Helmthorn

Helmthorn was a hardy, vine-like shrub.
==Description==
The helmthorn got its name from large, imposing black thorns. The thorns could grow as large as a man's hand. Its indigo berries were often harvested to be either eaten or fermented into a helmthorn wine. Occasionally, the plant would sprout a spring of red berries.
==Usage==
Helmthorn thorns were used as needles and dart points.
Red helmthorn berries could be sold for 1 sp each. When the spell goodberry was cast on these berries, it lasted a day longer than usual.
==Locations==
Helmthorn was common throughout Faerûn.
Helmthorn brush grew dense in the Forest of Wyrms. It was also common in the High Thorog valley in the Nether Mountains.
