Another endemic vegetative species found in Yew are the rare Silverleaf trees. Various creatures are known to inhabit the woods around the city, such as the nature-loving Emps. The mysterious creatures known as wisps also make the Yew woods their home.

Empath Abbey, the stronghold of the principle of Love, is also found in the city. It is also a monastery, known for the monks that make the best wine in Britannia.
