how does the tumblr icon play into the world, do trees with no leafs have a deep meaning to them?
It’s isn’t trees per say that are important, it’s more so one single tree that carries a lot of meaning when you get down to it. While I am trying not to give much away for the story, just think about how I mentioned Life && Death in a lore post here but I will also just quote their fact here:
Olk, is completely different than those three though, believing in the concept of ‘ essences ‘ and treating everything as you would want to be treated. the essence of life is honored by planting new trees, taking care of fallen animals and the essence of death is showed honor by never wasting a game they kill, and showing respects to their, and other’s dead ancestors. Not only is it with those two essences though, as shadows and light are also worshiped in their own little way.
While that’s a lot of information right there, might as well also give you this information as well:
Naito, Nero and Rei have been friends since they were 8 - 10 respectively. They use to have a meeting spot due to Naito and Nero’s father being a KNiGHT and used a growing tree deep within the woods as such. Back then, the plant life and animals were both prosperous and fed Rei, who had to hunt all by herself, very well.
So that single tree, is very meaningful, especially with no leaves. Will you be able to figure out what that tree means though without playing the game? Who knows, I’m terrible at giving clues without extremely hinting to the answer. It at least doesn’t spoil the story, just the lore. Thanks again for sending an ask anon, as they are always deeply appreciated and we are always open for more questions!
