Flora and Fauna

Native

Fauna

• ice deer
• northern mist bears
• thicket boars (hunted by Lisinthir with a spear)
• the butterfly things Sediryl mentions at the beginning of Girl on Fire ('crystalwings'?)
• white and gray seabirds mentioned at Laisrathera
• colorful blue birds and smaller brown ones at Laisrathera
• chimefrogs (sing at night)
• chimera: represented by Imthereli’s first crest, looked like four-footed serpents and had been known for their aura of paralyzing terror; they were the size of large dogs, and hunted in packs of ten or more
• basilisks: Basilisks are twice their size, and mesmerized with their minds.

Flora

• I think I named at least one kind of tree and one climbing vine.
