Oak of Ages (Flourishing)

is a settlement building introduced in Total War: Warhammer with the Realm of The Wood Elves DLC. It can only be constructed after completing the Ritual of Rebirth in the region.
As the Oak flourishes, its boughs and leaves cover Athel Loren and bring protection to its occupants.
== Background ==
At the centre of Athel Loren's multifarious glades and boughs lies the Oak of Ages. The great tree occupies its space both physically and spiritually, in the very essence of the forest and its dwellers. For the Wood Elves, it is the birthplace of their realm and the place where Orion, King in the Woods and a figurehead of their culture, symbolically dies and is reborn each year. Although immortal, he is tied to the seasons and subject to their changes. At Midwinter, Orion willingly enters his own funeral pyre; the following Spring, a new candidate, prepared and fashioned in her consort's likeness by Queen Ariel, emerges from the Oak as the new living embodiment of the Master of the Hunt. As such, the Oak of Ages is the hub of the Wood Elves' power - as it grows, their kingdom and influence grows also.
