Castrovel Inspirational Memory - 2 years ago
Artist: Farid Sandoval (artstation)

~Eazuvau~ - Soul-Tree: a Castrovellian Milk-Tree that is so old, and has absorbed so many memories that it has evolved its own consciousness. The Lashunta believe Milk-Trees are the eldest children of Mahaere - Green-Mother - and it is from them that the first Lashunta were born.
