The '''Tree Spires''' is one of the three divisions of the thermal zone, a [[Biomes (Below Zero)|biome]] dominated by large, branching Hydrothermal [[Coral]] called [[Tree Spire]]s. It is the home of the [[Ventgarden]].

== Description ==
== Description ==
The biome has many large tree-like thermal vents that are covered in small vine-like [[Flora]]. It has many types of Flora and [[Fauna]] including two species of [[Leviathan Class Organisms|Leviathans]]. At the apex of the biome, there rests a tree spire remarkably larger in size than the rest of the Tree Spires. Additionally, the massive wall-like structure the large tree spire sits upon separates the biome into northern and southern sections. There are two [[Chelicerate|Chelicerates]] and two [[Ventgarden|Ventgardens]], one in both the northern section and the southern section of the biome. The biome is dominated by cliffs and small ridges, with noticeable erosion in some areas. Clusters of [[Cliff Lantern|Cliff Lanterns]] can be seen on growing on many of the cliffs in the biome. The floor is covered in fissures, with significantly larger fissures under either Ventgarden. Under the northern Ventgarden, the player can traverse through a geothermal fissure that contains a cave that leads down to the [[Crystal Caves]]. Under the southern Ventgarden, the player can find a [[Ground Sampler]] [[Architect Artifacts (Disambiguation)|artifact]]. A couple of [[Juvenile Ventgarden|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 [[Arctic#West%20Arctic|West Arctic]]. {{Clear}}

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

It borders the Thermal Spires, West Arctic, Purple Vents, Delta Island, Lilypad Islands, Crystal Caves, 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: Two Chelicerates and two Ventgardens, with the Chelicerates and one Ventgarden in the northeastern section, and one Ventgarden in the southwestern section. A couple of Juvenile Ventgardens can be seen wandering around the biome, too.

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. 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.
