Harvest Quilins are sparkling red in color, and their coloring brings to mind fresh vegetables and fruits as well as the lustrous colors of nature. Their magic helps all varieties of vegetables grow. With just a touch of a hoof, a vegetable will grow in size, and a touch of their horn makes the food multiply. Their powers seem to waxe and wane in strength with the seasons, and will be at its peak during the autumn equinox. They bond easily with other creatures, and are happiest when they are near a large group of other creatures, human or not. A common tale at the Keep is that a group of these Quliin, along with the Gatherer Quilin, arrived bearing enormous vegetables and fruits on their horns when the Keep was first founded, ushering in a tradition of an enormous equinox feast. The tale of the Quilin bearing food on their horns also began the symbol of the harvest, the horn of plenty.
As the nights lengthen, the harvest begins, and one of the symbols of the harvest in any city in the world is the appearance of the Harvest Quilin. No one can quite recall when they first appeared, but they are a predictable sight in autumn. Without fail, a group of Quilins will arrive just before the harvest begins, working their magic on the crops. Beneath their hooves, pumpkins and squashes will grow to incredibly large proportions, and vegetables like carrots and potatoes will grow enormous underground. Seeing these creatures always brings celebration, because people will know the harvest will be a good one. Once the harvest begins, the Qulins will help carry the crops, and the food they carry in their horns will magically multiply. They love the presence of people, and it is thought they help crops grow to ensure people will stay in a particular place in large numbers. However, they will also grow food and help harvest for other species when humans aren’t present, and there are tales of a variety of Quilin who help flowers grow to help harvest pollen for large hives of bees.
