After countless reworking on that root ball which is supposed to resemble a bear's paw, I can call this sketch done.
Bear Root is directly inspired by the cattails that grow wild in my neck of the woods. It is used in the same fashion, as a food source. The root ball is edible. The pollen makes a flour substitute that is similar to Arrowroot.
Bear Root was the first of the imaginary plants I dreamed of when I started thinking about what the Foresters would be eating if they didn't have access to flour like the villagers.
I haven't written any scenes yet with them harvesting and using it yet. But that will be happening in one of the books.
