Cabbage seeds

Hail Brassica Prime, lord of deliciousness and nutrition! Within these tiny seeds rest all the power of creation, ready to burst forth into spherical orbs of crisp deliciousness.

Guthix once encountered Brassica Prime when he wandered the moors of Ashenfall. On a strange outcrop, beneath a waterfall that reflected the silver moonlight, he spied a cabbage so large and so full of nutrition that he was briefly stunned at its magnificence.

When the cabbage spoke, the god of balance found himself quite at a loss. According to the cabbage, he was the lord of all vegetables, and keeper of the ancient secrets of a balanced diet, seeing some small kinship in Guthix’s search for harmony. They spoke long and strange conversations, deep into the night, about the nature of magic, divinity and, of course, food.

Brassica’s stories changed every night. Each moonrise offered a new excuse for his divinity, and new lessons on how he had supposedly shaped creation itself, by mixing together the base vitamins needed for the universe to thrive.

Mad, perhaps, or just composed of an alien way of thinking, Guthix took some small comfort in his strange new friend. As such, he made a point of having his druids sow cabbage seeds in every field, and around all his settlements, so that Brassica might be honoured in some small way.
