Lifewood Tree

The Lifewood tree is one of many types of Essence Trees—among the most abundant followed closely by the Manawood and then elemental types; Fire, Water, Wind, Earth. These trees are, however, rare in their own right and found most often in environments rich with their particular energy. (Lifewood trees are an exception to this trend; being found often in desolate, lifeless areas where few resources exist to sustain an ecosystem. There they act as a life-catalyst, allowing plants and – consequently– animal life to flourish until it is no longer needed. The Lifewood tree can often be found in the company of other essence trees, particularly the Water and Earth tree as these provide the most aid to its' own purpose.
