    Default trees in the iron kingdoms

    so are there trees that only appear in the IK world or do they just have the same ol' run of the ill oaks, maples, and what not?

    Most trees are relatively ordinary or at least familiar and would be akin to ones in the real world, albeit there are certainly regional variances. There are some meat-eating trees I would suggest avoiding.

    In one of the Witchfire books, one species of tree, the Blackleaf is mentioned.

    Overall, I think you can probably get by with saying 'it's just a tree'*















    *until it tries to eat you, that is.

    Was that mentioned in the WFTCE as well? Do you remember where?

    They're all quite clearly eucalypts.

    Ah, found it. Misremembered.

    Collected edition, p. 218 callout:
    To your right the marsh adopts an ever-thickening timberland as its latest element, rife with tall elms and black-leafed shadowbranches.
    I guess you could claim that shadowbranches is a descriptive term rather then a species name, but it's a nice name so I'd say it's cannon...
