1. The Universal Bounty of the Trees
Mana Lakes
Each tree was surrounded by a massive lake of pure mana, shimmering with ethereal light. The water from these lakes was no ordinary liquid—it was mana in its most concentrated form, capable of revitalizing and empowering anyone who consumed it.
Civilizations drank this mana-rich water to enhance their physical and magical abilities.
The water cured ailments, extended lifespans, and provided a sense of invigoration unmatched by any previous source.
Fruits of Power
The fruits of these trees were the most sought-after treasures. Radiating with divine energy, they had transformative properties:
Consuming a single fruit could raise a person's level, increasing their strength and abilities exponentially.
The fruits were also imbued with unique powers, granting individuals abilities such as enhanced perception, elemental manipulation, or even limited immortality.
Leaves of Life
Even the fallen leaves of the trees were revered:
When brewed into teas or elixirs, they provided immense stamina and vitality.
Crushed leaves were used in alchemy, creating potions and artifacts of unparalleled power.
