The plant is not native to the Reach, but is cultivated well by the Reachmen. The Boneshapers use the vines in an unusual number of rituals, from lacing or growing them through the skeletons of their living sacrifices to shaping them into rough effigies before battle in mockery of life. Despite the use of the dead in several rituals, the Boneshapers forbid the practice of necromancy. On the other hand, the Bloodthorn Cult used the vines for a much more malevolent purpose, spreading them to corrupt the land and planting the seeds in the corpses of the dead to raise them as zombies. These vine-covered zombies lived in a painful state of undeath. The cult's leader, Angof the Gravesinger, suffered from a similar existence to the zombies after making a pact with Molag Bal, although he seemed to think that it could be reversed.

Brackenleaf's heart is a sought after relic as legends say the heart holds the power of Y'ffre, the same magic used to create the world.
