Despite it being made of metal, it has an oddly organic feel. Each of the petals in the conelike structure is formed from delicate gold leaf. Individually, they would easily flake easily from the cone. However, packed tightly as they, it forms a stable structure.-----------------------As Svexyn places his tools upon the tree, it reacts as before. New leaves sprout along a previously lifeless branch. The bud this time glows an angry orange. A firey red blossom bursts forth heralded by the strong scent of brimstone. It would have taken an master craftsman a lifetime to coax the delicate details of the flower out of the jasper from which it is formed. Again, the sigil flashes upon Svexyns hand, followed by a sense of welcome belonging. As Svexyn  looks over the tree, one item sticks out in his mind. A particularly vicious looking idol crafted from, what he suspects, is bone. It appears to be a symbol of authority, or perhaps that of a shaman or other leader. Svexyn lifts the item off the branch, but it seems to do little to change the state of the tree. The corruption remains on portions of the tree, clustered around the dark, oily flowers.---------------------------</blockquote>
