Calamity Tree

== Overview ==
Calamity Trees are large, rare, natural looking trees that can be found in the land of Soly. Due to their massive size, they are typically used as landmarks when discovered. They carry root systems that are said to carve downward to the very heart of the Plane itself, and run so deep that no exhibition has ever reached the bottom. The roots themselves are massive and hollow, allowing for travel and respite. These trees were named by The Lorekeeper, after a presumption that there was one tree in Soly for each Calamity Terror that has occurred in history. Whether or not this is accurate is contested, even by The Lorekeeper themself.
These rare trees are rumored to have come from another plane, much like the Otherhand races, as there was no proper documentation of these trees prior to the arrival of the Pulsekaw in the mid-Emrite Era. Calamity Trees are absolutely brimming with natural Pulse, carrying the most condensed Pulse of any single entity in the known world besides a highborn Pulsekaw. Due to their high concentration of gently flowing Pulse, they made for the ideal resting place for fallen Pulsekaw before they could collapse into dangerous and stagnant Pulse Points. Calamity Trees were coveted by the Pulsekaw for this very reason, often building shrines and villages around them to quickly ferry the dead into the roots and keep their lands free from the destructive Pulse Points.
These trees also have the capability of nullifying a Pulse Torch entirely, dispersing it to the core of Soly and letting it rest. This has the side effect of undoing all current influence that particular Pulse Torch has.
