The Five Trees: Before the Order

The Order of Radiant Dawn will tell you the Five Trees have always been theirs to protect. They're not entirely wrong. What they won't tell you is that the Trees were here thousands of years before the Order existed — planted by five primordial beings, tended by guardian families of every race, and anchored to a world the Order neither built nor saved. This is the history they buried. In Part 1 of this two-part lore documentary, we trace the true origin of the Five Trees — from the Age of Guardians to the Cataclysm that broke the world, through the Arcane Wars that institutionalized persecution, and into the emergence of a sixth primordial force that has spent a millennium finding the right vessel. His name is Thargram. And he believes he serves the light. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔔 LIKE & SUBSCRIBE New lore drops every week.
