Grand Holt

The Grand Holt is a massive fig tree, its main trunk being more than 20 feet in diameter, that supposedly predates the city of Absalom. According to myth, when Aroden rested the first day after raising the Isle of Kortos, he took shade and nourishment from the only plant to arise with the island, the Grand Holt. It has never been pruned, and when it grows into homes or streets, the Grand Council pays to have the homes moved and new roads built. The Grand Holt is now a collection of 17 distinct trunks, intertwined and twisting about one another, with a floor of solid root that covers an area the size of a city block.
