Crow Bushes
They are trees that are only present in the Godless Lands, and existed before the Disciples arrived, but were much rarer and smaller. It seems to have adapted better than the other vegetation. The name “bushes” comes from the incredible structure of this species. They have a thick, hard trunk, from which hundreds of individual, much thinner branches grow, along which an undefined dark substance (from which the word “crow” comes) flows. As a result, this tree looks as if a piece of a mighty oak were cut off, and then a large crown, cut from a willow, was placed on it. Crow bushes can mainly be found at oases and when accompanied by water, which is essential for their survival. Rumors has it that they also occur in the abysses of black rock and in select caves across the land. Sometimes, by some unexplained twist of fate, their individual specimens appear in the vicinity of rocks, making them useful for building primitive camps and weapon arbors. Hunters particularly appreciate all kinds of bows and crossbows made from this material. It has incredible flexibility and durability, allowing the creation of weapons with an amazing range. The only place where there is a larger number of these trees is found in the nameless forest on the northwestern side of Herja. And seeing how eagerly the prisoners from the Temporary Encampment are cutting them down, the woods might not exist long enough for someone to name them. It is not known why the inhospitable atmosphere of the Godless Lands allowed these woods to exist.
