The [[Dorim vine]] is a plant used as a water source on Dayside by its inhabitants, areas where they grow are not considered to be desert. The plant stores water primarily as a defensive measure against other creatures as its water dissolves the shells of many sand creatures. Because of this any creature attempting to eat the plant would find their mouths beginning to melt.{{book ref|ws|3|review=yes}} As a result, the growth of Dorim vines limits how large sandlings can grow.{{book ref|ws2|3}}
 
The city of Kezare someis cultivated for farming and is more fertile than the low sand regions, as a result of this it has more varied flora.{{book ref|ws1ws|4|review=yes}}{{wob ref|3963}} The Darkside quarter of the city also has flowers native to Darkside growing within it.{{book ref|ws1|5}}
 
==== Fauna ====
There are multiple breeds of this type of creature. Some of them, such as Karaks, are hunted for sport.{{book ref|ws2|3}} Another breed consists of thousands of small sandlings which stick together in the Deep sands; when they move they agitate the sand above them causing them to be mistaken for a much larger creature forcing wanderers to retreat.{{book ref|ws2|3}} Delrak Naisha are another breed found in the deep sands. They are creatures that wait just beneath the sand; if the sand above them is disturbed, they emerge and consume whatever is above them.{{book ref|ws2|3}}
 
[[Tonk]]s are a type of domesticated animal on Dayside unrelated to Sandlings, they are primarily used as mounts.{{book ref|ws|3|review=yes}} They are scared of water, however, and refuse to cross it, limiting where they can be taken to.{{book ref|ws1ws|4|review=yes}} Travelling with Tonks is also frustrating because of their natural instinct to bury themselves underneath sand during a sandstorm and their tendency to mistake many things for sandstorms.{{book ref|ws1ws|4|review=yes}}
