The tree once existed alongside the [[Light|Gardener]] and [[Darkness|Winnower]].  It leaves are described as "ruin", its peeling bark "disaster", and the oppressive air around it inspires violence in those who would breathe even a little in. Nothing grows within the Tree's shadow, and it scintillates faintly at dusk. The Tree achieves its entelechy, its potential, with every body falling, every civilisation laid to waste, every leaf forged into instruments of ruin.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/12/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Mk. 44 Stand Asides]]''</ref> Its [[Seed of Silver Wings|seeds]] are malleable and hungering, and so they are not spoken of, nor on what they would become. According to Eris, the Tree and its seeds are fluid in nature, but not physically; they act as an engine of integration, incorporating that which it contacts into its structure. It feeds from paracausal energy, both the Light and the Dark vying for dominance within its every particle.
