The Yggdrasil is the mystical cosmic tree that grew from the seed of creation and gave rise to all Magic.
Description
The Yggdrasil was a tree of astronomical proportions, its branches encompassed the entire world and are even said to have held the stars and planets in place. Through its branches a special energy flowed, flooding the cosmos with it. The first witches obtained infinite magic from the tree and its energy. However, its power withered with time until all that remained was its branches, called Ley Lines. This signaled the end of the great age of magic. However, the heart of Yggdrasil and the seed from which creation sprout was protected and passed down secretly among witches, a power known as the magic that can reconstruct the world, Grand Triskellion. It was sealed in Arcturus Forest by the the Nine Olde Witches, preserving it.
In Lore
- Yggdrasil (translated as Odin's Horse) is part of the Norse Cosmology. According to several sources, Yggdrasil is a tree of eldritch proportions, whose role is to hold the nine realms including Earth (Midgard), Heaven (Asgard), and Underworld (Niflheim). Perhaps coincidentally, the number of realms matches the of the Nine Olde Witches. Their connection, if any, is currently unknown.
