Directional Daisies are peculiar flowers originally found in regions rich with ore and precious minerals, most notably in the Tormek Mountains. Their natural affinity for mineral-heavy soil led the dwarves of Tormek to use them as reliable indicators of where to dig—after all, if Directional Daisies grew in a spot, valuable ore was likely buried beneath.

In these harsh, mineral-dense environments, the plant evolved to survive by absorbing excess metals from the soil into a singular, large, pointed leaf that sprouts from its stem. This distinctive leaf has a rusted red color and a metallic sheen, resembling oxidized iron. Even more remarkably, the metallic leaf always points toward True North, aligning with the planet's magnetic field. If a Directional Daisy absorbs too much metal over time, its magnetic leaf will eventually snap off, making way for a new one to grow. These fallen leaves, still magnetically aligned, are often collected and used as natural compasses by savvy wanderers and adventurers.

The discovery of this trait led to the plant being transplanted across the country, especially along crossroads and major roadways, where they serve as a navigational aid for travelers.
