An unassuming seed quickens into life, sprouting into a small seedling, growing at a rapid pace into a sapling, a small tree, a medium tree, a large tree, continuing on and on, ballooning in size seemingly without end until it filled the earth below and sky above, stretching across all horizons. Sylvan had awakened within Creation.
Sylvan uses all his Essence, Flux and Essence and Flux caps to incorporate himself into the world, becoming The Forever Biggest Tree.
Sylvan uses one ichor to create the Eternal Forest, the afterlife for worshipers of Sylvan and the default afterlife of trees. Upon the death of a tree, it is reborn as a seed within the Eternal Forest, soon sprouting into a new seedling. Each tree in the forest has sufficient space, nutrients, sunlight and whatever other special conditions or needs it might have to grow to its maximum potential. Non-tree worshipers become a tree of their choice. All who enter the Eternal Forest immediately become trees.
Sylvan uses one ichor to transform as much wilderness as possible, that isn't already, into thick lush forests of mundane trees appropriate to their environments, but with a preference for larger varieties (e.g. giant redwoods or clonal colony trees such as the quaking/golden aspen.)
Using Ichor, Sylvan creates 200 clonal colonies of Evertrees. Resembling the mundane golden aspen which is their inspiration, they differ in several key aspects. Glowing with a faint inner golden radiance, their branches bud with a multitude of striking blue blossoms each winter, and bear tasty and nutritious but otherwise mundane berries all year round. No environment can be considered hostile for these extraordinary plants, who grow at terrifying speeds, their teleportation allowing them to propagate far and wide, or escape from threats. But being tougher than steel, few herbivores (or lumberjacks) can pose a threat to them.
They possess a certain steady-paced, wooden intelligence, thinking their slow tree thoughts. They communicate through vibration, whether with other Evertrees through intertwined root systems, or with creatures that touch their trunks and can interpret the vibrations and the quaking of their leaves. Evertrees emit a subtle pleasant fragrance and most creatures consider them quite charming, and indeed they are quite benign plants by and large, though rivaling kudzu in sheer ruthless reproduction. They are true immortals, even resurrecting if they should die. Have an affinity with Corpomancy

(Please tell me if I did something wrong in the following math. My thoughts with disease resistance +2 is it'll block lesser diseases that are just annoying, but be less able to resist more virulent and fatal diseases, but after succumbing to such a disease the Evertree just resurrects. Are my thoughts more or less accurate on how things should play out?)

Form three angels, the Arboreal Administrators, one for each planet and its attendant moon, using ichor. Refined and elegant small trees, with four humanoid arms emerging from its trunk. Can move and even fly around under their own power. Branches are laden with a million different blossoms, each with a unique appearance and fragrance, which are released in complex combinations as primary means of communication. In addition, is able to communicate with plants by joining its roots with theirs.
Chief responsibility is to oversee the general wellbeing of all trees, ensuring that they flourish across the worlds, in turn strengthening Sylvan.
