The Terraces of Mist are home to a rich and diverse ecosystem, with a variety of flora and fauna adapted to the humid, misty conditions. The range’s unique climate and terrain have allowed many species to thrive in this lush, green environment.

*'''Flora''': The Terraces of Mist are covered in dense forests of ancient trees, ferns, and mosses. Some of the notable plant species include the '''Mistfern''', a delicate fern that thrives in the damp, misty conditions, and the '''Silverleaf Tree''', known for its silvery bark that glows faintly in the fog.
**''Cloudberry Bush'': A low-growing shrub that produces sweet, translucent berries said to be imbued with the essence of the mist. These berries are a favorite among local wildlife and are often used in traditional remedies.
