The city is spiritually and physically anchored by its connection to three sacred trees: > [!abstract] Sacred Lineage > - **Adar'Sha** - The Great Mother Tree in [[Region - High Vel'Nora]] > - **Oka Naala** - The Tree of Water on Isle Forna in Edaria > - **Vashin'Sadaa** - The Tree of Fire on Isle Forna in Edaria ## Architecture The monumental trees in Treeheart tower over 600 feet high, growing up to three times larger than the surrounding forest to create an enormous super-canopy of woven leaves and branches. It is within this elevated haven, held aloft by these ancient botanical titans, that the city exists. The entire city is living architecture—buildings are grown rather than built, shaped by centuries of wood elf cultivation and druidic magic. ## The Rising Chair Within the elevated heights of Treeheart sits [[Landmark - The Rising Chair]], serving as the great throne of the wood elf people and the seat of [[NPC - Tree-King Olandir]]'s power. ## Government The Elvish Court of Silvaria operates from Treeheart, led by [[NPC - Tree-King Olandir]] alongside his six brother-princes of [[Faction - House Greenroot]]. Here the ancient traditions are upheld with an iron will, ensuring that while the forest may be shrinking, the spirit of the wood remains as fierce and untamed as it was a thousand years ago. ## Notable Locations - [[Landmark - The Rising Chair]] - The wood elf throne
