"Sprawling across both banks of the river stood the mighty graht-oak city, with groves and orchards of lesser trees crowding it like supplicants before their king. At a lesser scale, the tree that formed the moving city would have been extraordinary: gnarled and twisted with a gorgeous crown of gold and green, dripping with vines and shining with sap. At a mile tall and half as wide, it was the most magnificent thing Scotti had ever seen." — from A Dance in Fire

The graht-oaks are massive, ambulatory trees native to Valenwood. The Bosmer are known to build entire cities in the branches of these great trees, most famously Falinesti. In their mighty boughs, Bosmer live alongside the ape-like Imga in a mobile ecosystem, coaxing the living wood into pathways winding around hide structures nestled in hollows. Emblematic of their reverence for nature, the Bosmeri Tower, Green-Sap, is represented in each and all of the graht-oaks, rather than in a single erected structure as with White-Gold and Ada-Mantia.
