Great Aspaguin

Great Aspaguin is a species of large tree found in some remote regions of Aren. It was once more common, but many were cut down during the latter years of the Mage Wars. The trees were famous for being quite large, typically into the hundreds of feet, with enormous fronds, so big the separated portions were often used as impromptu paper.

The wood was popular material for skyship production, being very rubbery and pliable. This accounts for much of the deforestation, though these trees seldom grew in sizable groves.

Some Great Aspaguin can still be found in remote corners of the Agras Plain and presumably in the less-peopled regions north of High Mountain. Fossil records indicate either Great Aspaguin once grew substantially larger, or it is related to a now extinct mega-tree able to grow thousands of feet tall.
