They produce a composite body with multiple “fingers”, often fused together with the outer ones curled and the central fingers erect. They were adopted as a symbol of the Mother Church in the fifth century ME, symbolising a fusion of human form and virid plant. They are a common feature in temple gardens or pandatas, and representations of them are common in Theristplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigMother Church of Ororr (Therism)

The Mother Church is the state religion of Ororr, which combines both religion and government in one institution. It is based on the teachings of the Great Prophet Therion, who in the early decades of the modern era raised an army that conquered much of northwestern OrorrOrorrOrorrOrorrMEOrorrMEMEOrorrOrorrHerHerHerHerHerHerHerHerHerher
painting and sculpture. Double-handed varieties are the most prized, since they replicate the Therist prayer pose.

The “hands” are naturally a yellow or purplish colour, but have been selectively bred for their size, shape and colour, red being the most popular variety. Botanically they are not fruit at all but a means of attracting insects and small animals to a pocket in the “palm” of the hand, containing seeds.

They are edible to some virid animals but mildly toxic to humans.
