In the words of the Teacher of the Drelves on the occasion of the harvesting of the enhancing root tubers in Green Vale in the World of the Three Suns…
“The plants on the hill in the center are the Thirttene Friends. All plants are our friends, but like the enhancing plant, the circle of exceptional trees of various shapes and sizes that occupy the top of the knoll are special. The Thirttene are Magick. Even when we are without a Spellweaver, we are not without the Thirttene. Their gifts have saved us many times. But we must reserve their fruits for times of need. The Thirttene Friends and the geyser that gives them life predate our spoken and recorded histories. Legend holds the Thirttene are older than the Lone Oak. The waters of the geyser are Magick. You should respect, but not fear Magick.”
