|Flora and Fauna=<noautolinks>{{see also| | |Flora and Fauna=<noautolinks>{{see also|Flora and Fauna of Sanctuary Vale}}</noautolinks>The highland savanna of Sanctuary Vale supports a distinct ecosystem adapted to its mineral-rich soil, mist cycles, and exposed stone formations. Native plants such as Vale Grass and Kire Shrubs mark ground stability and are used in traditional [[Orasian]] fieldwork, while sparse tree species like Pyr and Spring Figs serve both ecological and ceremonial functions. Local fauna include the heavy-plated Slateback Behemoth, often viewed as a symbol of endurance, and Pierrooks—tall, sharp-voiced birds whose calls reflect subtle shifts in air pressure. Smaller life, like the elusive Vale Cats and spiral-burrowing Dust Beetles, are closely observed and often tied to spiritual interpretations of balance, movement, and hidden depth. | ||
