Drasilmare

Appearance
At the heart of North of North, in Trail's End, sits a magical and ancient tree, known as the World Tree, or Drasilmare. This tree is made of magical energy, and its magic is what protects Trail's End. Its large twisting roots and far reaching branches reach high up into the sky, where its leaves stretch out for what feels like miles.

History
Drasilmare started out as a young sapling growing by the newly formed Teardrop Lake, and it drank from Sara's magical tears, and grew to immense proportions. Sara's parents brought with them (from outside this world) a cone from the Universe Tree which they planted next to their cottage on Sara’s first birthday. This tree grew into what is now Drasilmare.

The roots of Drasilmare spread out far and wide, and are used to share Sara's magic throughout North of North. This is what created Magical Friends, as Sara's magic was spread through the tree to various creatures, giving them various gifts and abilities, as well as the ability to bond more deeply with humans and horses.

Occupants of The World Tree
The mare Twig and the Dryad Deru lived inside of the World Tree, sleeping soundly, until the return of Sigga's heir, Emma, to North of North. They are the heart and soul of the tree, and they have spent many years soaking up its wisdom and magic. [2]
