Mistbeam

The Mistbeam Tree is a swift-growing, almost aggressively alive species that was perfected by Decheeran arboriculturists in the year 630 A.E. after several centuries of development and selective breeding. The qualities of the tree make it perfect for most works of biological architecture that the Decheeran race are known for. A young Mistbeam tree has an easily trained, almost vining nature, which in maturity thickens and settles to solid hardwood. Its roots are capable of pulling moisture out of the air just as easily as the ground, and its bark rarely exceeds three centimeters total thickness, even in its most mature state. There are several subspecies of the Mistbeam tree, River Mistbeam and Red Mistbeam wood being among the most commonly used in "biotecture" projects. The Mistbeam species has become so ubiquitous, in fact, that in some places in Atria it is reaching an invasive status, a topic of great concern to Decheeran conservationists.

Used as both a living and growing material in biotecture creations of all sizes and scopes, and as a more traditional hardwood, mistbeam is a versatile resource used extensively in furnishing, landscaping, building and more.

The cadu, a type of traditional Decheeran body adornment designed to be worn in the branches, is made exclusively from mistbeam.
