Adan´sonia


Changes according to Talia, Rookie and Artimidor comments are in yellow.

Name: Adan´sonia (in the Ráhaz-Desert), MithmuzBorwul (Theregrim) and Cárpherán (Styrásh translated as “life tree”)

Overview

The Adan´sonia is a very well known evergreen tree all over the deserts of Caelreth, and particularly those of Denilou, by the Toll Brok´Barrol dwarves, and the Ráhaz-Desert by the Shendar nomads.
It is also an unusual tree due to it’s strange big trunk, and its spiky leaves. It is normally founded miles away from any other Adan´sonia tree.
 The MithmuzBorwul (roughly translated as “gold bread” in Theregrim) orginates from the south-western desert of Denilou, the Hol´Dispor (Desert of the Lost). It was the first plant Brok Strongarm saw when he and his dwarf colonizers arrived to Denilou. Adan´sonia seeds were taken by birds who came from the Raház-Desert, as they ate the Denilou Adan´sonia tree fruits and seeds, those were birds (like the Banded Ricau, The Sarvonian Gull, and even the magnificent Haloen)which landed on Denilou, and took the seeds with them to the Ráhaz-Dáth which developed very good in the Seven Jewels and further to the north almost reaching the Narfost Plains.

Appearance

One of Adan´sonia characteristics is that it is not a large tree but isn’t small either. Its big branches and spiky leaves are estimated to reach about fourteen peds to the highest branch. The Adan´sonia is an impressive sight in the desert because normally adan´sonia trees stand alone in the rough soil of the desert borders far away from any other plant. But above all this the trees are known (this is how you can see the difference between Parpalms and them) by their most amazing feature: its large trunk.
The dwarves of Toll Brok´Barrol said that the biggest Denilou Adan´sonia trunk they found was fifteen peds diameter!
Like any desert tree, adan´sonia trees have spiky leaves so they can maintain their water and not loose it. Those of the Adan´sonia are small, grey-green, and have small spikes on both sides of the leave. These leaves are sustained by very few, but huge, branches. The leaves only grow on the topmost branches.
 The bark of this tree is thought of being brown and dark-brown, but there are also yellow bark adan´sonia trees (it may depend of which type of Adan´sonia it is). Its bark is very soft to the touch but it is very tough indeed, and no knife could take off a bit of this tree bark. The bark changes colour over the years, and in winter, to darker-browns, and as the tree starts to die its bark turn to a magnificent white colour, which is as dwarves say a „MithmuzBorwul corpse“

Reprodution

It is also in winter, that Adan´sonia hermaphrodite flowers (it was impossible to the pollen to go across stralls of desert land) appear  in the tallest branches of the tree, because it is in winter that temperatures in the desert aren´t so high as normal. The flowers are of red and white colour and they are quite the size of rose flowers. As the time becomes hotter huge, watermelon like fruits start to grow. They have normally a red colour and are very tasty, even considered an delicacy among the dwarves of Toll Brok´Barrol, but those that the dwarves taste are not red fruits but gold ones, because Denilou Adan´sonia fruits are golden and seem like gold chunks, from which was born the name of the tree in Thergrim language, MithmuzBorwul.

There are two known variants of Adan´sonia:

• Denilou Adan´sonia- The Denilou Adan´sonia is well known by the dwarves of Toll Brok´Barrol and they make bread from its fruits. This Adan´sonia is bigger than the Santharian one, and there is no known animal living in Denilou that eats its fruits, although there are Haloen birds that rest in their crops before heading to the Ráhaz-Dáth. This kind of Adan´sonia has a darker bark and has big fruits which have a golden colour.
  
  
  • Ráhaz-Dáth Adan´sonia- This kind of Adan´sonia is the most known all over Santharia. It is shorter than the Denilou Adan´sonia, and both Shendar Aj´Nuvic and Haloen feed on its fruits and nest there (referring to Haloen). It has a lighter bark, of a yellowish-brown colour. Its fruits are red in colour.
  
  
  
  Territory
  
  The Adan´sonia is original from the Denilou desert of Hol´Dispor, but migrating birds took those golden chunks seeds to their homeland and some seeds actually have developed in the Ráhaz-Dáth, before Brok Strongarm discovery. The Shendar were amazed by the wondrous tree that had those tasty fruits and was a good resting point for Aj´Nuvic. While feeding the Aj´Nuvic with Adan´sonia fruits they helped it spreading further to the north of the Ráhaz-Dáth desert, where it developed very well, but the tree didn´t have those golden fruits, they were red instead. Over the years people of the Ráhaz-Dáth forgot its origins, and now no informed person would think that the mighty Adan´sonia came from the Iron Realm, Denilou.
  
