Tree of Silver Wings (Io)



Following the second arrival of the Pyramids in the Sol system, a tree of silver wings was discovered by Eris Morn in the Cradle on Io.

The relationship of this tree to the original "tree of silver wings," which existed either within the Black Garden or the metaphorical "garden" that gave rise to the universe, is unclear.

History
During the arrival of the Pyramids, Osiris received a seed from the Pyramids. He later received a message from Mara Sov relayed to him through Brother Vance, which instructed him simply to "plant the seed". This suggests that the tree grew from the seed Osiris planted, or at least that Osiris placed the seed at its base.

After one of the Pyramids settled over the Cradle on Io, it began projecting a beam directly onto the tree, which slowly transformed it over a period of weeks into a darker version of itself with a crown of more angular, jagged "leaves".

During its transformation, a new branch grew at the base of the tree, which was taken by the Guardian and crafted into the Trace Rifle Ruinous Effigy.

Trivia

 * The Patterns that can be seen on the spiraling trunk of the tree are extremely similar to patterns found within the small Pyramid on Luna.
 * A Ghost projection in Eververse refers to the tree as the Sterling Arbor; however, it is unknown whether or not this is a canon name in the lore.
