(PLEASE READ) Tree Illumination

TREE ILLUMINATION

When a pair of natives has the intent to bear children, they must choose a tree within the Orchard to sleep beneath. This act prompts the chosen tree to reward them with offspring, or reject them. Each tree has different odds for rejecting, rewarding a couple with an offspring, or even with producing multiple offspring. An in character thread must clearly detail which tree in the Orchard the couple has chosen to sleep beneath. The final poster may then tag staff members. The Orchard NPC will respond to your thread with the results of your breeding. If offspring are produced, they will be kept in the Adoption Center until they are claimed. The trees in the Orchard that characters currently have access to are as follows.

annab tree

This tree reaches over thirty feet (ten meters) in height. It's branches are studded with thorns, and glossy leaves that vary in shades of violet and blue. The fruit blossoms from yellow flowers sized similarly to umbrellas, and collects in tiers inside the buds. The Annab Tree bears oval shaped fruit small enough to hold in a fist. Unripened, the fruit is smooth and green in color, but progressively darkens into black as it ripens. Ruined fruit wrinkles and eventually drops from the tree.

tart cerasus tree

The Tart Cerasus Tree is slightly smaller than the Annab; it is excessively twiggy, its branches being lined in small, bony tangents, and its bark is nearly black. It is a leafless tree, consisting only of pastel, ten-petaled blossoms. The tree grows walnut sized, circular fruit that is generally a deep pink or red, and hangs from stems the height of most ladders. The fruit of the Cerasus has a tendency to spoil quickly; at the right time, the fruit is mildly tart, but quickly grows unbearably acidic.

kata-hal tree

Coated with a thick layer of ivy, this tree has minimal branches that is compensated for with heavy plumes of leaves, and its massive fruit that stem from the trunk of the tree. The Kata-Hal can only bear a maximum of six fruits at a time, each which are as large as a wild dog, and nearly twice the weight. They tend to be prickly, making their edible content hard to reach, but, on occasion, the skin is smooth and peels away easily to reveal the fleshy, semi sweet insides.
