The Two Trees are semi-mythical divine creations, anchored to the Life realm, said to have been responsible for illuminating the world before the Sun and the Moon were persuaded to take up their roles patrolling the heavens. The Tree of the North or Golden Tree was rooted deep in the northern mountains and it symbolised the "mind" while the Tree of the South or Silver Tree was rooted on an island, the first island of brought into existence when the world was young, and it symbolises the "soul".
The Silver Tree's light bestows great benefit to those with the Healing skill, while the Golden Tree aids Life-realm sympaticos in their Spiritualism. The extent of the benefit varies according to the waxing and waning of the Trees. Legends advise those privileged to witness the light of the trees to GAZE UPWARD to baske in their luminescence, though the benefits of the mingled gold and silver tree-light were said to be myriad. The effect of the silver light when gazed upon is different to that of the gold. Who knows what is fact and what is fiction, since so few have ever witnessed them firsthand.
