Lore

This text is from reading the Stone of Sorrow throughout the quest.

The Great Dragon

Before your very eyes, words begin etching themselves on the face of the Stone of Sorrow. It seems to be giving you the beginning of the story of the fate of the Tree of Growth.

"The Great Dragon heard the call of the Mother of Nature. It was he that was to guard the Bloom of Growth, a divine flower placed by her before she departed our world in age's past."

"For some time, the Great Dragon watched over the Bloom, protecting it from any creature that might come too near his charge. The Bloom sat under the massive Tree of Growth, which provided it with care and sustenance, assuring that the fragile Bloom would continue to be strong and healthy."

"However, to the dismay of both the Great Dragon, and the Tree of Growth, an old enemy began to stir in the mountains. The city of giants began to awaken once again, and the giants within started to invade the Wakening Land once more, taking its resources for their own."

"The Great Dragon could easily deal with most giants without trouble, but soon, they began to come out in greater numbers. It became apparent that even the might of the Great Dragon himself could not stand against the whole of the city of giants, and he was forced to take the Bloom to somewhere where he could better care for it."

"The Tree of Growth provided the Bloom with what nurturing it could, before the Great Dragon took the Bloom to somewhere he could better watch over it. To cover his flight and protect the Wakening Land, the Tree of Growth prepared to stand against the giants."

"To be able to confront the giants, the Tree of Growth called on allies to help. All manner of creatures heard the beckon of the mighty tree, and came to it's aid - including the creatures known as the holgresh."

"As the Tree of Growth made its preparations and gathered its strength, the holgresh began to harass the giants as they marched into the Wakening Land. Using their speed and cunning, the holgresh were able to slow the advance of their enemy, and gave the Tree the time it needed."

The Holgresh

"The holgresh gave all they had, but in the end, the giants marched on. They cut away the trees and the animals that stood against them. They were making their way to the Tree of Growth, and there was little to stand against them."

"The Tree of Growth was prepared for their assault. Filled witht he power of Growth, it had once held the door to the dimension of Tunare's power. Although the portal was now closed, the Tree still carreid the raw power of Growth within it. This power would would be its weapon against the invaders."

"As the giants approached and bared their axes, the Tree of Growth unleashed its fury upon them. It summoned the wind to the blind the giants with dust and bits of the ground beneath it, called on the plants, molds, and fungus to release choking spores to debilitate their enemy, and finally, used its own roots as weapons when the giants advanced."

The Tree of Growth

"The Tree of Growth used its massive roots to lash at the approaching giants, shattering armor and snapping bones with each strike. Initially the giants fell back from the tree's attacks, unprepared for the assault they had endured. Finally, however, the giants worked on a plan, and made a final advance on the Tree of Growth."

"The giants coordinated their attacks, managing to chop off roots as they swung, and cleave limbs from the tree as they drew closer. Eventually, the tree grew weak as sap dripped from its cuts, covering the ground below. Soon, the roots feel (ingame typo) to the ground, the winds stopped, and the Tree of Growth grew still."

"Triumphant, the giants took their crude axes and cleaved away at the trunk of the tree. Those creatures that survived the attack of the giants watched in sorrow as the Tree of Growth, eldest and mightiest of all life in the Wakening Land, came crashing to the ground."

"From there, the giants began to clear out the Wakening Land, reducing it to a shadow of what it once was. They left the base of the tree where it once stood, a trophy and reminder to them of their conquest."
