Tundra Bottan Field in an Icy Tundra

Tundra Bottan is a significant fauna that grows in both the Minas & Majas Polar regions. It is considered the oldest species of complex flora in Pathon. While this plant only grows mildly in the Northern Minas Polas region, the larger lowlands and coastal areas of the Southern Hemisphere's Majas Polas makes this plant fairly common.

It is used for many products, including cloth, sturdy wood & poles, and construction materials. As bedding or padding, it provides warmth and a layer of protection against freezing temperatures. As lumber, it is durable and wind-resistant, able to withstand stormy weather under fair conditions. Fibers are extracted from several components of the plant's system.

The most remarkable property of this plant is the ability to produce a large quantity of dense, fluffy soft down. Cottony cloth extends from the top of the plant, spreading out to capture moisture from falling snow. This cloth runs through the interior of the Tundra Bottan's length, down to its root system. The exterior of the plant is covered in a thick plates of bark. Planks from Bottan Pole are thin, but they make great water-resistant scaffolds and found in the construction of sea-faring & land-faring vessels, such as the Broamede or the Bobeh.

History & Significance

This plant is one of the oldest in Pathon's history, dating back to the Mythic Epoch's Ice Age. It was discovered by the Mythos Folk as they roamed the frozen wastelands. It quickly became an abundant resource. Easier to produce than Icing Silk, Tundra Bottan was dependable. It taught the Mythos Folk the basis for rudimentary agriculture. Specialized carving, cutting tools shaped like sickles & scythes were used to harvest the cloth and wood, respectively.

A Purple variety once grew in the most frigid regions of the World, but it went extinct just before the Calamitous Age within the Mythic Epoch. Other forms of Bottan exists around the world as the Mythos Folk spread the plant to other regions.
