Concept art of a Rotoa tree.

We have two indexes of all the flora that can be found on Atys:

• One exclusively on intelligent plants,
• And the unaggressive flora detailed by ecosystem:

This section lists the flora of Atys as it appears to the laymen homin. Note that many of this 'flora' isn't even really plants, but actually fungi or even immobile animals. But you'd have to dabble in botany a bit before you realise this.

The flora you may run into varies immensely based on the ecosystem of the continent you're in. Only a few plants appear in multiple ecosystems (like the Olansi tree that appears in both desert and lakelands). Thus the flora is classified by ecosystem.

The savaniel is a 25 to 30 feet tall tree with spiny twigs, bearing orange leaves which immediately turn red in the autumn and whose short petiole is very resilient.

It is perfectly adapted to the aridity of the Burning Desert and its silhouette is characteristic: a broad round crown, gnarled trunk, tortuous and rather short, often made of several intertwined parts.

Extremely hard, savaniel wood is used as timber but as firewood too, as it burns especially slowly.

Its crushed bark is applied as an ointment because of its antiseptic properties. Its leaves, when burnt, give off a pleasant scent that makes the insects flee.

Paradoxically the nuts of its small fruit are used to produce perfume and body oil while its flowers are insignificant and hard to spot in the foliage. The fyros hominas make great use of savaniel oil. It sometimes happens that the use of a poor quality oil changes the subtle fragrance of the savaniel into an acrid, rancid smell.

Fyros Legend

The Great Tree is immortal, and its ashes, once cooled, regain their vitality. From the ashes come flowers and fruits. The flora spreads towards the sky in the hope of reaching other planets.

Matis Myth

All the vegetation was born from the hands of the Matis. These agile artists sculpted each of the elegant leaves of Atys. The Goo, or more rarely the original chaos, is responsible for any malformation.

Tryker Myth

The Seed has many offshoots that form the vegetation of Atys. Plants are not so cooperative with the capricious Kamis, but the Kamis nevertheless use them to generate and then feed their creatures. But the Flora of Atys needs protection. Otherwise the homin civilizations will perish, leaving nothing but the bestial prosperity of the corrupted Goo…
