A rare and delicate beauty. Do not confuse this with your run of the mill Moonflower. Your typical Moonflower is white and can be found in various places throughout the Emerald Ring. Unlike most flowers, they bloom at night. This, along with their petal shape, size, and number, are the only things the common Moonflower shares with its cousin, the Silver Moonflower.

True to its name, the Silver Moonflower is not white, but a lustrous silver that sparkles even in the darkness, where it grows. These rare beauties can only be found in the deepest parts of the Lunar Woods, where the canopy is the thickest and the forest is at its darkest. It is only here, on moonless nights, may one find an elusive Silver Moonflower.

Even if you were so lucky as to find such a treasure, you must take care when handling it. First, the flower cannot be wrested from the earth, even by a delicate hand. It must be cut at the stem, just above the soil, by a sharp, swift blade made out of silver. If successfully extracted from the earth, great care must be taken to avoid letting any daylight touch the flower. It should be transported in a dark, secure container, if possible. If any sunlight should fall upon a Silver Moonflower, it shall wilt and die in a matter of seconds, and this is why they are so difficult to find and highly sought after by collectors.

There are two legends about the Silver Moonflower that are prominently known throughout the Eastern Wilds. In addition, throughout the City of Lanta, the Silver Moonflower is feared as a bringer of disaster.

The first myth tells us of the Nameless One, a great black dragon that stirs the clouds of the Tumultuous Plains with its massive wings. Supposedly, this dragon covets the Silver Moonflowers, which can only be found far to the east of its home. When one of the wild storms from the Tumultuous Plains breaks free and travels east, towards the mountain, it is supposedly the Nameless One hunting for Silver Moonflowers.

The second, related myth where the Silver Moonflower makes an appearance is the legend of the Stormrider, which involves a brazen young boy who took it upon himself to bring the dragon the flower which it coveted. As the tale is told, the dragon recognized the boy for his courage and decided to bless him with a portion of its power, birthing the Stormrider, a mythical figure that appears before the wicked and warn them to change their ways.
