Editing Yggdrasil (section)

==={{DQ11}}===
In {{XI}}, Yggdrasil is once more a part of the central plot, being located in the very middle of the world map. The source of all life, it is believed that each leaf in its boughs represents an individual residing in [[Erdrea]], falling once that life is extinguished. If evil were to seize the land in its grip, the arrival of a destined hero would be indicated by a leaf glowing especially bright upon blooming. Being chosen by Yggdrasil Herself, the {{Luminary}} as the champion is called bears a special mark that can be used to call upon divine powers. This mark also allows the {{Luminary}} to draw upon memories captured by the tree, giving them a special clairvoyance into past events. 

The history of the Yggdrasil Tree dates back to ancient times when [[Yggdragon]] dueled with [[Calasmos]], but was slain in combat and fell to the earth in [[Erdrea]]. His soul was able to be revived with the assistance of lost time spirits, taking the visage of Yggdrasil and causing life to flourish throughout Erdrea. He created the first Luminary, [[Erdwin]] to destroy Calasmos and bring peace to the world. Since he was unsuccessful, he later created the {{Hero 11}}, the current Luminary who succeeded in defeating The Dark One and thus was granted the title of ''[[Erdrick]]'' by Yggdragon.
