Nothing like food to get the digest boiling again. :)

Based on the description of the Rune Spell "Sun Ripen" I had the idea = that
most Solar-worshipers planted their main crops in circular fields while = planting
lesser crops such as beans, tomatoes, sunflowers and potatoes in the = spaces
between.

Perhaps the Blue Moon connection explains why potatoes have eyes? And no doubt there is a Pent Ridge variety.=20

What sort of mythic connection would go with wild rice in the various = regions
where available? Not everyday food in Sartar or the Lunar Empire, but = common
enough around marshes and swamps.=20
