Shadow Stems

Shadow Stems are the central Tree Life of the planet Fredonia, and are only found near the basin of the Oasis.

Known for their towering height, and extensive Branch-System, the Shadow Stem is one of the only life-forms that is resistant to the blood red rays of Gamma 18, and in it's shade is often the only place real color can be seen.

It's leather-like leaves are difficult to break, and collect the fresh water of the Oasis constantly. It's bark is stiff, and steely, and it's sap is colorless, odorless, and watery.

In the Shadow Stem Forests lining the Basin, there are rumors of creatures, often referred too as Shadow Dwellers, that devour those who wander through.
