Grathor Thorn is a large, spiny shrub with twisted branches and long, sharp thorns. Known for its formidable appearance, this shrub thrives in the harsh, rocky terrain of Remon’s hillsides, where it forms dense, impassable thickets. Though not widely used for practical purposes, it is feared and respected for the challenge it poses to travelers and livestock.
Form and Appearance
Grathor Thorn is a sprawling shrub with thick, twisted branches that interlock to form a natural barrier. The branches are covered in sharp, cruel thorns that can grow several inches long, making the shrub both a deterrent to wildlife and a hazard to those who pass by. Its leaves are small and sparse, allowing the thorns to dominate its appearance.
Habitat
This shrub thrives on rocky, windswept hillsides, where other plants struggle to survive. It prefers dry, well-drained soil and can often be found growing in the barren uplands of Remon. The thorns provide the plant with protection against grazing animals and help it retain moisture in harsh environments.
Geographic Distribution
Grathor Thorn is most commonly found in the uplands and hillsides of Remon, especially in the Krund Hills and Silverwood regions. It is particularly abundant in semi-arid areas where it forms dense thickets along steep slopes and cliffs, creating natural barriers to movement.
Uses
While Grathor Thorn is not typically harvested due to its dangerous thorns, it is occasionally used by farmers and villagers as a natural fence to keep livestock contained. Its dense, impenetrable growth provides protection for small wildlife, though most people avoid direct contact with the plant due to the difficulty in handling its thorny branches.
