jaddeth below Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Hey, I just read Arcanum Unbounded and learned that Darkside has uv light and the plants have adapted to it and are luminescent. So do they look like the Avatar movie just below? Found the image on Google Images and don't know about copyright things on this site. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islipperyharp Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 It would make sense that they look something similar to that, but of course it's hard to know what those plants would actually look like due to the planets location with the double Suns... Those plants would probably be built similar, but in a way that they can withstand all the UV light. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weltall Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Unfortunately we don't really know anything about Darkside except what Khriss tells us in that essay and the scattered things that come out in the first volume of White Sand. The plants might look like that in terms of coloration (as would apparently most other forms of life) but for the specific shapes and such we haven't a clue. Just in terms of their form, some of the plants in that picture wouldn't be out of place on Roshar, a world whose flora and fauna resemble a coral reef that just happens to be above water. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaddeth below Posted April 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Ok, that makes sense that the plants biologically resemble Rosharan plant life but I was looking at the luminescencence and thinking that Darksiide flora and fauna would look like glowworms and glowing jellyfish and maybe the water would have some kind of phosphorescence to it. Thats what I guessed it would look like because the Darksiders need some other light besides their sun especially if electricity has not been invented yet. Pandora on Avatar popped in mind because the jungle came alight at night without particularly being as bright as the daytime etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
