Sanctity Roots

Sanctity Roots are the symbolic heart of the New Moon of Delvia temple in the Farscape episode "Rhapsody in Blue." The massive root system, which is tended to by Tuzak, begins in an orchard outside the temple. The roots are poisonous and can prove fatal if touched by non-Delvians.
Lorana explains their importance to John Crichton: "The Sanctity Root around which our temple revolves represents purity of thought and intent." Following the events of the episode, Crichton takes an axe to the roots, causing the temple to shudder.
