'''Yggdrasil, the World Tree''' is a | '''Yggdrasil, the World Tree''', is a colossal tree, the base of which supports the [[Vashnar Mountains]] and the very [[Pillars of Heaven]]. It is said to stretch through not only much of [[Sapience]], but a good majority of the planar multiverse as well. Nestled in its branches is the draconic planar nexus known as the [[Parthren Gare]], while the lowest tips of its roots pierce the infernal [[:Category:Planes|plane]] of the [[Underworld]]. By way of Yggdrasil, the [[:Category:Gods|Gods]] and any They permit may travel with ease to any plane in existence. The best view of the tree is said to be in the [[Garden of the Gods]] itself, where one can see it stretching high into the sky in all its glory. | ||
The most famous feature of the World Tree is the [[Flame of Yggdrasil]]. | |||
In the year 758 AF, the mysterious [[the Vigil|Vigil]] guided adventurers from all over into awakening the [[elemental]] conduits of [[Earth plane|Earth]], [[Air plane|Wind]], and [[Water plane|Ocean]] under the pretence of wanting to protect the [[Prime Material Plane]] from the effects of the war that raged on the Elemental planes. Instead, combining the power of the conduits and that of blood sacrifice, they released [[Pazuzu]], the [[demon]] prince from his long-time prison. Exultant with his freedom, the demon prince killed his old-time jailor, [[Sh'Fah]] and corrupted the world before at last fleeing from a legion of [[Kx'Khrah]] bent on his recapture. The demon fled to the Flame of Yggdrasil, cleaving a portal into parts unknown. This act turned the life-giving flame into a doorway, allowing adventurers to enter the planar highway of the World Tree and visit the different planes and worlds held within its branches. | |||

A diverse array of extraplanar wildlife can be found braving life upon the illusory branches, including gobies, black-capped kingfishers, blue quails, cave crickets, spined caterpillars, killer honeybees, and a species of huge, venomous [[rats]] which are known to set upon unwary travellers. The Great [[Ausafoss]] cascades from the higher branches, coursing through the verdant [[Valdblomskog]] and about the World Tree's trunk. | |||

The fabled [[shard of Yggdrasian flame]], a rare [[:category:Auction Artefacts|artefact]] sold at auction in 541 AF, is an encapsulated fragment of the World Tree's resurrective potency which returns [[adventurers]] to life from any location. There are a number of other salubrious artefacts deriving their wholesome powers from the sacred tree including the [[Yggdrasian splinter]] and [[Yggdrasian vial]]. Finally a number of themed talisman artefacts are also available only through the [[:category: Yggdrasil talisman set|Yggdrasil talisman set]]. | |||
