In the beginning there was land, and there was Tree. No one but Tree knows how either came to be, and Tree doesn't tell.

​

Tree is the god of this realm, and in the Valley what Tree says goes. Tree decides the weather,Tree pours magic into the land. Those who make their home here, and are open to Tree, have a connection with Tree to some extent. 

​

Eventually Tree reached out to a man who became the caretaker for the woods and those who inhabit it. Flawless communication between Tree and other creatures is impossible, but the caretaker does his best to ensure the prosperity of the valley through Tree regardless.
