Difference between revisions of "Tree landmark"

Located at the center of the [[Temple of Gaia]] in the [[Western Ithmia]] [[:Category:Forests|forest]], the '''tree landmark''' was the focal point for the local energies fallen from the dead star [[Ethian]]. Once a [[year]], during [[Ethian's Crossing]] in [[Sarapin]], the tree could be influenced and its energies swayed toward either generating [[devotional essence|devotion]] or [[necromantic essence|essence]]. To influence the tree's alignment, icicles from the [[Vashnar Mountains]] and cubes of blackwater from [[Lake Belladona]] had to be melted on the tree. When more icicles were melted, the tree became known as the '''Gaian Tree''', while more cubes of blackwater melted brought '''[[Thoth|Thoth's]] Bough''' into being. (The Gaian Tree was so named because it was used to imprison [[Gaia]] after She was driven to madness and slew [[Twilight]] in what is today referred to as [[Gaia's betrayal]]. Several years after, She was cured and released. Later still, the Gaian Tree became the '''Great Oak''' after releasing its [[Divine essence|essence]] to save the forests after Gaia's departure, though it continued to represent the "[[Good]]" aspect of the tree landmark in this renamed form.)