  Usages
  
  Adan´sonia fruit is very famous. Dwarves call it MithmuzBorwul, the golden bread, and they actually make a bread with the fruit. They smash the fruit until it forms a powder, like flour. But a golden (or red, if they are from the Ráhaz-Dáth, but Shendar rarely make this kind of bread) powder. Then they add pure water from the snow of the highest peaks, and it makes a very consistent dough. They mold the dough into small round shapes and then the dwarves, with their big hands covered with golden powder, put it into a great dwarf oven. Those ovens are only known by the Denilou dwarves. They are big ovens, round with many little stone gates to put adan´sonia bread in.
  Then after four hours in the oven the adan´sonia bread is ready to eat. The bread tastes like chicken and has a little taste like apple, it is very revitalizing, and it is very common of dwarves to have their bags filled with these breads, and they eat them in long walks in the mountains. Other races of Caelreth know this bread too, and many buy them from the elves of Denilou or from the dwarves of Toll Brok´Baroll.
  
  Myth/Lore
  
  Dwarves all over Caelreth say „As healthy as MithmuzBorwul“ which means, of course, that that person is very rich, coming from the adan´sonia has its fruit with the colour of gold.
  
  There is a Shendar proverb that says "If you see an Haloen it is a sign of luck, if you see an Haloen in an Adan´sonia, it means you have found a place to eat and rest", which of course, means that Adan´sonia are resting points in Shendar dislocations across the desert.
  
  "Everyone was as motionless as an adan’sonia tree, not able to move" - The Tale of Mi´Khran and Dilluar, A Santharian Romance, by Ishamelion
  
  About the Adan´sonia itself, we only know the history of Brok Strongarm and his fellows while they were lost in the Hol´Dispor desert, searching for mountains where they could settle. According to the history, Brok and his companions were lost in the Hol´Dispor and they only survived because of adan´sonia fruits, which they thought it was a sign from Urtengor, due to the fruits golden colour.
  They took some of those fruits when they headed to the mountains and there they discovered that they could make small loaves of bread with it, and that the bread was more tasty than the fruits.
  Dwarves in Toll Brok´Barrol sing a poem about the Adan´sonia, normally in times of wealth and happiness, they all go to the main hall and in the dwarf’s strong voice we can hear this ballad.
  
  The Mithmuz is a great tree
  Lying alone in the desert
  There, ahead can you see?
  Said our father, Brok Strongarm
  When to this mountains he was coming
  He took the magnificent fruits
  And those are now remembered in our lutes
  
  The Mithmuz is a great tree
  Lying alone in the desert
  There ahead can you see?
  Urtengor, our mighty lord
  Lead us to this prosperous land
  Where gold is born from trees, lying in the sand
  
  Hi-oh, oh
  Where gold is born from trees, lying in the sand!
  The MIthmuz is a great tree
  Lying alone in the desert
  There ahead can you see…
  
  Fauna related to the Adan´sonia
  
  There are two animals who eat Adan´sonia fruits, and those are:
  
  • Aj´Nuvic- This Shendar animal is known to rest and sleep under the shadow of the Adan´sonia tree, when it´s very hot in the desert. It is this animal that gives name to Adan´sonia tree. Aj´Nuvic love Adan´sonia fruits, and they can reach the taller branches with their neck.
  • Haloen (Firebird)- This beautiful bird is known in Denilou to stop and sleep in Adan´sonia branches but it is in Ráhaz-Dáth, that they do their nests among the spiky crops of the tree, and they eat its fruits as well, and even the seeds, being the Haloen one of the principal factors that made Adan´sonia tree spread from Denilou to the Ráhaz-Dáth.

[/list]

[Ta'lia of the Seven Jewels]

Alarun, nice that you are doing a tree I always wanted to have for the -Raház-Dáth. I have no time to overlook it, just two things I would like you to change:

- The name for the tree in the Ráhaz-Dáth. I don't think it is a good idea to take the name the tree is known on earth. I give often massive hints as well when I take the Latin name and play with it a little, but only those people who are versified in biology might notice.

