The High Prince of Malinor and The story of Laurelin
zevandir
A powerful Arch Druid from one of Malinor's eldest cities came to Aegis to help us with the erecting of Laurelin's trees. I met him at the cobblestone spires to the west of the Aegis Temple. We set off on foot to a mountain gorge I had come across that would act as a natural barrier to our foes. Once we arrived, the Druid wandered around in the valley reaching into a pouch at his hip every so often. He showed me the seeds in said pouch and they had tiny, intricate vines woven around them, with a shine very similiar to glowstone. Whilst my brigade of builders were creating the city's defensive wall, trees began to grow exponentially! It seemed as though the trees grew faster the taller they got and soon the canopy raised hundreds of feet above us. It was a wonderful sight, the leaves sprung out of the branches with a burst of the similiar glowstone sheen, and sprinkles of metallic dust swirled down from the tree tops. :: ::There was still, however, a large clearing in the centre of the city. This of course was for the mother tree. A tree to harbour them all. He grabbed a bit of parchment from his satchel and look over at me reassuringly. The Arch Druid then walked to the centre of the clearing, and began to cast a powerful spell upon one of the seeds. leaves suddenly spun around him wildly, and a wonderful green color radiated from him like an aura. ::The tree' trunk sprouted around him, and he was no longer in view. I was rather frightened when I saw this, hoping he hadn't cast the spell incorrectly. As the Mother Tree grew to its ultimate height, I saw a small opening half way up the tree. Low and behold, the Arch Druid stood in the opening proclaiming "This is where the stone alter shall lie." :: ::Once the trees seemed to stop growing, we climbed up the trees with packs of wooden planks and began setting down the first few platforms. In time, Laurelin had become of the finest city's of Malinor, and to think it had all begun with just a pouch of seeds and a pinch of druid magic. Here.
