* **Yield:** Approximately 12 liters of Vitalhoney every 10 days
**All Harvesting Methods Share:**
- Same pre-harvest requirements and safety precautions as Bloomjuice harvesting
- Same calming, positioning, incision closure, and post-harvest care steps

6. **Shortened Sapper Lifespan:** Estimated reduction of 10-15 years due to excessive eating
**XIV. Sapper Skipping Harvest due to Fear or Desire for More Liquid**
* **Definition:** Avoiding gentle harvesting to produce excess liquid or due to psychological fear
* **Consequences:**

**XV. Popularity of the 3 Different Liquids**
**CORRECTED Popularity Rankings in Glorpbloom Society:**
1. **Bloomjuice** - **MOST POPULAR** (58% demand)
* Enhances baby Glorpblooms' strength by 20%
* Highly valued for future warriors, builders, athletes, and laborers - essential for village development
2. **Nutrilixir** - **SECOND MOST POPULAR** (22% demand)
* Boosts baby Glorpblooms' intelligence by 25%
* Desired for future scholars, leaders, inventors, and strategists
3. **Vitalhoney** - **LEAST POPULAR** (5% demand)
* Increases baby Glorpblooms' growth rate by only 18%
**XVI. The origin of Glorpbloom**
Approximately 2,500 years ago, a young Orc named Krozug lived in a tribal village.
* He ate a strange, glowing berry called "Xylara's Tear" from a hidden forest clearing.
* Initially, nothing noticeable happened to Krozug.
* However, his body began to change: his belly swelled and remained rounded despite normal eating habits, earning him mockery from fellow Orcs.
A duel was declared, and Krozug was challenged.
* During the battle, his opponent's sword struck his swollen belly.
* Unexpectedly, two fluids gushed out:
1. A vibrant, orange liquid later named **Bloomjuice**, which seemed to enhance strength.
2. A crystal-clear liquid later named **Nutrilixir**, which appeared to boost intelligence.
Later generations of Krozug's tribe discovered a third liquid, **Vitalhoney**, which increased growth rates.
**Over time, Krozug's tribe evolved into a new species: the Glorpbloom Orcs**
* Characterized by their ability to produce Bloomjuice, Nutrilixir, and Vitalhoney.
* They developed unique physical traits and abilities tied to these liquids.
* The Glorpbloom Orcs thrived, establishing villages like Bloomhaven, and becoming integral to the fantasy world's ecosystem.
**XVII. Liquid Effects on Adult Glorpblooms**
* **Bloomjuice:**
+ Increases strength by 5% (compared to 20% in youth)
* **Nutrilixir:**
+ Boosts intelligence by 8% (compared to 25% in youth)
* **Vitalhoney:**
+ Increases growth rate by 4% (compared to 18% in youth), mainly noticeable in bone density and minor height increase.
Adult Glorpblooms can still benefit from these liquids, although effects are significantly reduced compared to their youth.
**XVIII. Sapper Probability in Male Glorpblooms**
* **Chance of storing liquids:**
- 80% of male Glorpblooms born can naturally store **all three liquids** (Bloomjuice, Nutrilixir, Vitalhoney).
- 20% lack this ability.
* **Becoming a Sapper:**
- Males with liquid storage ability can choose to become Sappers (harvesting and producing liquids for the community).
- Many males with this ability pursue other careers like warriors, hunters, or craftsmen.
* **Female Glorpblooms:**
- Unable to store any of the three liquids naturally (0% chance).
- Females play other vital roles in Glorpbloom society, such as healers, leaders, and caregivers.
This correction shows that storing liquids is innate for many males, but becoming a Sapper is a career choice.
**XIX. Unique Glorpbloom Infant Care**
* **No need for breast milk:**
- Female Glorpblooms do not produce breast milk, as it is not biologically necessary.
* **Males provide essential nutrients:**
- The three liquids produced by male Glorpblooms (Bloomjuice, Nutrilixir, Vitalhoney) provide all necessary nutrients for baby Glorpblooms.
- These liquids are mixed in specific ratios to create a perfect infant formula, promoting healthy growth and development.
* **Females focus on emotional care:**
- Female Glorpblooms focus on providing emotional nurturing, bonding, and care to their young, while males handle nutritional needs.
This unique aspect of Glorpbloom culture allows for interesting social dynamics and family structures.
