Great Tree (Kashyyyk)
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
- "The Great Tree provided us with great shelter and lifted our hopes and spirits during our darkest hour."
- ―Chief Kerritamba[src]
The Great Tree, also known as the Spirit of Nyenthi'Oris, was located in the Mysess Glade and was sacred to the Wookiees on Kashyyyk. It was tended to by the people of Kerritamba Village.
The tree stood on a small but steep hill on a small isle in the Chenataa river. On a second hill next to the tree there was the Nyenthi'Oris Graveyard, a sacred Wookiee burial ground.
[edit] History
A long time ago, the Wookiees living in the Kkowir Forest region were attacked by large numbers of wild Varactyls. The Wookiees retreated to the vantage point of the Great Tree, from where they were able to fend of the advances of the creatures. In the end, the Wookiees were able to drive the Varactyls out of the Kkowir Forest.
Sometime during the Galactic Civil War, the tree fell ill. With the help of a brave individual, Chief Kerritamba was able to determine that the tree was poisoned by small streams of water from the Myyydril Caverns. Heightened activity in the caverns had caused chemical reactions to set forth a spiral of rot and decay that spread out into the surrounding forests. Kerritamba asked the individual for help in obtaining the ingredients for a cure: an osera seed, a Ranrt crystal, a Mysess Blossom and Webweaver silk. The individual managed to collect the ingredients and Kerritamba prepared an elixir that cured the tree.
