried in soil. The fruit darkens almost black before harvest and can yield wines associated with memory, beauty, stamina, or obsession depending on cask, ritual, and moon. Some Barons cultivate it as a luxury crop; others fear it as a political intoxicant. Bats, silk moths, and red ant swarms cluster unnaturally around mature bloodvine country.
