3,000 years ago, in order to save Ashoka, the holy tree had relied on the power it had accumulated to become one with the city of Ashoka.
The city in the sky, Ashoka, was the Holy Tree’s lifeblood. Once the city fell, it also represented the fate of the Holy Tree Dying.
Thus, Ashoka’s fall in height was a sign of the Holy Tree’s decline.
The Council of elders had been searching for a cure. Initially, they had thought of using the help of the frost elves, but unfortunately, their plan had failed.
Other than some unrealistic methods, the elders had also found the simplest way, which was to inject the lives of their own people into the holy tree as energy.
Legend had it that the elves themselves were born from the world tree. Every time a member of their race died, they would hold a ‘tree burial’.
The Dead High Elves would be rolled up by the Holy Tree’s branches and leaves, eventually turning into specks of starlight and entering the tree trunk.
