» The Tree of Light

The Tree of Light It was time for something exciting to happen, something that embraced the Rift inhabitants in a way that they hadn’t felt since their arrival. And it just so happened to be the time worth celebrating, for granting gifts and happiness in any little way that they could. Kisamoa had started it, with his hope – now it was their turn to continue to favor. The Loricatrunc were the guardians of the great tree of the south – large elephant like beasts that originally had a bit of a temper had you gotten too close. But this was a day of celebrating, a day where they adorned small little trinkets on their tusks and merrily hummed as they pushed their magic against the harsh heat of Scorch to create a bubble a good distance around the tree – filling it with a nice relief of colder weather and soft fluffy snow. It wasn’t anything like the snow that Freeze had dropped upon the land with it’s unrelenting cold and icy temperatures – this was temperate, soft and nice and welcoming as light began to encompass the land. Where the tree had originally been blackened beyond repair from damage caused long before it was dragged to the Rift, the creatures worked together to create a healthy, decorated tree, with limbs both high and low to the ground for decorating. Three Matrons stood near the base of the tree, the oldest and wisest one with wrinkles along her eyes from smiling stood among the center, flanked by two younger Loricatrunc that observed the work they had done. Originally these beasts couldn’t speak in a tone that most creatures could hear, but today they were trying something different, something that could bring the inhabitants to them and grant them a wish. A smile creased the corners of the eldest Matron’s face as she reached her trunk to the sky and called for them all. “Come everyone! We have gifts to give and happiness to spread!” The rumble shook through the lands as it left the eldest Matron’s lips. “It is a gift from us to you for bringing light back to the darkness. Come enjoy yourselves, talk and laugh amongst one another. Make friends new and old, and be happy.” They then waited for everyone to join, smiling at those that approached in wait. Joy seemed to swell through the little bubble created by the Matrons, pulsing and vibrating in a way that felt contagious.

Welcome to the first Tree of Light of the Rift!

The rules are simple, decorate the tree with something of meaning (don’t worry, you’ll get it back! :D) and offer a little wish/prayer to the Matron’s in the front!

The first gift from the tree is for all those that have a companion from the Helovia transfer – your companion sickness is now healed! Feel free to display this in any way, as if breaking the bubble the talking resumes or whichever creative way you see fit! It’s not just in the bubble either, it’s completely healed!

Second, in the OOC part of your post, please choose what kind of wish/gifts your character would like! This can be anything from a new item to fixing a mutation that's either physical or on your magic! There will be rolls to see what you get that include other secret gifts, so feel free to toss a few things out you might like.

Have fun and happy holidays <3 The next post will be on December 26th!
