The rare calactydacus plant was deemed extinct after being overharvested by the inhabitants of Bytheria in 456 A.D.

A Great Power

Calactydacus is beleived to have produced a silky-white oil that was very flammable. The oil was primarily used to heal the wounded and was also used as a form of fuel to burn in lamps. Eventually, Bytherian military scientists purified it by extreme pressure from grinding it between two hard stones. The result was a liquid fuel so powerful and harmful, that it possessed enough flammability to burn 10 square miles of woodland in a single day. According to ancient Bytherian texts, this gas was called Chloctanaine. After intnense and thorough testing, it was discovered by Bytherian Scientists to have the ability to burn on top of water. Therefore, it is from this source that the Ancient Bytherian weapon known only as "Oscral" is thought to have come from.

Oscral

This potent liquid was similar to modern day petroleum, in that it could burn on most anything. The Bytherians used it mainly for their war purposes of burning the enemy into submission. It is unknown as to how the ignited the liquid while throwing it on the enemy, but its mehtod is thought to have been derived from the similar weapon called Greek Fire.

Because of these valuable uses, it was eventually overharvested and died out. Accoriding to modern horticulturists studying the plant,
