The Black Orchids are a beautiful but deadly species of fauna known to grow in the Eastern Ring. More specifically, these tend to be found around the Misty Mountains. These flowers are rare to find in great numbers, as they have excellent medicinal properties. Harvesting the Black Orchids is not without its pitfalls, though. They must be handled with care, as their pollen is an intoxicant able to put even sizeable animals to sleep in a matter of minutes. This special property is the reason the flowers are sought out in the first place – they are a primitive, yet effective anesthetic.

There is one place where the Black Orchid can be found en masse. This location is known as the Wall of Sleep, a huge construction of stone encircling the fortress atop Blue Mountain. Here the Black Orchids grow in great abundance around the wall. Many who have ventured to visit the Wall of Sleep have disappeared, never to be found. The fortress protected by the Wall of Sleep is rumored to be the home of a powerful witch, but no one has ever managed to confirm this.
