Great Trees
Great Trees are a classification of multiple tree species. As such, it is not limited to one type of tree. At one point in history, there were thousands of great trees. Over millennia they have mostly died off, and only a small handful remain.
Origins
According to Dryad mythology, the great trees were created by the forest goddess in an attempt to make guardians of the forests. The dryads were formed alongside them to watch over and guard the first Great Trees. Since then the forest goddess disappeared, and with her also went most dryads and great trees. At this time, dryads only reside in the Coraie Great Tree. Other orders either died off or left. Since then, other guardians have taken their place, such as the Fae of Swáithan Mhuire or the people of Aelfscyn.
