T'khearl

A type of tree found originally on Kusyu, and since transplanted by the Aslan to a great number of other worlds.

A t'khearl is an attractive ornamental plant, notable for its broad, blue-black leaves and pale white blossoms. It requires great care and attention to grow. Living up to 64 ftahea, these trees are highly treasured in Aslan culture. In the heartworlds of the Aslan Hierate, many older clans and younger clans with aspirations keep small groves of t'khearl trees, said to be symbolic of the clan's health. A traditional way to declare a ritual war is to present an enemy with a single, broken branch from one of their own t'khearl.
