Trees of Sanctuary

Trees of Sanctuary are large tree-like plants made up of several different kinds of flora. These “trees” can stretch between one and two hundred meters into the air. Their lower canopy is built of thick branches supported by heavy, twisting vines, with some canopies measuring nearly a kilometer in diameter.

The trees are well known to be the main source of the magic that has caused the overgrowth, or at least a hub for it. They are semi-sentient, due to their over-saturation of magic, and actively aid in helping those living in and around them. The Mother's Shepherds take excellent care of the tree they live in, and many druids both of and separate from the Mother’s Shepherds worship the trees, considering them holy beings.

Trees of Sanctuary are made from the plants that surround them. This has resulted in a few spectacular versions such as the Giant Mushroom Tree of Sanctuary within Kurleigh as well as several Kelp and Seagrass Trees underwater. There even exists one Coral Tree of Sanctuary. Though many argue that it’s not a true Tree due to Corals being animals, it still functions as any other tree and is used similarly.
