Agafari Trees:
Growing from the verdant earth around it is a towering agafari tree. The
immense hardwood nearly reaches the height of a fully-grown giant. Greyish-
green bark peels away from its thick trunk, exposing a purplish wood, and
sprouting from twigs that grow from lengthy limbs are long, dark purple
leaves. Agastakee:
This tall, narrowly upright plant has sparse, drab green foliage,
formed in clusters of tiny, tightly furled leaves which smell
unpleasantly pungent. Deep pink spikes of bloom top the heavily
branched stems. Alecost:
An astringent, minty smell arises from this small plant. Its leaves
are finely toothed, pointed and silvery green. Some stems bear small
heads of insignificant yellow blooms. Alnon:
This slender, graceful tree stretches high, its upward-reaching
branches adorned with sprays of fragrant white blossom. Arato:
These oval leaves are dark green and fleshy, shot through with a faint
purplish tinge. Sap oozes from the thick stems. Artotis:
This small tree holds wonderfully fragrant, trumpet-shaped flowers,
hanging from the branches like fluted bells. The blooms are a delicate
cream shade, holding vividly yellow pistils. The small, oval leaves
are pale brown, streaked with emerald green veins. Arunca:
Aromatic, feathery, threadlike leaves branch off of the main stem of
this plant. Topping the hollow, ridged blue-green stem are large flat
clusters of tiny, highly aromatic yellow blooms. Asfadalar:
This small fern frond is a vivid green, its leaves delicate and
airy as a wooden comb. Ashkiss:
Dusty grey and pallid, this sparse growth of lichen manages to survive
on the minimal amounts of moisture in the air. Its powdery flakes look
edible but utterly unappealing. Bakri:
This compact bush grows a little higher than knee-high to a human.
Dozens of short, slender branches terminate in a spray of fine green
needles. In the heart of each cluster of needles is a tight, fist-sized
brown cone. Baobab Trees:
Standing at the base of this looming, dark crimson and grey tree,
you notice that the thick trunk appears somewhat bent and crooked.
Halfway up its mass, the tree branches off into smaller, yet fairly
thick limbs, each covered with wide, purple leaves. Belgoikiss:
A slender, arched stem, lined with two lance-shaped leaves, ends in a
tiny white bell-shaped flower, its smell unimaginably sweet and strong. Belshun:
The thin, gangly branches of this vine drape down across the earth in a
weblike fashion, covered with narrow, drooping leaves in a purplish-green
shade. Under some of the leaves, clusters of round, purple fruit in various
stages of ripeness can be glimpsed. Bhluang:
This vine is comprised of thumb-length, greyish thorns, wickedly sharp,
a ropey brown stem, and enormous dull green leaves, under a few of which
grey-skinned fruit dangle in varying states of ripeness. Bimbal:
This small plant has thick, bulbous leaves, a dark grayish-green in
color, sprouting in irregular leaves. Blackstem:
The dark branches of this large, gangly bush are a deep ebon in color,
holding hints of purple and green in their smooth surfaces. Tough,
almost squarish dull green leaves are concentrated mostly on the lower
parts of the branches, leaving the upper growth a collection of thin
sticks, rattling together in dull cacaphony as the wind stirs against
them. Blood Mushroom:
This large mushroom's flesh is a deep crimson, a reddish juice dripping
from its broken stalk. Bloodroot:
The narrow, dark green leaves of these small bushes are discolored with
patterns of caked dust and sun blotches. Their roots are thick and
knotted, some portion of them protruding above the surface to show the
deep red color that gives them their name. Cavern Lace:
At most, this wisplike web of lichen might extend half an inch from
the surface upon which it grows, its base an incomplete mat of moist
mosslike material. Extending up from this are tiny leaflike projections,
curled from drying. It faintly exudes a musty, earthlike scent. Chedya:
This foul-smelling plant grows to about a cord in height, most of its
bulk made up of finger-thick dull yellow stems. Several pore-like
openings along the length of each stem ooze a sticky brown sap
that emanates a rotten, sulphurous odor. Chuci:
This hardy red vine is covered with dusky crimson leaves which shade
a number of knobby red peppers. Citrodora:
These leaves are long and pointed, rough textured with a
prominent central vein and a strong, lemony scent, arranged along
the stem in sets of three. Tiny white flowers grow in loose clusters
along the top of each stem. Crimosa:
This leafy bush grows low to the ground, usually in a sprawling patch-like
formation. Extending from its short, woody branches are a multitude of
plump, oblong yellow leaves. Viscid red droplets, oozing to the surface of
the leaves serve as a deathtrap for unsuspecting small insects. Crone Mushrooms:
Dark yellow spots dapple the surface of this sandy-grey mushroom. The
crescent-shaped mushroom typically adheres to a rock or a wall along
with other similar mushrooms. Cunyati:
This tree is barely the size of a normal human, and its trunk is
thickly ridged with greyish green bark. No branches show themselves
except at the very top, where they eagerly push outwards, long
fronds with clusters of thick shelled nuts at their base. Cylini Trees:
About the width of a half-giant's wrist at its base, a thin cylini sapling
with peeling, greyish-green bark erupts from the ground. Its slender branches
