Emra Tree

The Emra Tree is an enormous tree in the center of the Emra Lithe's encampment. It has existed long before memory, and has aided the Emra Lithe in their connection to dreams and the Everwilds.

Design

The bottom of the tree is slightly uprooted and open. It is almost two stories tall to an average person when entering the first floor of the tree. This is where the Druids hold their teachings and gatherings.
Bookshelves are lined against the walls, with scattered stone tables and seats. A big firepit is contained within the center, always glowing like a flame but never burning. This is the soul of the tree. Within the first floor is a carved wooden spiral staircase that goes into the tree and up to the next floor.
The second floor is just as large in height as the first, though slightly smaller (not by much) in width. The walls have a few open gaps in the tree that are the same size as an archway. This is where council meetings and such take place. The middle of the room contains a large wooden table that can comfortably seat up to 30 members. The center of the table includes a crystal that allows the druids to tap into the tree and the forces of nature around it. A gift was given to the druids when they built this place from the tree. The spiral staircase goes up one more floor.
The third and final floors take up only half of what the first and second floors did in the archdruid chambers. Like the gaps on the second floor, the third had them, and one led to a balcony showing him the circle's northern side. The tree is much taller and continues, but there are no more floors—the rest of the tree houses Majllit within the upper areas.

Environmental Effects

The leaves spread out like a vast umbrella across the circle. They are said to contain a healing property that can cure some poisons. But no one can reach them, and if tried, the tree is enchanted and cannot be plucked. The tree is alive, and only with permission will it bear its fruit. If one wishes for a leaf, they may ask the archdruid, who will ask the tree, then will fetch a Majllit (or ask a Majllit who will ask the tree) to get one. The leaves never fall and change color according to the temperature. The colder the weather, the leaves turn blue, and the bark grows paler.
