I like the world tree idea, but if you cut bits off, how would it regrow? Also, would it work like cutting into a mountain except you get wood instead of rock? Would the xylem and phloem tubes be big enough to make rope out of? Would other creatures live in the world trees? Would it be possible to strand yourself in them and never come down, or would bits fall off? would it experience the seasonal changes? would there be world tree saplings?

[Hoborobo234]

Maybe... Giant Termites?

[Belteshazzar]

Elves, and other wyrd things? Perhaps they would consider the aerial wold their domain and your intrusion an invitation for death.

[Rowanas]

theirs or mine? theirs of course, silly question.

[Heron TSG]

Okay, I'm back.

For world trees, we got some ideas... we may need more.

*Phloem and Xylem tubes being either ropes or... TUNNELS.

*Giant termites

*Elves

*Vikings

*Odineyes. (Odin got knowledge for an eye, and that was his LASER SHOOTING EYE! vreeeeeeoooooooooop KCRTCHOW!

*What are Wyrd things?

not too much help is it?

Big, important trees are such a common theme in mythology that it's almost senseless NOT to include them in some fashion.

Abrahamic religion has at least two, Norse religion has one, the Mayans had one, etc.

*cough* Tolkien *cough*

I knew a silmarillion reference would pop up. those tree's weren't big, just fancy.

Anyways, describe the abrahamic ones, G-flex. never heard of em.

[G-Flex]

Tree of Life and Tree of Knowledge don't ring a bell?

I mean, they're not quite the "huge tree" archetype, but they're still extremely IMPORTANT and divine/magical, and represent universal concepts.

[Heron TSG]

Oh yeah! Those ones that threw two naked humans out of a garden for eating fruit! anyways, no more talking about religion, we may get sucked into the DEPTHS OF FLAMING.

speaking of that, I heard ingame trees don't burn down. is this true?

[G-Flex]

... You just basically sucked yourself into it. Is it not possible to even mention religion without someone feeling the need to crack wise about it?

[Heron TSG]

I suppose I did.

Is it true trees don't burn?

[G-Flex]

Yeah, I think they manage to survive wildfires, possibly because they're sort of treated like constructions or possibly for some other reason.

[Rowanas]

It's because trees only catch fire if there's fire in their tile, and because there's a tee there, fire can't be there, so they don't catch fire. Thats how grass burns, don't cha know?
