Border Regions in Talyxian Biomes and Talyxian Resin Trees
Hello Vilous fans! We apologize for the delay on our hiatus updates. We were preparing up quite an amount of juicy lore updates. This took a bit of time, as the information is dense!
Here, we are able to present something totally new and exciting, alongside Mick's traditional artwork, for you, lovely fans!
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.
The Sergal presented in the artwork is wearing a Reono styled outfit, they are visiting here in order to scout in advance for suitable materials. Due to their light set of clothing, it can be easily assumed Eltus people's village exist nearby.
Border regions in Talyxian biomes
Most of the areas in Astna are composed of wastelands or plains which feature few Talyxian biome. 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.
Talyxian plants in these areas are known to display a regularity or pattern to their shapes, similar in aspect to what Eltus plants have. These plants serve as a resource for Shamans and Northern Reono people.
The state of these biomes is considered to be the result of Talyxian Wolves, which have lived in these areas for a long period of time and have continued to cut away and trim at the flora and fauna in order to divide and mitigate it. (Of course, the deeper areas of the forests may be exempt from this condition.)
Included in the various flora presented are the horsetail-shaped weeds that were often seen in the Vilous manga episode 4, "The Twelve Plainswalkers." Depending on the conditions of the environment, these weeds are able to shift their coloration within a rough spectrum consisting of purple, beige and light blue.
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 amongst 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 General Rain's rule, 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 overharvesting.
Due to this update, we have created an article of Astna, available on Vilous Wiki!
As this is still in the preparation stage, there is an only brief summary of basic information. However, you will still find something new and interesting information on the article, such as Myriabushes (Gejigemi), a new creepy concept in the Vilous Universe!
As a result, here are three updated or newly created articles available on Vilous Wiki!
[Border Regions in Talyxian Biomes]
[Astna]
[Talyxian Resin Trees]
We hope these Lore-focused entries could help everyone learn more about the wonderful world of Vilous!

Very interesting... Mick has already recovered from his lesson on the wrist? :3
Good Work, keep it up. =D
Good Work, keep it up. =D
I was wondering if the team with the golden ring has planned to update the map of the planet Tal... is that the one that dates from 2015... does not provide much information about the tribe of different species and that... and I think it would be great if there was a better version to be able to guide us in the places where the story is happening... and for the fanfiction that we want to base on Tal. :3
PS: I hope that Mick can recover soon. :3

The problem with an updated map for Vilous at this point in time is that the manga is still in flux and not predefined with fixed locations and areas of action to be properly defined and inlayed across.
One must have definitive points across the script in order to inlay landmarks and have permanence. Otherwise you'd be looking at a Map that would constantly evolve and change throughout the creative process if need should arise.
Which is exactly what I am doing as a fan-note project for our Telegram community.

I see... thanks.
And I can join your telegram community?... I had heard that I had one but I never knew where to find it. :3

Of course, it is open to everyone. Contact me on Telegram under the same @ name as here.
I love this watercolor illustration, keeps everyting in the same mood acrosst the peace. The way the shadows are done, kinda a hard edge in some places but it fits vary well to show the depth of certain objects. I may be just saying nonsence but this really makse me whunt to do more watercolor art.
And now we have a good ref for the Talyxian Biomes colors.
