| === Interpretation of the artwork ===
| |
| The time period is not determined, however, the location presented is located within the Northeastern lands of Planet Tal, where the border of Astna and [[Thekan]] meet. The Talyxian biome forest bordering the desert such as presented in the artwork is a very familiar sight to Northern people, scenery such as this can be seen throughout the whole of Northern habitable areas. Beyond the Talyxian forest line, the desert can be readily identified as a yellowish-white horizon.
| |
| | |
| === Talyxian resin trees ===
| |
| The blue translucent trees presented actually display a curious nature, comparable to that of Earth-like synthetic resin (similar to plastic). These Talyxian ‘resin trees’ are prized as a valuable source for craft material, and feature a varied and wide range of types and modifiable attributes. Some types include glitter particles inside of them that shine by virtue of reflecting light. Some offer resistance to high temperatures and others have a high elasticity rate. Due to their beautiful appearance and high versatility, they are harvested by [[Eltus]] people and exported to [[Gold Ring]], in order to be used in various ways such as material for accessories or tools.
| |
| | |
| These resins mainly originate from the surrounding Northern Talyxian biome forests. They were already known among [[Agudners|Agudner]] craftsmen in the civilized areas such as Reono from old times. However, harvesting them from the more uncivilized areas proved difficult, as such they were not as common a material. In the [[Shigu]] monarchy period under [[Rain Silves|General Rain]]’s rule, [[Northern Sergals|Northern people]] began to use resin trees in full swing as material for their weapons and so on. After the end of the war, they established processing methods and began to treat them as main exportable goods.
| |
| | |
| As most resins would, applied heat causes them to become soft, sticky, and malleable. Once they begin to cool, they will harden to a firm state, perfect for binding blades and shafts of spears together, as well as other tools. In the past, this resin resource was overlooked, as the trees were not seen as a food source for the rustic Northern lifestyle. However, in years closer to the modern era, these trees have dropped drastically in number as continued high demands for the resin led to over-harvesting.

Somewhere within the central Astna plains, just before noon, an urchin cow carriage travels along the beaten path stretching out through the wild landscape.
Astna (アスタナ) is a Talyxian biome area which occupies an extensive range of Northern lands on Planet Tal.
Most of the areas within Astna are composed of wastelands or plains which feature few Talyxian biomes. The few biomes which can be found at the boundary with the forest areas are characterized as having a comparatively low mutability ratio and are static in nature. Of course, there are still deeper areas of the forests and they are exempt from this condition.
The main characters from the Vilous Manga, Episode 4, "The Twelve Plainswalkers" adventure through this area.
Summary
The time period is not determined, however, the Sergal presented in the artwork is wearing a Reono styled outfit, they are visiting the border where the
Astna and
Thekan meet in order to scout in advance for suitable materials, such as
Talyxian 'resin trees', the blue translucent trees. Due to their light set of clothing, it can be easily assumed Eltus people's village exist nearby.
There are various kinds of wildlife in this area, ranging from small-sized and defenseless animals such as Talyxian hares and moles all the way up to middle or large-sized, threatening animals such as Dondokos and House peckers.
Biomes comprised of plains and wasteland areas are characterized by the existence of many molehills and Myriabushes, also known and referred to as Gejigemi by the Eltus people, black and low-height thickets or bushes which look like multiple, interconnected, long insect legs. Most of the Sergals which belong to the Sieg classification forage their food from these places. Also, some of them will sometimes encounter roaming creatures such as Dondokos and House Peckers, or Brave clan Sergals which are traveling vast lands in order to scout for their prey.
