Blue Bilva

The blue bilva (or blubee) is a rich, sugary, and aromatic tree fruit that originated on Reisse (Rhetor III). Fibrous in its natural state, the vivid turquoise flesh of the fruit clings to a large black stone that is so hard it must be cracked through mechanical means. Some artisans on Reisse use powered tools to carve the stone into intricate sculptures that they sell to new students for good luck. Blue bilva forms the base of the locally popular brandy B3.
