Description Now that BAM 02 is now released at this [link] , here are the images that I've included in the book.

Vintanos' Great Tree. This image doesn't do the actual size of this tree justice. I don't know why but Trees are very high up on my imagery, and to one reader's surprise, they actually signify life and life-giving in my mind. And sometimes my trees get pretty big. We're talking Great Ar'tuin can use it for shade big.

The Great Tree is my second tallest tree. What I failed to show is the scope or any given references: The Burj Khalifa Tower in Durbai might be enough to challenge the trunk of this tree. That's right. Just the trunk! Which means that you might need more than _two_ Burj Khalifa towers stacked to get anywhere near the top of the tree, where someone got good and stoned and thought that a relief station for the floating airships was a good idea there.

Make me think of my world, where i use the FR Sylvanus as a god of nature, modified...

He is the Nature, and indeed... Mana tree, also. The great sanctuaries of him have shrines with ancient blessed trees; its notable the exaxct specie vary with cultures... Ginkos for Kithans, Baobabs in Kush/Nyambe, etc....

No biggie. I can always copypasta the idea into Hubworld. No Big Whoop.

(I think Japan in rl have such an idea too - shinto places with big trees with stuff on them, charms...)

And ANGRY druids. XD
