Sanguine Trees

Canon Role

In the canon, these are called Bloodroot trees. They are a type of tree that only grows underground in caverns that have been sanctified by the Drow. The underground caverns where they grow, now considered holy places, were once battlegrounds for the Drow, where much blood was shed to determine the fate of all Drow. The trees are guarded with extreme jealousy, and intruders who wish to take from the trees are killed. Traxex, owing to her Drow upbringing, was able to procure a branch of a bloodroot tree, by performing the necessary supplication before the Drow. She then fashioned this branch into a bow.
