Exotic sure. Of any value at all to the Orlanthi? Doubt it. Raid the heavily guarded caravan - little funny smelling brown bits of dried plant. Must be valuable because it was guarded. But how to sell it?

My understanding is that the Virgin Mary always has a blue hood thing in paintings because blue paint was the most expensive. Blue wool must have been valuable because some poor sod had to handle the pee to bleach the wool and the foul-smelling woad (Note to any of you who have orlanthi who have used the brew woad skill - read T. Chevalier's Lady and the Unicorn for an idea of the effects of doing so). well, not really.
Sam.
