World of Origin Roshar

Breachtrees are a plant native to Roshar used to make textiles.[1]

UsesEdit

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 EconomyEdit

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]

HistoryEdit

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]
