[@LadyRunic] There is no thing as a Taiga tree...it's a collection of trees including but not limited to elm, pine, poplar, and ash trees. Yes it's a colder climate, in some parts but in the lower parts, it can be warmer. Not to mention that it's my understanding that the courts weren't actually named in relation to temperature, but rather the connotations each bring. 


The Taiga forest is a specific forest, spanning Russia and some of Northern Europe.
