Authlilioum Field is located at the top of a verde, a flat topped mountain. There are not any taller mountains near it, so it receives sun all day. This makes it an excellent place for farming, even though the verde is only ten acres.
During most of the year, farmers grow many different sorts of vegetables and fruits that normally cannot be grown anywhere else in the Ragerrook Mountains. Then once a year, all of the plants shrivel up and die. This never happens at the same time and is a very unpredictable occurrence. A week later the Authlilioum flowers bloom and die all in one day.
The Authlilioum flowers look like ordinary lilies, except that they are either pure gold or pure silver. When they bloom, they cover the entire field to the point that you can't walk across the field without stepping on at least one. There is no pattern as to which lilies are gold and which are silver. Sometimes, there are more gold; sometimes more silver; and sometimes the numbers are equal. When the lilies bloom, the farmers, who normally farm the land, charge admission onto the field. They then charge you for the amount of lilies you have as well as what kind you have. There are strict measures of security on the field at this chaotic time. All those found guilty of stealing so much as a petal must work for the farmers without pay.
