Saethera Skypillar (Arboraltus saethera)

Alias: None
Origin: Saethera (warmlight forests)

The Saethera Skypillar is a towering arboreal species native to Saethera’s warm, humid forests. With a slender, upright trunk and smooth, pale bark that reflects moonlight, it supports a dense canopy ecosystem and serves as both a structural and symbolic pillar of the forest realm.

Terrain

Warmlight forests, rooted in fertile, humid soils. Absent in arid or volcanic biomes.

Lifespan

Lives 200–300 years. Matures at 20–25 years. Produces seeds during humid seasons.

Height & Spread

Reaches 30–50 meters in height, with a crown spread of 5–10 meters. Juveniles range from 5–15 meters.

Uses

• Ecological Role: Supports canopy fauna; stabilizes forest structure.
• Cultural Significance: Saetheran symbol of aspiration; used for timber.
• Guidance: Harvest only during stable seasons. Ideal for canopy observation platforms.

Notes

Documented in the Era of Absolute Expansion (~3,000 years before modern Geba), Skypillars remain vital to Saethera’s forest ecosystems. Extant and prominent.