The name I have for this tree already in my notes is:

adan'sonia,

could be anything like An'sonia or So'adan as well. Just use a ' somewhere. (Shendar like this)

Not very inventive, I know, for I took it from Adansonia digitata. The tree could have an additional name as well as the German "Affenbrotbaum". Just let us look for an animal which lives here (or will live here)- I may have a look later.

- You can't just say pirates and traders have planted them, a) the Shendar are very protective what their territory concerns and b) why should pirates want to plant them, or traders? Such a tree needs time to grow... The plain of Uderza is used for growing crops . The floodplains are too much in the desert (no trader gets there). I think it would be a cool tree for the northeastern part of the desert though.

An idea how it spread would just be that the fruits were imported and the seeds discarded, birds spread them. Whereever the circumstances were right, the trees sparang up.

When do you plan to introduce them for the Rahaz -Dath? Hopefully quite early, for I wanted to make them to a little ecosystem.

[Artimidor Federkiel]

Ok, some comments from here as well, Alarun:

- As Talia pointed out a somewhat Santharian name would be ideal. Especially as we're often describing a Santharian (or "Santhariarized") version of Earthen equivalents. So reflecting that in the name would help.

- The Overview should give a rough idea about the tree, including its appearance. If I read the overview I should at least have an idea what it looks like, so you could add in for example that it is a tree with big branches and spiky leaves and that it stands often alone etc. This would suffice to get a rough picture.

- I like that idea that Brok thought of it as a gift from the Gods due to the gold chunk appearance of the fruit - very nice

- The "Theregrim" are actually called the "Thergerim". Further down you also write "Caeldreth", though it is "Caelereth", and instead of "Snatharian" I suggest "Santharian" - Well, you'll learn how to spell all this correctly in the course of time, I'm sure

- "seeming arms appointing to the sky" I guess isn't properly English, eh? (maybe you mean just "pointing") Also haven't heard words yet like "eclode" and "iguary"... - but then again I'm not a native English speaker...

- On the Ráhaz-Dáth - the trees could have grown there as well before Brok discovered Denilou (at least he was a dwarf and didn't know these trees), so maybe someone later wanted to transfer them back to Santharia, but they turned out red instead of gold in this environment.

- The "Regional Variants" part we usually integrate in the Appearance section and use bullets to list the types. So I suggest to move that up there as well.

- As already mentioned I like this lore about Brokand that the tree saved them - very well thought up and fitting for the tree and in order to fill a gap in the historical context to explain how Brok made it throught tze desert!

- Here and there you swallowed some words or letters while writing and the meaning is a bit strange therefore, like here: "Other folks may also say, most commonly Raház-Dáth nomads, „Having Baobab strenght“, means that its is a very strong men or women"...  - So try to have a look at the entry again to fix a bunch of such things

To sum it up: Pretty good for a first entry, Alarun! Connection new additions to other stuff is what primarily counts and you have done that as it should be here. And with Talia's ideas to use it for the Santharian south you can tie it even further in. Good job so far! 

[Alarun]

Thank you all!:grin: Im making changes (which are in yellow), and i just only want to say that you had the Aj´Gol featured in Santharia before i wrote this.
How can that be possible? you ask.

Take a look to the Shendar people entry, and in Quellion drawing (i think it is from him), what is that tree in the back behind the Aj´Nuvic and the Shendar women? Don´t know of any Ráhaz-Dáth tree... Well from now on, you can say it is an Aj´Gol.

[Ta'lia of the Seven Jewels]

Nice name! There might be a tiny problem though: Gol means rest then? The meaning of Aj is "before", so if you combine these it doesn't make much sense...

There is no need though to invent new words. The Shendar speak a variation of the normal Tharian, they are related to the Avennorians and though the Avennorians may have changed their language partly with the Glandorian arrival, it will not be totally different. A name could be just a name and does not necessarily need an extra meaning, it would be enough if it sounds nice, a hint to the Latin language as I proposed above as second name would be cool though, for it would make the naming in this area a bit consistent. As a first name you can just call it Aj'nuvic's rest.

The picture is from Faugar and is not what I imagined under a baobab, it is more an acacia (Darii'Tree). Baobas are those with the fat trunk, am I not right? This one doesn't have a thick trunk..

[Alarun]

OK I will try to fix the name maybe something like Mag´nu´phyta, is it cool? Or you prefer Grand´vidyeir?

