Of Beast, Tree and Dragon In the sea of shade, there was the Varldstrad, a Great Tree tall and strong. Its branches mighty, its needles full, its cones brimming with life; it was old and wise, a beacon in the endless dark. So full of life was the great tree that its own branches began to grow too far, twisting upon themselves. So Varldstrad gathered its own bark and leaves and sacrificed its own sap; then bark became body, sap became blood, and leaves became wings, and thus was born the Dragon, whose task was to weed out the excess life from the tree’s great boughs. But the Dragon's hunger was great, and it threatened to devour more than mere roots and pests. So Varldstrad gathered its bark, leaves and sap once more; then bark became body, sap became blood, and needles became fur, and thus was born the Beast, whose task was to protect the tree’s precious cones, to guard them against the Dragon. These great guardians would never see eye-to-eye and fought innumerable mighty clashes against the other, but they would share their home all the same - each preserving it in their own way.

I can't seem to get line breaks to work properly, so as a workaround for now, I'll just use quotes. It does give me the opportunity to put down some creative notes/thoughts below the text, though.

Varldstrad is my take on the concept of a great tree, chiefly inspired by the Norse Yggdrasil, the Irish Bíle, as well as the Erdtree in Elden Ring and the Millwood in Dark Souls III.

Varldstrad (whose name is Swedish for "world tree") is a pine tree whose cones hold realms inside. Since so much of Beast Blood is about resilience and the cold, I deemed it fitting to have the Varldstrad be an evergreen. Conifers are also my favorite trees in general, so naturally they were the first thing I thought of.
