==== Flora ====
Despite the fact that Alethkar is far more exposed to the [[highstorm]]s than any country further West, large swathes of it are lush with animals and vegetation.{{book ref|sa3|5}} The flora one finds depends heavily on the region of Alethkar. In the northwest, common flora includes thickets of [[snarlbrush]], stout [[markel]] trees and [[stumpweight]] trees.{{book ref|sa1|31}} Some forests are made up of [[vivim]] trees, who bind their branches together to ensure that the forest is almost impenetrable.{{book ref|sa3|10}} In some areas of Alethkar rockbuds can grow nearly to the size of a barrel, with vines as thick as a human wrist;{{book ref|sa3|5}} Alethkar also contains many fragile types of flora, such as vines and weeds, these species usually only grow in laits.
The Alethi also cultivate many plants. Foremost among these plants, a staple in the diet of any Alethi, is [[Lavis]]. There are many different strains of Lavis, some are capable of withstanding even the strongest highstorms while others are extremely nutritious. They also cultivate [[Tallew]], among many other rockbuds.{{book ref|sa3|10}} The Alethi also enjoy a wide variety of fruit, cultivated in large orchards. Some species of trees are cultivated to be much taller and leafier than usual in order to provide more shade.{{book ref|sa1|63}} A large number of plants are also used to make clothing, as medicine and more.
