Roak Tree

Created by whisper in the wind

# The Roak Tree The Roak Tree was born from the tears of the Shadowsmith, an ancient craftsperson who wept upon discovering that their greatest creation had been destroyed in the Cataclysm of Forgotten Names. Where each tear fell upon the cursed soil of Eerie, a new Roak sprouted, spreading across the land like a living memorial to loss and resilience. Over countless generations, the people of Eerie learned that these peculiar trees possessed an almost sentient generosity—their wood never splinters when carved with honest intention, their bark yields medicines for ailments thought incurable, and their roots purify poisoned water simply by proximity. The trees became so interwoven with the survival and culture of Eerie that some whisper the land itself would crumble without them, as if the Roak Trees are the only thing keeping the realm from slipping back into the shadow from which it emerged. Children are taught that each Roak Tree remembers a different moment of the Shadowsmith's grief, which is why no two trees are ever identical in appearance or temperament. To this day, the most skilled artisans of Eerie still craft their finest works from Roak wood, believing they are continuing the Shadowsmith's unfinished legacy—transforming sorrow into something beautiful and eternal.