Well do you agree with the other changings I did, according to Artimidor? I will take a look at it later, have to go to a party... 

[Ta'lia of the Seven Jewels]

Atahir, i think the name issue is already solved. The tree is already mentioned on the site as adan'sonia, see here. I knew somehow, that we had used the name already, but could not remember where. The searchfunction helped

You can still invent a descriptive name like aj'nuvic's rest, just not another random syllable name. Sorry!

[Alarun]

But there is not an entry of it but it is refered? So you had it on the site but no entry?
That´s cool, im filling in a gap . So, Adan´sonia it will be...

[Artimidor Federkiel]

Hey Artahir - as far as I know king Artahir is dead quite a while by now, and he wasn't resurrected yet to do a Compendium entry. So I would recommend a name and picture change here Your character should ideally be a person of present Santharian who might at some point even get its own entry, so Artahir probably isn't the best choice in thism respect...

[Alarun]

need comments on Adan´donia...

[Rookie Brownbark]

If you're finished, try popping up the ! icon instead of the pencil.  This lets us know you're done and waiting for comments.

Unfortunately I don't really know much about either of these locations or the people and animals who live there, so please forgive me for mainly sticking to a spelling and grammar check...all of these are merely suggestions, so feel free to use them as you wish 

Adan´sonia

Hi there this is my first post and I thought about creating some sort of lembas tree and I ended up writting about the Santharian version of an African tree: the baobab. Please, read it and comment!

Changes according to Talia and Artimidor comments are in yellow.

Name: Adan´sonia (in the Ráhaz-Desert), MithmuzBorwul (Theregrim) and Cárpherán (Styrásh translated as “life tree”)

Overview

The Adan´sonia is a very well known evergreen tree all over the deserts of Caelreth, and particularly those of Denilou, by the Toll Brok´Barrol dwarves, and the Ráhaz-Desert by the Shendar nomads.
It is also a strange tree due to it’s strange <--- I wouldn't use "strange" twice - odd/unusual instead maybe? big trunk, and its spiky leaves. It is normally founded miles away from any other Adan´sonia tree.  Well then how does it mate with other trees?  You seem to be missing a Reproduction section..

 The MithmuzBorwul (roughly translated as “gold bread” in Theregrim) originates from the south-western desert of Denilou, the Hol´Dispor (Desert of the Lost). It was the first plant Brok Strongarm saw when he and his dwarf colonizers arrived to Denilou.spaceAdan´sonia seeds were taken by birds who came from the Raház-Desert (like the Banded Ricau, The Sarvonian Gull, and even the magnificent Haloen) which landed on Denilou, and took the seeds with them which developed very well in the Seven Jewels of Raház-Dáth desert, and further to the north almost reaching the Narfost Plains. How did the birds take the seeds with them?

Appearance

One of Adan´sonia characteristics is that it is not a large tree but isn’t small either. Its big branches and spiky leaves are estimated to reach about fourteen peds to the highest branch. The Adan´sonia is an impressive sight in the desert because normally adan´sonia trees stand alone in the rough soil of the desert borders far away from any other plant. But above all this the trees are known (this is how you can see the difference between Parpalms and them) for their most amazing feature: its large trunk.

The dwarves of Toll Brok´Barrol said that the biggest Denilou Adan´sonia trunk they found was forty-five peds diameter! It was forty-five peds in diameter when they're usually only 14 tall? 

Like any desert tree, adan´sonia trees have spiky leaves so they can maintain their water and not loose it. Those of the Adan´sonia are small, grey-green, and have small spikes on both sides of the leave. These leaves are sustained by very few, but huge, branches, standing high in the tree. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "standing high in the tree".  Do you mean the leaves only grow on the topmost branches? Or the branches themselves grow up very high?

