Strange Plant – Life’s Fireseed Tree
The last of its kind, this legendary tree is said to have sprung from the courage of a hero who once stole sacred fire from the heavens to gift humankind with light and warmth. Yet, a raging wildfire consumed countless forests, leaving only this tree standing, a testament of resilience. Still, reality tempers legend: its tall, slender trunk, rising to the clouds, remains constantly threatened by lightning strikes—perhaps the true reason for its scarcity, a reminder of nature’s harsh selection.
Strange Plant – Matchstick Vine
This peculiar flame-born vine entwines around the Fire Ring as it grows. Its blossoms resemble bundles of matchsticks, igniting with dazzling blooms when touched by dusk. Yet their beauty is fleeting—by dawn, the flowers wither, their brilliance lasting no longer than a single night, like a struck match sparking briefly against the dark.
Strange Plant – Ring of Fire’s Glory
Its branches climb endlessly skyward, as if striving to pierce the edge of the heavens. At its highest point, the leaves ignite when touched by the Fireseed Tree’s flame. The fire never lasts long; once a leaf burns out, it withers, only to be replaced by new growth. Each new leaf carries the same sacred duty—to burn, to fade, and to begin again—a cycle of unending renewal.