are quite long, and end in twigs which respectively grow into jagged,
tear-shaped leaves which look to be quite sharp. The tree maintains a fragile
appearance, but seems to hold its ground to the occasional gust of wind which
sweeps through the area. Cynipri Trees:
Shorter cousins of the cylini, with a broader trunk with is more knotted
and slightly darker, with an ugly olive-purple bark; leaves, as with cylini,
are spear-shaped and serrated but are slightly longer and slimmer. Daggerthorn:
The thorns this bush bristles with are thick and a dull purplish green in
color, each at least half a handspan long. By contrast, the leaves are
unremarkable: small green ovals which shelter among the thorns, shading a
few tiny black berries. Dimadal:
This small tree's branches almost groan beneath the weight of the
heavy melons they bear, the burden dragging each limb nearly to the
ground. The leaves are wide and roundish, creating a dappled shade
over the fruit's reddish skin. Drovberry:
Standing about three cords tall, this lush plant has large ovate
green leaves, a glossy, grass-green in hue. Large berries, shiny
black in tint, bow down this plant's slender branches, replacing
the greyish-violet and scentless bell-shaped flowers. Dwarfflower:
Short and squat, almost like a dwarf, the brownish skin of this
plant has a leathery look, but is smooth and soft to the touch.
Stiff, white-petalled flowers blossom all over the barrel-shaped
center of the plant. Earummage:
This flat, spreading plant features leaves of a waxy blue-green color,
each many-lobed in a curious cuneiform. Here and there at the nodes of the
leaves, equally flat, discus shaped pink flowers grow. Efiliq:
These vines grow together in tangles of pitch black. A light spattering
of glass-like thorns coat them, gleaming in the light like viciously
sharp drops of water. Emerald Fungus:
This gray lump of fungus, about a human palm in width, its edges
flattened, is covered with a melange of tiny, emerald green spots. Escrufoot:
These dusty, olive colored leaves resemble the footprints of a small
herbivore in both size and shape. They emit a strong, minty aroma. Eynana:
The stems and leaves of these sprawling vines are pale yellow, almost
white. Growing at intervals are large purple orchids, their petals
spidery and fragile. Fafad:
These long ferns are pale green, dusted with a silvery grey layer which
gives them the texture of tarnished metal. Their leaves are long and
elegantly narrow, curled in subtle spirals at each tip which mirror the
overall curl of each long, airy frond. Featherleaf:
This leaf is long and thin, with many feathery side flaps. It is light
brown in color, and has a slight sharp odor. Felaz:
This forest plant is thick with leaves and blossoms, both equally vivid
in their purple hue. Fenrel:
Four waxy, dark-green leaves extend from a central woody stem. Each is
spear-shaped and longer than an outstretched human hand, tapering to a
fine point. A fine network of lighter-green veins criss-cross the surface
of each leaf. Figori:
These shrubs grow low, some bony branches dipping all the way to the
ground, and others raising twisted arms towards the sky. Filanya:
This towering plant features green stalks clothed with tubular flowers,
reddish purple at the bottom and shading into a creamy white at the top,
spotted with ochre-yellow blotches, the flowers borne all along the angular
stem. Ginka:
The snaky tendrils of this deadly vine lie about on the earth as
though they had simply grown there. Yet upon closer inspection, one
can see that this vine is moving slowly, searching for prey. Glimmergrass:
The deeply indented, bitterly aromatic leaves of this plant are
covered with fine silky hairs, giving them an odd silvery cast, as
though touched with moonlight. Glypah:
This tall plant bears leaves which are large and glossy, divided into
clusters of pale green along thick, ridged stems. A dimly bitter scent
pervades the leaves. Gohn:
These yellow grasses have blades stretching four or five cords and
bearing jagged, swordlike edges. Grebel: Short, purple-brown mossy grasses which often grow between rocks or can cover flat plains, called both "greb-grass" and "the grebel" as collective, excellent grazing for most animals, and is especially populous near oases and mudflats. Greelza:
In color, these low, hand-sized mushrooms are a pallid brown, mottled with
deep purple splotches. A spicy odor, much like cardamon, wafts from their
edible flesh. Greenmantle:
These bushes are a bright, almost surreally so, green, a vibrant color which
blazes with life among their surroundings. Deep within their verdant
interiors are clusters of small purple berries. Harelle:
Braids and knots of thin, black vines have grown into a sprawling
city-state mass of vegetation, clinging to crevices in the cliff. Each
corded vine is covered by sharp thorns at regular intervals, the tiny,
purple tips oozing droplets of the same sticky fluid found in the cluster of
pale-violet berries growing throughout. Haspeth:
Much like a spineless cactus, this yellow plant has very thick skin. Thick
yellow seeds can be picked off it. Heinspike:
A ball the size of a halfling's head with dozens of long, sharp-looking spikes
protruding in all directions, this plant looks to defend itself from the
ravages of the desert quite well. Horta:
This thick, ropy vine is covered with blade shaped purple and green leaves.
