====== (WIP by Owlor) ======
Agave is a perrenial plant with thick fleshy leaves, filled with a sweet nectar. It is harvested by the Bika to make syrup for export, or for Kilicawe and Macawe, two of their indigenous drinks.
The heart of an Agave can live for a very long time, the Bika word for "century" is Agave for this reason, and it only blooms once during its lifespan, before it wilts and dies. However, it also sends out runners to make shorter-lived clones that themselves develop into a heart if the link is cut.
