Hatlakin

Hatlakin are a plant native to Joren.

Background
Elaborate rose trellises that stretched from the floor to the upper deck, some twenty feet. Symmetrical silvery slats that formed the hatlakins’ diamond-shaped structure were pretty, but hardly any sort of a challenge. In fact, the slats were so close together even a toddler could have climbed up one of them. Jorenians utilize them in challenges of agility, whoever gets to the top first, wins. However when the trellises are climbed, the innocuous silver slats undulates as if they were melting. Pointed spikes of various sizes will begin extruding from the slats, directly at the climbers hands, bodies, and feet. These plants are also used to protect the properties of HouseClans.
