Myrrh Trees

The Myrrh Trees A Great Crystal relies on myrrh for its sustenance. Myrrh is a pure and holy liquid produced by myrrh trees, their large, radiant branches resembling mighty angelic wings that come together to a joined tip. From the tips of these branches is produced a single drop of myrrh. A myrrh tree ripe with myrrh will glow an otherworldly glow from afar, while a dried up tree will appear dull and will lack the radiance of a tree ready for harvest. To harvest myrrh, all one has to do is place the chalice upon the ancient pedestal underneath the myrrh tree. The chalice’s magic with do the work from there and collect the myrrh. While a Great Crystal requires 3 drops for its yearly sustenance, a myrrh tree will only produce a single, precious drop every 3 years. Because of this, crystal caravans are forced to journey far and wide to unclaimed myrrh trees, harvesting the myrrh and returning the myrrh to their settlements. To further complicate things, the presence of a myrrh tree attracts powerful monstrosities, leaving myrrh to be protected by colossal guardians. Many researchers have theorized why fiends guard the myrrh trees as vigilantly as they do, but many people simply dismiss the thought to the fiend’s innate cruelty and desire to see the tribes wiped from existence.
