Cultural Significance (Alliance)

Objectives
Learn the importance of sea stalks from people in Boralus.
 * Ask Provisioner Fray about Sea Stalks
 * Ask Flynn Fairwind about Sea Stalks
 * Ask Joseph Furlong about Sea Stalks

Description
I've noticed your skill with harvesting plants has improved, but I also noticed that you just treat each flower and leaf as a commodity. The flora of these islands have a rich history, with a deep cultural significance to us.

Take this sea stalk, go around town, and ask some of the men and women what it means to them. Humor me, and I'll make it worth your while.

Progress
What did they say?

Rewards
You will learn: Herbalism Technique: Sea Stalk (Rank 2)

Completion
Sea stalk has a unique magical property that allows the stalk to provide the flower water, even if the flower is cut off.

Sailors will give their loved ones a flower and keep the stalk on themselves, so if they fall over board, the salt water kills the flower. What you hold is more than a stick, it's a family member's life.

As for your lesson, unlike most other magic plants, the best material to harvest for magical essence is the stem, not the leaves or flower.
