Fauna and Flora
Being a continent of such vast size, Seanchan has a great diversity of terrain and climate. There are many striking creatures on Seanchan not found elsewhere in the world, animals that seem to belong only in children's fairy tales. Because the Seanchan use many of these animals in war, the peoples of the eastern continent are now coming into contact with them through the Seanchan invasion.
In Chapter 18 of World, Jordan describes torm, corlm, lopar, grolm, raken and to'raken.

Famous quotes containing the words fauna and/or flora:
“The whole fauna of human fantasies, their marine vegetation, drifts and luxuriates in the dimly lit zones of human activity, as though plaiting thick tresses of darkness. Here, too, appear the lighthouses of the mind, with their outward resemblance to less pure symbols. The gateway to mystery swings open at the touch of human weakness and we have entered the realms of darkness. One false step, one slurred syllable together reveal a man’s thoughts.”
—Louis Aragon (1897–1982)
“A man’s interest in a single bluebird is worth more than a complete but dry list of the fauna and flora of a town.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
