the Deeproot Tree is more than just the progenitor of living things and connection to the divine power that shaped Crystalia. It is an avatar of life itself, and while it seems to have no consciousness, it undeniably possesses both will and intent. The Mother Tree acts in a variety of ways, though the most obvious and common are through its roots. These reach deep into every realm of Crystalia (and into the Nether Realms as well) and act as conduits for the Tree’s generative power. And these distant, often isolated, outposts of life possess their own protectors in the fennek .
And the Tree of Life buried its roots deep in the soil of Crystalia, and there it thrived. In time, its roots took hold throughout all of the realms and where they spread, life green and eternal sprang forth. Its trunk towered above the realms and its canopy spread wide and covered the land. So it became the beating heart of Crystalia. Heart of the World. The Binding. All-Father. Yngdral. The Eternal Tree.
