okay. red and green (unnamed cerdae) were protectors of this massive underground tree that grew at the death site of a terra tortoise aaages ago. they were essentially progens and protectors of a small village that was around it, and were like. minor deities. over time the dragons began to abandon the tree to live upon the surface (as early post-pillar-break tensions between the eleven settled), but red and green couldnt go far from their tree, alone save for what terra tortoises still live in the area, and each other of course. (warning: not scientificaly accurate) over time as leylines changed the great tree began to fossilize, inducing a torpor in its cerdae. the tree petrified, its guardians fell into a deep sleep, their pearls lost over the years. when the leylines shift once more, it traces a path beneath the tree, and as it has done with the bones in the cairnstone rest the tree is given new life--and its cerdae awake. but they are much, much stranger now.