Large black horta fruit grow along the length of the vine from strong woody
stems. Hytenni:
The pale, dusty-grey leaves of this small plant are covered with a
symmetrical scattering of oval shaped pure white dots. Each leaf is curved
upward around its edges in a cup-like fashion, with two leaves hanging from
the end of each brittle stem. Jallal:
Narrow trunked and slender, this fruit tree features hand-sized lobed leaves
streaked with purple mottlings, and smooth, creamy beige bark. Japak:
Japak is a vine which grows solely on maar trees, entangling with the weblike
boughs. The constricting plant bears several offshoots from the main tendril,
which elongate into spear-shaped leaves or melon-shaped brown fruit. Japuaar:
Sprouting from the rocky earth here is a slender japuaar tree. Many
succulent cream-colored fruit droop lazily from the tree's long boughs.
Covering the narrow trunk is a layer of smooth ivory bark that protects the
heartwood from exposure. Jesstik:
They lie close to the
ground, leaving barren earth between where the rounded edges join together here
and there in a haphazard pattern to form a single mass which covers a broad
swathe of ground. From centers of the largest rounded bumpy lumps protrude
cord long crystalline spikes. On the very tip of some of these can be seen
brittle, fragile looking blooms. Jherweed:
The clump of weedy, light-brown tendrils that form this plant is spotted
all over with tiny black seeds, about the size of a human's least fingernail. Jimpka Moss:
This blue moss excretes a sticky substance with a horrible odor. Joybane:
The round, woody stem of this plant is covered with small, rounded and lobed
blue-green leaves dotted with oil glands which give off a strongly pungent
aroma. Frilled, slipper-shaped greenish-yellow flowers blossom atop the
rigid stem. Joylilt:
Angular branching stems are covered with green paddle-shaped leaves. The
bright yellow-orange flowers are made of fluted petals radiating from a
cone-shaped center. Jurrix:
This bush seems at initial glance no more than a dense ball of green
leaves. On second look, however, the long sharp thorns which
protect it, stand out from among the foliage. It is tall, perhaps
hip high to a half giant, but still wide. Kalan:
This long leaved bush stands about five cords high, and is laden
with kalan fruit. Kanjel:
Pale blue flowers with white-tipped petals crown these two-cord high,
willowy stemmed plants. Long, tapering blade-shaped leaves droop to the
ground, appearing to be in a constant state of wilt, though the plants seem
healthy enough. Kaya:
This thick black vine seems to thrive in a cave setting. Its large
roots readily absorb the moisture while it also dissolves various
mineral deposits. At various points among the vine there are little
black shriveled fruits. Khee:
This spindly plant is over three cords in height and crowned with
miniscule clusters of flat yellow flowers. The finely cut, lime green
leaves are wispy-looking and deeply aromatic, with a sweet, anise-like
fragrance. The bright green stalk seems to grow out of a fleshy, white
bulb. Kumiss Saucer:
The large, grey-tinged leaves of this bushy plant arch outward from
the center like the petals of a blooming desert rose. A bulbous
saucer-shaped dome in the center composes the majority of the plant's
bulk, and contains a milky-yellow sap, visible through the opaque pliable
skin. Kutai:
Looking more like ancient and shaggy natural drapery, loose patches of
spongy, dull-gray moss suspend lazily from the cavern walls and ceiling.
Faded orange fruits enveloped within the clumps of moist vegetation peek
through the colorless grey. Kzul:
Slender, serrated leaves of a dull orange colour grow from the pale
branches of this bush. At the ends of the twigs, between the leaves, are
sharp thorns with barbed tips which drip some kind of yellow sap. The Webmaster / webmaster@www.armageddon.org © 2009 Armageddon MUD. All rights reserved. |
