dense that trees felled next to water have been known to sink as though their trunks were
made of stone. The dried leaves, which are drunk as a tea by the Elves, contain ginkeine,
an alkaloid complex which includes caffeine and other phytochemicals, some of which
may induce DNA repair.

Homo neanderthalensis gwaelii R., heavy bodied hominids, indigenous to the Eastern
Continent. They have a vastly expanded visual cortex, giving them a large occipital bun
at the base of their skull. They hunt in groups, exclusively at night. They are quite adept
at making crude wooden hafted and shafted stone tools such as knives, mauls and spears.
They do not make, nor have they been seen to make use of such devices as bows and
atlatls or fluid holding vessels. They have life- long pair bonds and share in the rearing of
their young in a human-like manner, unlike their cousins, the Jutish trolls, Homo
neanderthalensis jutlandii R. Though they frequently make temporary shelters of animal skins, they prefer large caverns and rocky recesses able to shelter extended family
groups. They possess true language, though the only language of theirs which is known
lacks some of the discrete parts of speech common to most human languages. It is far
more sonorous and nasal sounding than any known human language.

Elves - Homo sapiens ginkgoliberiensis R., a race of humans indigenous to the Maidenhair
Woods of the Eternal Mountains of the Eastern Continent, characterized by ivory colored
skin, eyes with various colors of irises highlighted with opalescent flashes and sparkles,
pointed ears and hair which is either silky absolute black, absolute black with varying
degrees of iridescence or metallic shades of silvery grey, gold or copper or an almost
phosphorescent matte rust red. They are highly intuitive and are attuned to their natural
surroundings and are predisposed to magical skills. They have life spans scores of times
as long as those of the rest of mankind.

fringed maidenhair - Ginkgo fimbriflabella R., is a deciduous gymnosperm that lives in waste
and burnt over areas where woods meets grassland. It seldom grows taller than 35 to 40
feet. Its leaves are deeply lobed with closely spaced fingers, scarcely broader than one
mm, giving the tree its name. Its wood is almost white and very soft, and it seldom lives
more than 65 to 75 years. Along with plums, crabapples and hawthorns, it is amongst the
first woody species of trees to invade after a section of forest is completely burnt off by
fire.

maidenhair tree - Ginkgo biloba ingentissima R. (The Sacred Maidenhair of Oilean Gairdin is a
G. biloba ingentissima) are broad leaved deciduous gymnosperms. These are the tallest
living trees on earth with mature specimens towering from 375 to over 400 feet. The
largest individual known, living near the bottom of the slopes of the Pitmaster Gorge in
the Maidenhair Woods, measures 427 feet and is estimated to be well over 7000 years
old. They are indigenous to the Maidenhair Woods of the western Eastern Continent
where they are the dominant tree, forming the canopies in the deep valleys and steep
slopes of the Eternal Mountains up to about 6500 feet. They are amongst the oldest living
things on earth with some trees having nearly 10,000 annual rings, though the record for
age is held by the very much smaller blue maidenhair, Ginkgo cyanophyllum R., of the
mountain tops and tree line.

picture catcher unicorns - a breed of unicorn derived from the short robust Douglas unicorn by
the Elves of the Maidenhair Woods on the Eastern Continent more than a thousand years
ago. At first they were known as terraing pictiur (Jutish Elven or Old Gwaelic Elven)
because of their ability to receive and respond to mental images projected by certain
gifted Elves. Though about the same height at the withers as the Douglas, these terraing
pictiur were quite gracile, almost deer-like, instead of having the Douglas's robust build,
yet were still capable of being ridden for short distances. None made it across the ocean
with the exodus of King Neron. By time of the reign of Queen Spitemorta, they had
become known as tayreyder jalloo (Gwaelic Elven) and had been reduced by breeding to
the size of a greyhound, no longer capable of bearing a rider, but very g
ood at delivering
messages over long distances upon the giving of wordless commands.

red maidenhair - Ginkgo erythrofolium R. is a deciduous broadleaved gymnosperm living
throughout the Maidenhair Woods in the Eternal Mountains of the Eastern Continent
where it overwhelmingly predominates at elevations below 8000 feet. It ranges in height
from sixty to ninety feet, the taller trees occurring in low places. It has the interesting
ability to thrive under the canopy of the maidenhair trees, Ginko biloba ingentissima R.
where the two species overlap. The red bottom surfaces of its leaves are thought to enable
it to thrive in low light conditions. Its dried leaves bear alkaloids, which when chewed by
the Elves like tobacco, steady their nerves.
rescue flax - lion tarrthail (Jutish Elven) originally, lhieen livreys (Gwaelic Elven) in later times,
also Strah flax, Phormium tenax R., is not any sort of true flax at all, but a succulent

except that its inflorescences are made up of brilliant red flowers.

silver maidenhair - Ginko genetrex-argenteus R. also called "mother tree" by the Fairies and
Gwaelic Elves, its leaves and stems are covered with a silver colored cuticle, hence its
name. It lives in symbiotic association with the mycelia of Fairy ring mushrooms, and
whilst its leaves, stems, fruit, bark and roots are each said to have potent medicinal
properties, the tree's great rarity has prevented substantial empirical study.
