”What a waste. That venison came from the Wild Treehorns in the Kingdom of Scarlet Flame. They ’re quite costly to import, ” Helia Ashenborn casually muttered with a shake of her head.

The Wild Treehorns were a species of deers with tree-like horns and wood-like hooves. They were endowed with the wood element.
