Moltreed

Trees with scalding sap that blisters on contact. Their blackened trunks arch over the volcanic plains like charred ribs. Their knotted joints ooze amber sap that glows like bottled dawn.

Moltreeds are among the tallest organisms on Arietis, their deep root systems tapping into subterranean heat sources. The sap that seeps from their joints is scalding hot and mildly luminous — dangerous to the touch but prized for its adhesive and sealing properties once cooled.

The Aries use hardened Moltreed sap as a waterproof sealant for roofing and forge aprons. Ino discovered that diluted sap, mixed with Pyric Moss extract, creates a powerful burn salve — the very injury the tree causes, it helps to heal.

• Hardened sap used as waterproof sealant for buildings and forge aprons
• Diluted sap mixed with Pyric Moss creates a burn salve
• Root systems tap deep into subterranean heat — natural warmth sources
