Elder Trees

Durothil, Father of the Elder trees, is known for his unrivaled healing properties and serves as home and deity to the Wood Elves

While Starfalls are rare, Starfalls bearing Elder Seeds are even more so. No one knows where in the cosmos these seeds come from, but once they reach the land they grow into Elder Trees. The sap of these trees is made of pure, cosmic Kaos (commonly known as magic) and their roots are believed to connect to more than just the soil, but to the energy of the universe itself.

Over millennia, Elder Trees have developed a symbiotic relationship with the Elf species, who don’t just make their homes in Elder Tree Groves, but worship them as deities, and use the sap of the trees, Elder Sap, as a healing psychedelic and spiritual nourishment. But while the Sap may be consumed safely by elves with the guidance of an Elven Priestess, Elder Tree fruit is toxic to them and all other species of the land, though the elemental dragons of the sky have proven capable of consuming it. Each Elder Tree is unique and connects to an aspect of Kaos (or magic), such as Durothil, Father of the Elder trees, known for his unrivaled healing properties.
