Fiction:Eondrassilia

Eondrassilia was the Old Colossus of Nature, governing of the school of floramancy of the Source. A tree of titanic size, whose branches were said to pierce the sky and whose roots were told to dig enough to reach the world's center, it is often said to have been the creator of all non-sapient lifeforms at the dawn of. It was ultimately torn from its foundations and destroyed sometime before recorded history, though a shade of it survives to this day in the realm known as the Garden of the Gods.

History
According to the myths of the ancient Colossi, Eondrassilia was born in the center of the world after Koldenwelt was shaped by the four great elemental gods. Sprouting from a seed planted by, the World Tree immediately grew until her branches pierced the clouds, and from her deific energies, all domains of lifeforms were born and spread across the planet; the first generation of archaea, bacteria and eukarya, who would with time evolve into the modern plants, animals, fungi and microorganisms. During the dawn of life, Eondrassilia was maintained by numerous ents, while the Colossus of Poison inhabited her interior, digging through her trunk to build himself a lair - despite their opposing natures, Eondrassilia and Teratoma were said to live in perfect harmony.

It is said that the ancestors of certain western cultures, such as the Aithrena elves and the, revered Eondrassilia and its ents. However, the World Tree was eventually assaulted and killed alongside its ent protectors; the culprit of the attack is not known in modernity, though it is assumed to have been either, , , or Nalúnt the Fallen. Legends say the World Tree fell upon the Eastern Continent, the impact with the ground causing the Everwinter Highlands to rise from the earth while its leaves and branches became the Western Forests. The few records of the incident existing today erroneously claim Teratoma gnawed Eondrassilia's roots until she fell, something which has contributed to the tarnishing of the Old Poison Colossus' reputation.

While long dead, a fragment of Eondrassilia remains within 's realm of the Garden of the Gods; a ghostly shade of the World Tree is visible across that realm, but a fragment of her former glory, though enough to give an idea of what she was once like.

Appearance
Eondrassilia was, in terms of physical appearance, an unremarkable female giant sequoia. She differed from her peers for her monstrous size; tales claim the World Tree was at least five kilometers tall, making her one of the largest beings to exist in the Aethereal Firmament. Her fruit was equally massive, though it was carefully harvested by her ents so that it would not crash-land into the surface and cause unintentional devastation.

Personality
As a sequoia tree, Eondrassilia was devoid of senses or motion. Her will was allegedly carried by her ents, who were described as welcoming beings who sought only the prosperity of life. Whether the World Tree was sentient is disputed among scholars, and with many arguing it to be the case due to her nature as a goddess. Eondrassilia herself was said to have only directly communicated with her ents and with Teratoma, making determining the extents of its 'personality' impossible.

Abilities
Eondrassilia, as a Colossus, was a god of the mortal world, though her nature as a tree means her interactions with the world were limited. She is said to have been the progenitor of all non-sapient life, a claim disputed by many due to a lack of concrete proof in the modern day. As most of her existence took place before recorded history, the full extent of Eondrassilia's powers is only documented by the Simulacrum of Knowledge in the modern era.
