Sanguine Bromeliade
Sanguine Bromeliade (Sanguinesis) are a type of Biome on the Island of Woad, characterized by cloud forest and high humidity with a stable climate. It is thought to be a manifestation of Maudra and Koidios. It is one of the main biomes where forests grow, and is particularly seen in southern inland regions where it is warmer and the climate is more stable.
- Limited sunlight reaches the bottom which means bioluminescence is a thing, reflective silk and saliva is used
- The leaf cover and caverns below the roots (above/below the roots) are made by the ant and other small insects, they mostly hunt massive arthropoda who live off the humidity like evolved oarfish-milipedes, and some other weird creatures that come with the seasonal flooding.
- Fish Oil, which is the accumulation of deceased matter at the shore is also a thing in the West
Principles of the Sanguine Bromeliade Terrain
- Law of Open Land: This causes the densely packed plants and trees, along with the minerals contained within the soil, to develop their own atmospheres. Venturing into these tangled places can feel like you are walking for miles because everything slows down. It is known as wandering into a fairy ring.
- Law of Broken Restraint: This causes reproduction to occur with little restraint, the chemicals in such proximity to each other in these nutrient dense forests can cause certain pockets to have rapid, annual growths with little surviving unless it's an annual plant that dies after a year. Also known as Alraune's Law. These are known as "micro explosions" and often happens around a Wrakka or Alrauna.
- Law of Brimstone Gigantism: The high content of the Brimstone compound Hagsbreath, specifically Carbon Dioxide, has led certain arthropod based species to develop rapid-onset mutations including gigantism and chromosonal changes. It is thought to contribute to the amount of Godsibbs who live in dense forested areas.
- The Sanguine Bromeliade is thought to have been one of the worlds which were created by the deaths of Maud and Mihr, eventually falling into the realm of Koidios, the "Green Man". Each tree is its own ecosystem made even more apparent by the fact the plants seem to live and feed on one another in a very physical and sensory way. Often these grew around areas of old industry who have been completely revitalized and returned to Old Growth and is a realm of its own.
Manifestation
The Sanguine Bromeliade is notorious for being a very "emotional" biome, with many of the plants seeming to evolve based on outpourings of emotion, they are known for taking over abandoned towns or battlefields. The plants do not often live long, with most of the permanant plants being Alrauna or petrified machines. It is very lush, but sharp, acidic and sweet.
