Though it began as but a tiny sapling, they nurtured it and loved it. As it grew, the collective effort to care for the communal tree became a symbol of unity for them. Traditions slowly formed, and it was embraced as part of their identity and culture. Fallen leaves were gathered to make wedding wreathes, newborns would get christened with sap, and the dead would get buried at the roots. After many generations, it started to reach an incredible size.
The shade provided by its leaves gave comfort to the people and helped flowers and gardens to grow without baking in the sun, meanwhile, more birds and bees were able to build nests. A simple benefit to the local ecology, but the "increase in life" that was brought about near the tree was viewed with awe, and it was softly regarded as sacred.
The reverence, belief, and love directed at the tree fed it the spiritual energy of Amandla. The supernatural forces allowed the tree to now reach otherwise impossible proportions, and eventually, it begun to think. After becoming aware of herself and the world, she felt an immense gratitude and affection for the humans that raised her. She hopes to protect them from the dangers of the cruel and unforgiving world.
Lesches, please correct my build if I got anything wrong. Also, could you elaborate on the world map? Specifically, the colors of the different locations. I understand the shape represents whether it's a village/town/city, but are the colors an indication of the aligned element or something?
