Biome
Golden Forest
A shining forest of golden trees, aether vents and clover groves.
Version: 0.1.0-pre-alpha
Everything here seems to glow. Goldenbough, Ivoryspire and Elder Aurelia set the tone, with Sunwillow, Glimmerleaf, Copperleaf and Honeyshade between them and Amberleaf and Palespire drifting in from the Highlands. Sunplums and Willowdrops hang from the branches. Aether vents release slow bubbles into the air, clover groves, hollow elder trees and root arches break up the forest floor, and in the rootbound caves below, golden deposits glitter.
Listen and you may hear the Chimelings, small golden bells that drift through the trees and every few minutes play a short tune together, one note each. Glimmerhogs roll into spiky balls, Glimmerlynxes slowly learn to trust patient visitors and Golden Butterflies rest in swarms on the flowers. Very rarely, an Astral Phoenix circles high above the canopy.
