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 crolices are long green roots, of smooth appearance, which pull their resources from deep beneath the ground of the Forest. Some botanists believe that they are actually shoots of the giant roots constituting the Bark. They form arches near the ground or rise towards the sky.

They are found particularly at cliff-tops and in the Nexus.

They are covered with bright green moss that blooms in a myriad of small colourful flowers in summer, and more rarely small leafy branches appear.

This is the root which, once modified, is used in major botanical Matis works such as the Arena. Note that they are very sensitive to Goo.

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…
