World Tree - Sun Tree - Ton-Kuauitl

In the arid expanse of the Caluan Desert, the Ton-Kuauitl, or Sun Tree, rises like a celestial sentinel. Its silver bark glows with an ethereal light, reflecting the sun's rays during the day and the moon's glow at night. The tree’s golden leaves are said to be fragments of the sun itself, and its rare, radiant fruit grants vitality and strength to those deemed worthy. This World Tree is revered by the Süntek for harnessing and distributing the sun's life-giving energy across Galfin. Its base is protected by the Carthureagus, a great labyrinth designed to deter all but the most determined and worthy seekers. The Süntek perform ancient rites at dawn, invoking the Sun Tree’s blessings for prosperity and protection. The Ton-Kuauitl serves as a celestial conduit, linking the mortal realm with the divine, ensuring the harmony of cosmic forces.

Called the Sun Tree by the Süntek

"The World Trees are greatly important to the cosmic order. The Botanoron, the Ton-Kuauitl (Suntek word for Sun Tree, what other cultures call the World Tree), the damaged Rokau Tree (known as the Great Ashen Tree because it was heavily damaged in the Summer of Smoke)"

A large tree that stands in the middle of the desert, its roots stretch further than the Caluan desert itself so it receives proper nourishment even though it is in the heat of Calua. The roots have runes carves into them that are ancient elvish. This tree is said to be the connection point of the world, the heavens, the hells, the past and the future. A faction of fire elves lives around this tree and protect it. They are the Suntek elves, a protective ancient sect of elves who carved runes into the tree every year, these are the symbols people can read on the world roots themselves. They are known as the Pyrographers.

The centre of the tree is what attaches the various elements of essence, life time and death. This is the direct connection to Nimbreach. It is known as the Heartwood
