Cloves are a lucrative spice only growing in the Vyzemby isles of Fahvanosy off the west coast of Sarhal. The spices began spreading across the market in the 1500s when Cannorian contact was made with the halflings native to the island.
Harvested from aromatic flower buds when they turn bright red from their original pale hue, cloves are one of the Vzemby halflings' oldest culinary treasures and have been subject to many wars to control their production. With the growth of the South Sarhal sea trade, they've become extensively used in cuisine across the world, spreading to Aelantir and Cannor via Vernman traders in the west, and to Haless via Arawkelin and Bulwari colonists.
