Sanctuary Tree

The Sanctuary Tree (also known as Vliste-Staba) was the protector of Grot during the Age of Division and one of seven such trees that guard the different Gelfling clans.
Perched on the hills that roll down from the Mountains of Grot is a wise old tree with pink petals and roots going down to the caverns underneath. When the wind is right, the petals from this tree can fly to almost anywhere in the Skarith Region. In the Song of the Dark Crystal novel's continuity, this is used by Naia and Kylan to spread the word of the Skeksis betrayal by "dream-etching" the story of essence draining and the corrupted crystal into the petals.
After being destroyed by the nurlocs corrupted by Darkening, the Sanctuary Tree transferred its powers to Deet.
