The Usufruct
Fruit of the Red Tree of The Dead Land; a symbol of use and enjoyment. It appears to take the form of two intertwined machine wheels, the teeth of which are meshed and biting into each other in opposition. To the druids, who revered triadic memory, and evoked forms of The Three in their recited cants and orisons, something appears missing.
In the myths of the Gorsedd, great enlightenment was sought in the contemplation of the Endless, named Ceugant, yet this consciousness was threatened by a malevolent entity named Cythraul: the Opposer, the Adversary; Destruction.
Through the Iron Trees, the silviculture of the druids sought to heal the Land defiled by war; they had discovered a process of phytoremediation, whereby woven osiers and swithies of the Trees, through careful nurturing and coppicing, could decontaminate a land polluted by heavy metals and slaughter, through a natural process of rhizofiltration.
Yet the Gorsedd fought against the Adversary to no avail, in order to determine who would truly own the Land. Some scholars have claimed that the ancient druids never followed a warlike tradition, and that the Enemy was a far later invention, of the age of the Iron Trees, and the wars amongst the Great Powers.
