Regional Timber & Useful Plant Survey of Thirnavar

Common Woods, Specialty Timbers, Food Trees, and Utility Plants by Nation


Purpose

This survey consolidates:

  • ordinary real-world trees and useful plants
  • regionally important construction woods
  • specialty fantasy timbers
  • food-bearing trees
  • oil and resin sources
  • textile and fiber plants
  • culturally significant species

The goal is practical worldbuilding reference.

Most ordinary structures throughout Thirnavar are built from mundane local woods.
Rare fantasy timbers are exceptional materials layered atop ordinary forestry rather than replacements for it.

Overlap between nations is natural and expected.
Climate and geography determine distribution more than borders.
