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.

Huge intelligent plant, elegantly shaped and up to 30 feet tall, the jubla presents, at mid-height, leafy branches that represent (according to the Matis) a form of photosynthesis. The reproductive organ is at the top of the radical of the plant where the flowers are distributed in brightly coloured toupees.

The jubla is a peaceful plant, but if it feels threatened, several orifices located about 3 feet above ground, around the bulbous base, project clouds of toxic pollen onto the assailant. This pollen is flammable and prone to spontaneous combustion when propelled into air. Fortunately, the moist atmosphere of the Prime Root does not favour this effect.

The jubla is actually the same family as the faneng of the Jungle. The upper part is the turion (the visible part) of a rhizome. The jubla, like many other intelligent plants, tends to gather in colonies which could be several shoots sharing a common rhizome^[1].

Some legend exists telling of talking jublas. No one knows whether it is because of the wind rushing into the jublas groves or if, more disturbing, this legend has an element of truth.

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…

  Beware Atysians! Some plants have shown signs of intelligence, finding ways to communicate with other thinking species. From there to knowing if their message is peaceful or malicious, it's up to you to find out...

However, the eight botanical families listed below should help you to find your way through the teeming flora of Atys.

• Algae
• Aquaplants
• Fungi
• Herbs
• Mosses
• Roots
• Shrubs
• Stipes (false trunks)
• Trees

You should also know that all Atys plants that are not (or not only) members of these families are listed in the “pseudo-family” Special plants.