 The bark of this tree is thought of as being brown and dark-brown, but there are also yellow bark adan´sonia trees (it may depend of which type of Adan´sonia it is). Its bark is very soft to the touch but it is very hard (maybe "tough" would be better here - although I know what you mean, saying it is both soft and hard seems like a contradiction) indeed, and no knife could take off a bit of this tree bark. The bark changes colour over the years, and in winter, to darker-browns, and as the tree starts to die its bark turn to a magnificent white colour, which is as dwarves say a „MithmuzBorwul corpse“

It is also in winter, that Adan´sonia hermaphrodite flowers (it was impossible to the pollen to go across miles of desert land  If it's impossible for the pollen to travel miles, then why do they grow so far apart?  Also miles should probably be "strals", a santharian measurement.) appear high up in the tree, because it is in winter that temperatures in the desert aren´t so high as normal. The flowers are of red and white colour and they are quite the size of rose flowers. As the time becomes hotter huge, watermelon like fruits start to grow. They have normally a red colour and are very tasty, even considered an delicacy among the dwarves of Toll Brok´Barrol, but those that the dwarves taste are not red fruits but gold ones, because Denilou Adan´sonia fruits are golden and seem like gold chunks, from which was born the name of the tree in Thergrim language, MithmuzBorwul.

    * Denilou Adan´sonia- The Denilou Adan´sonia is well known by the dwarves of Toll Brok´Barrol and they make bread from its fruits. This Adan´sonia is bigger than the Santharian one, and there is no known animal living in Denilou that eats its fruits, although there are Haloen birds that rest in their crops before heading to the Ráhaz-Dáth. This kind of Adan´sonia has a darker[space]bark and has big fruits which are a golden colour.
    * Ráhaz-Dáth Adan´sonia- This kind of Adan´sonia is the most known all over Santharia. It is shorter than the Denilou Adan´sonia, and both Shendar Aj´Nuvic and Haloen feed on its fruits and nest there (referring to Haloen). It has a lighter bark, of a yellowish-brown colour. Its fruits are red in colour.

There is a Shendar proverb that says "If you see an Haloen it is a sign of luck, if you see an Haloen in an Adan´sonia, it means you have found a place to eat and rest", which of course, means that Adan´sonia are resting points in Shendar dislocations across the desert.

"Everyone was as motionless as an adan’sonia tree, not able to move" - The Tale of Mi´Khran and Dilluar, A Santharian Romance, by Ishamelion

Some really nice touches here Alarun, I particularly like the details you add to the different variations of the tree .  The image of the red/gold fruits set against the sandy, seemingly endless desert is lovely.

Welcome to Santharia!

[Alarun]

arr...about the flowers they are hermaphrodit, and i don´t know why do they grow so far from an other plants, but they do the same in Rl i think. Anyway im doing the changes...

hermaphrodit= "male" and "female" at the same time, as it happens with some animals and with some flowers

[Rookie Brownbark]

Oh right!  Yeah, you're right, I didn't have a clue what that word meant  .

[Alarun]

well just did all of the changes, i think... Anything more?

I was wandering about a drawing for the adan´sonia. It is a very beautiful tree i think, and as Rookie said

Some really nice touches here Alarun, I particularly like the details you add to the different variations of the tree .  The image of the red/gold fruits set against the sandy, seemingly endless desert is lovely.

I don´t know who could do the drawing but it would be very simple; just a small portrait with a desert background, a single Adan´sonia with those red/golden flowers, and (if this would be possible) a Shendar or a Toll Brok´Barrol looking up to the tree.

Thank you all for the comments!

Deklitch Hardin 18 May 2012, 09:35:51 I am pleased it is going well for you though Seeker ... can't wait to try it and die. Deklitch Hardin 18 May 2012, 09:35:13 No, I didn't Seeker. I think it is Master Anfang who is doing the testing Seeker 18 May 2012, 08:30:42 Dek-   shoals is going very well.  Art is starting on chapter 6. A very important chapter.  Did you test chapter 5? Valan Nonesuch 15 May 2012, 05:41:48 *Valan filches some parchments from around the corners of the pile before sauntering off attempting to look casual and tripping over the hem of his robes.* Bard Judith 14 May 2012, 07:33:29 Waiiiiiit!   (Bard staggers back with a pile of Unfinished Projects so high her arms are trembling)  Let me stuff mine in there before you lock the room!  *looks guiltily around and snatches the Quenyss parchment off the top of the stack* Deklitch Hardin 13 May 2012, 08:12:31 and throw the key into the deepest river we can find, or the midst of one of the volcanoes Altario Shialt-eck-Gorrin 13 May 2012, 03:19:29 Then I say we lock the Unfinished Projects room.  If Arti ever gets in there.... big trouble. Deklitch Hardin 13 May 2012, 02:54:30 I'm amazed you can see the Altario projects pile considering it is dwarfed by my unfinished projects. For which I apologise.
