Sanctuary Vale’s landscape~~, though shaped by stone and guided erosion,~~ supports a distinctive range of ~~plant~~ and ~~animal life~~ adapted to its highland savanna conditions. Rather than abundance, the vale is marked by endurance and adaptation—species that thrive in mineral-rich soils, shifting mist, and exposed strata. Many of these organisms are tied to [[Orasian]] practices of observation, cultivation, and spiritual balance.

Sanctuary Vale’s landscape supports a distinctive range of flora and fauna adapted to its highland savanna conditions.

|Flora=* '''Vale Grass''' – A low-growing, dry-season grass with thin~~, sun-flecked~~ blades~~. It turns deep grey during nightfall and forms spiral growths around stone outcrops. Its presence often marks ground stability and is used to determine safe encampment zones~~.

|Flora=* '''Vale Grass''' – A low-growing, dry-season grass with thin golden tan blades.

*'''Kire Shrubs''' – Tough, gnarled shrubs that calcify in their upper branches during dry cycles~~. Their deep roots extract trace minerals, and their bark is harvested sparingly for tonics and salves~~.

* '''Kire Shrubs''' – Tough, gnarled shrubs that calcify in their upper branches during dry cycles.

*'''Pyr Trees''' – Rare, tall trees with narrow trunks and shallow canopies~~. Their upper branches catch wind currents and creak in patterned rhythms. Pyr wood is brittle but used ceremonially in rite torches or signal posts~~.

* '''Pyr Trees''' – Rare, tall trees with narrow trunks and shallow canopies.

*'''Spring Fig Trees''' – These trees grow ~~along mineral springs and exposed fissure mouths~~. Their pale fruit is ~~high in condensed sugars,~~ and their leaves reflect faint light. ~~Some consider them markers of memory or ancestral presence when found alone in stone-clearings.~~

* '''Spring Fig Trees''' – These trees grow near water. Their pale fruit is a popular delicacy and their leaves reflect faint light.
