Vale blossom

Vale blossoms are a small tree species which can be found growing in forests of both the Palachian Heartlands and Calavier wherein due to its relatively small stature it forms a part of the understory layer of forests. The trees exhibit hastate foliage and typically have slightly translucent, pale blue blossoms which take on a wing-like appearance. The name of this tree is derived from an ancient tale said to have its roots in the final days of the Age of Marvels when a Heaven Shard, a rare and miraculous item crafted in Heaven itself, took on a mortal form in order to protect the one it had been ordained to guard. It was not long however before the shard which now went by the name of Vale and resembled a petite young woman with wings of crystal and pale blue hair fell hopelessly in love with her ward and in an act of pure devoted love sacrificed herself to protect her treasured one from the forces unleashed during the "Piercing of Heaven's pearl".
The trees are treated as a symbol of pure love and one might find mamonme and humans resting beneath one's boughs in the hopes that its purity may rub off on them.
