Woodland Stride The ta'apundo ignores difficult and greater difficult terrain from foliage. Seed Survivors The Green Mother, one of the erratic fey deities known collectively as the Eldest, planted the seeds for several ta'apundos across the world long ago. With the devastation of Earthfall and the destruction of natural places across much of the world, most ta'apundo seeds were destroyed. In the Mwangi Expanse, however, many seeds took root. Most ta'apundos that exist on Golarion—which are far fewer than the number in the First World—can be found in the Mwangi jungles.
