Decorations (2/5) Many Speranzans have become surprisingly adept at the art of bringing beauty and greenery into the home.
Presents (3/5) Crafty Speranzans have turned the candleberries into a wealth of gifts. These include perfumes and soaps, as well as gifts unrelated to the recipients odors.

Meals (5/5) Though candleberry leaves are bitter, simmering them in stew and soups adds a touch of earthiness that nostalgic Speranzans have grown to love.
