[medaeval folklore] So I just picked up a load of primo cinnamon from an Arabic trader, and he told me the chiseling bastards get the stuff from phoenixes. What role does cinnamon play in the phoenix lifecycle? Am I sprinkling bird shit on the duke's dinner?

Well, the phoenix has a keen sense of smell and is particularly fond of herbs and spices. Each time it lands, it collects pieces of cinnamon bark and all kinds of fragrant leaves. It tucks some in among its feathers and carries the rest in its claws in order to craft a nest out of these materials. The trader probably got some of the cinnamon from the bark that lines a phoenix's nest, since its much harder to find the trees on your own.
