Glossary Entry: World Tree
Definition
Found in many different religions, the World Tree is a giant tree that supports and connects the various worlds or realms. Perhaps the most well-known example is Yggdrasil, the World Tree from Norse mythology. Yggdrasil is so vast and tall that it winds through of the Nine Realms.
Unfortunately, while these magical trees are typically part of the setting in a story and otherwise harmless, there are rumors that some occult practices have adopted the symbol.
