====== Hoshek: Plane of Life ======
A lush plane of life and vegetation.

>//Wild growth surrounds you everywhere, and several layers of surging moss and grasses shift under your feet. A brilliant sun shines over the world, filling you with vitality.// - Eye of Ulos (RPA-ADV4)

>//You tumble through a white rift into a deep carpet of moss, leaves, and grasses. You are up to your neck in all manner of steadily growing plant life. New sprouts emerge and grow like fingers reaching out toward the sun. Slow, snakelike movement all around you suggests roots and branches are stretching their way through the bed. You use these to climb atop the shifting layers of vegetation. Everywhere, the landscape undulates with constant growth.// - Gate of Brizoor Waal (RPA-ADVF)

Golden Rynar trees line the shores of the swamps of Elestria. Newly created souls of mortals begin their life in these branches. - The Hive (GS-ADV3)
