| Name: Treeline Stairwell Peak Description: This is a unique oddity as a cluster of trees in the Land of Echoes have been aligned like a spiral staircase winding around each other with the center being occupied by the largest tree in the forest stretching so high into the sky that it is rumored to touch the clouds. What is up there one will never know. The upper layer is home to the not only the tallest trees out of the cluster but also the tallest trees in the Shinobi World, each typically being at least 8000ft high & having trunk diameters of 750 ft (at base). On average the trees are around 9000 to 16,000 ft tall, with trunk diameters of 825-1,500ft and in the very center lies the tree species known as Yggdrasil. This species of tree in Dobutsu mythology to have a single seed stolen by Kami and given to the humans as a gift, Gaia would lament while Datara would overhear Her confrontation with Kami and decided to taint the tree given to the humans. That tree in question was a sapling Yggdrasil and became known as the Shinju Tree. The tallest among them is known as Olympus Mons towering above them all at 32,000ft it is named such due to being comparable to a mountain and it is rumored that at the top of the ever growing tree one is able to speak to Gaia. All of the wood of comprising the trees of Treeline Stairwell secrete sap which makes them fire resistant and the wood itself is chakra resistant with the older a tree is the more resistant to chakra it is (older trees of this type are always the tallest). Chakra Consumed to Stick to each Post (Total) - Height of TreeD - Base to 500ft C - 501 to 1000ft B - 1,001 to 1,500ft A - 1,501 to 2,000ft S - 2,001 to 3,000ft SS - 3,001 to 5,000ft SSS - 5,000 to 10,000ft Unable to Stick at All - 10,001ft+ Exact Location within Area Center Current Places Within- - Olympus Mons Shrine:
Olympus Mons has not yet stopped growing but at the top in the canopy of branches Aria discovered an ancient shrine devoted to Gaia. She managed to refurbish it after entering a trance using vines with the branches moving to create a habitable shrine and before the trance was over she felt the overwhelming need to bring the most devoted within each of the Tribes to Gaia so as to be Gaia's priestesses. Aria as the high priestess of Gaia has declared this Shrine as the true temple of Gaia, and only those who are ready to commit themselves to dedicating their life to the worship of Gaia may step foot in it. Due to the sheer size of the tree and the difficulty of not only climbing but even flying to the top in one go it is isolated from the rest of the Land of Echoes with the priestesses who live on it being cut off even from their own Tribes.
Altitude Sickness Height - Reaction Debuff (Those which require breathing or not adapted to a specific height) - Additional Effect
8000 to 13,000ft - 1-rank - Dizziness results in 1-rank higher Strength required to negate knockback, victims always stumble when operating at Max Tier levels unless they possess and equal rank balancing technique
13,001 to 18,000ft - 2-ranks - Fatigue Lost due to Tiers Doubled
18,001 to 23,000ft - 3-ranks - Dizziness & Disorientation lowering Long-ranged techniques to Mid-ranged otherwise accurately throwing them requires Equal-rank reaction to the rank of the technique (1-rank Lower if backed by strength+speed)
23,001 to 28,000ft - 4-ranks - Fatigue Lost due to Tiers Tripled
28,001 to Canopy - 5-ranks - Dizziness & Disorientation lowering Long & Mid-ranged techniques to Short-ranged otherwise accurately throwing them requires 1-rank Higher (Former) or Equal-rank (Latter) reaction respectively to the rank of the technique (1-rank Lower if backed by strength+speed in both cases)

- - Kirin Steppe:
Hidden beneath Olympus Mons deep underground and cradled within the great tree's roots is Kirin Steppe which due to it's location looks quite unique due to the roots of the tree crackling with lightning ever so often. It is as if one is in an underground plain if one looks outside of the temple that they are transported to. This is called this specifically due to the fauna which dwell here, as one would know that it is reported that no one see Kirin young, it is for this specific reason. This is their breeding ground and while most will roam the plains freely few are contracted to the Temple to serve as guardians for a specific artifact. The temple itself is quite beautiful constructed very ornately and depicting the history of both Kirin and the Artifact in question.
