The Tree Spires is one of the three divisions of the thermal zone, a biome dominated by large, branching Hydrothermal Vents called Tree Spires.

It is the home of the Ventgarden.

It borders the Thermal Spires, Purple Vents, Delta Island, Sparse Arctic, Lilypad Islands, and the World Edge.

Spoiler alert: This section will reveal story-related material if expanded.
An entrance to the cave containing Marguerit Maida's Base can be found here.

Description

The biome has many large tree-like Hydrothermal Vents that are covered in small vine-like Flora. It has many types of Flora and Fauna including two species of Leviathans. There are two Chelicerates and two Ventgardens, with the chelicerates and one ventgarden in the northern section, and one ventgarden in the southern section. The biome is dominated by cliffs and small ridges, with noticeable erosion in some areas. Clusters of Cliff Lanterns can be seen on growing on many of the cliffs in the biome. A couple of Juvenile Ventgardens can be seen wandering around the biome. The southern section is also reasonably deeper than the rest of the biome, as the biome gradually slopes down into the World Edge. The western section shares a boundary with the West Arctic.

The Tree Spires

The Tree Spires is the main section of the biome, hosting a variety of both Fauna and Flora. The biome is easily identifable by its large cliffsides and rock formations, leading down to the deeper portions of the biome. The area also hosts many Leviathan Class Organisms, notably the Chelicerate and the Ventgarden, with the Chelicerates and one Ventgardens in the northern section, and one Ventgardens in the southern section. The ridges and cliffs of the biome support a variety of Flora native to the biome, some including the Reaper's Wineglass and the Cliff Lanterns.

The Tree Spires Fissures

The Tree Spires Fissures are a cramped cave system located under both of the Ventgardens under the biome. These fissures hold many rare and valuable Raw Materials, such as Uraninite Crystals or Rubys. The area itself lacks many Fauna and Flora, but contains useful Fragments for the Thermal Plant located near a Tech Site. The first fissure connects to Marguerit Maida's Base, while the second one holds one of the Ground Samplers.

― PDA

The Large Tree Spire is a smaller section of the Tree Spires found on a large rock formation located in the center of the biome. This area is easily identified by the large Tree Spire located on the top and the large structure located near the surface of the ocean. The area itself lacks many Raw Materials and Fauna, and has no specific points of interest in the area. The area itself can be used as a marker to not lose track in the Tree Spire biome, and can also be taken advantage of its proximity to the surface for a Seabase. <tabber> Resources=

• Despite its name, Hydrothermal Spires do also spawn here.
