Breachtrees are a plant native to Roshar used to make textiles.[1]
Uses[edit]
Breachtrees produce a type of cotton. The cotton can be spun into fabric. The fabric is versatile, and can be used to make clothing ranging from coats[1] to robes.[2] It is likely also used to make shift dresses.[3] The fabric, which sometimes has a scratchy feel, can be dyed.[1]
Cultivation and Economy[edit]
Breachtrees are cultivated as a textile crop in Jah Keved and possibly in other parts of Roshar. The harvested cotton is traded as a commodity.[4]
History[edit]
Kaladin had a padded brown breachtree coat as a young man.[1]
In 1170, Brightlord Revilar forced Lin Davar to trade breachtree cotton and raw shum at an incredible discount to gain much-needed influence with Revilar.[4]
Zahel wore a shabby tan breachtree cotton robe tied at his waist with a rope when he fought Kaladin in Urithiru.[2]
Trivia[edit]
- Breachtree was spelled "breechtree" in the first printings of Rhythm of War.[2]
