The Stormbread Tree is a massive, thorned desert giant that defines Inland Thazvaar’s most hostile terrain. Its roots extend hundreds of meters into the ground, drawing trace moisture from deep aquifers and enabling it to survive decades without rainfall. A single storm can sustain it for years.
The tree’s towering frame is armed with long, needle-like spines coated in a paralyzing toxin. Despite the danger, its immense size and resilience make it a vital landmark—used by stranded travelers as a point of orientation when relay trackers fail.
When sufficient water is present, the tree produces a rare, dense fruit known as Stormbread. The fruit’s appearance is considered a sign of hidden abundance—proof that groundwater or coastal Thazvaar lies nearby. For desert dwellers, finding a Stormbread Tree in fruit is a symbol of life itself.
