The Pillars

Name and basic details from Apocalypse World: Burned Over.
Trees like a city, bigger than city blocks, taller than skyscrapers, towering over the world. Its inhabitants harvest orchids and rainwater and are losing their language.
  A strange settlement exists here, among high branches. The residents do very little but tend to The Orchids, seemingly under their influence somehow.   Somebody here called Brain is out for Errol Mustang's blood, as a result of Errol's Ear to the Ground move. No further details are known about this grudge, including who Brain is.   This location was to be a focal point for Sub-Plot: The Orchids, but this went unresolved by the end of the game. No solid details were determined or given for the workings of the Orchids or the details of the people at The Pillars.   Errol spent a little time here during Adventure: The Door in Reality, trading some food to the residents in exchange for some Orchids that they were very keen to send to other places.

Demographics

Very few of the residents seem able to speak or do very much under their own agency, simply spending all waking hours tending to The Orchids.

Defences

Almost completely inaccessible except by air.

Industry & Trade

Almost none.

Infrastructure

Almost none - there are a few covered places where people might sleep (only when needed), while rainwater and edible vegetation can be found (but does not seem to be deliberately farmed).

Assets

Geography

The high branches of utterly gigantic trees, interconnected by growth and other plants.
