Heikei Mushrooms

These mushrooms are known as Heikei mushrooms, and are found in the Pevyse forest. This forest seems to grow all plants to enormous sizes, with the great trees of the Pevyse settlement being the most well-known. These mushrooms are of similar stature, and grown in a unique formation, one atop the other. Gnomes of the Heikei forest live in these great formations, using them as homes in a manner similar to elves and Pevyse bandearg. Some hollow out the mushrooms while others use them as a tentlike shelter, building small huts beneath their caps. The mushrooms require thicker walls, thus providing smaller homes than an elven-built tree home made from a similar-sized tree.

Ice Cream Tree

There are rumors of a tree in the far North, near the town of Towerkuns, that grows ice with the consistency of ice cream. A local druid has grafted several saplings onto it, using powerful magic to allow tropical fruits to grow in subarctic temperatures. The tree now grows ice cream in the flavors of each fruit, including orange, chocolate, and mulberry. The chocolate nuts were rather simple since they typically grow in mountainous regions, but the success of the orange ice cream branches was nothing short of miraculous.

Ellerie Forest

The Ellerie Forest was one of the first wonders humans witnessed in the natural world. The trees there are so dense that only luminescent mushrooms keep the forest lit. The blue Seawing butterfly’s wings absorb the light of the mushrooms and glow for a short time after landing on a mushroom, while reflective pollen from the surrounding trees sparkles through the air.

Flower-Hide Forest: elves, flowerhide forest, flora

The leaves of most plants in Flower-Hide Forest are purple. Elves from that region can’t see the color purple, but instead see a grayish color when they look at something purple. Because of this, the rare green leaves are prized, and these elves tend to become fascinated with the colorful foliage in other regions.

Kamaya Trees

The Kamaya tree has deep wine-colored trees year-round, but they turn a pale orange-red during the fall before the leaves drop. Forest-dwellers make a crude magical wine from it, and the Winery has never found a way to make a non-magical wine from them.
