Origin: Saethera (moonlit groves)
The Glassbloom is a delicate, translucent plant native to the moonlit groves of Saethera. Its petal clusters glow under Saethern’s constant light and attract night pollinators. Fragile and glass-like, Glassblooms add aesthetic and ecological value to warmlight forests. Saetheran tribes historically used them as natural lures in insect rituals. Modern expeditions value them for biodiversity studies. Their presence signals stable, humid grove ecosystems.
Glassblooms grow in Saethera’s moonlit groves. They prefer humid, shaded soils beneath the polar canopy. They form small clusters among roots and low shrubs and are absent from open clearings or arid zones.
Found at 1–3 km within Saethera’s grove ecosystems. Rare below 0.5 km or above 4 km where required light and moisture conditions fail.
Saethera’s warm, humid climate under Saethern’s constant illumination (20–30°C) supports Glassbloom growth. They require steady humidity and stable warmlight conditions.
Adapted to frequent mist and light drizzles that enhance glow and pollinator activity. Vulnerable to strong winds from stellar disruptions and to seismic root disturbance.
Glassblooms live 3–8 years. Rapid petal development occurs in year one. They reach maturity by year one and seed during mist-heavy seasons.
Mature plants reach 0.2–0.5 meters tall with petal clusters up to 0.3 meters wide. Younglings are 0.1–0.2 meters.
Glassblooms were significant during the Era of Absolute Expansion (~3,000 years before modern Geba) for Saetheran exploration and rituals. Overharvesting in accessible groves during the Warlord Eras (~500–17 years before modern Geba) reduced local populations. Expeditions should use gentle tools and monitor for seismic activity to protect patches. Range is limited to Saethera’s moonlit groves.
