The cinyr tree is a dwarf conifer native to Paperweight, growing in groves wherever they can find some shelter from the wind, typically growing straight up until they encounter wind resistance and begin to bend. In the lead-up to the brief and chilly summers of their native climate, cinyrs grow woody cones on their upper branches. Once mature, these cones pop open, scattering tiny burgundy-colored cinyrberries far and wide.
Though cinyr wood doesn't grow as thick as other conifers, it is harder than other trees on Paperweight, with a pale brown coloration. Cinyrian dye is made from wood ash, dried old berries and snowmelt, and is produced seasonally by the native belauls.
