Spirit Fire

The Men of the region surrounding the Lonely Mountain risk many dangers to gather this tall, thin reed, as it has a tremendous ability to lift spirits and impart renewed vigour to weary limbs. Spirit fire is highly sought-after throughout Middleearth, and the Men of Laketown rely on its trade for much of their income. Competition for prime gathering areas is both vicious and intense. Business rivals have been known to resort to swords when their jealousy and resentment grow too strong for words. The Orcs of the Misty Mountains also use spirit fire in their foul liquors. Bands of those creatures frequently sally forth to gather supplies of the herb, making an already dangerous trade more perilous.
