WORLD TREE, THE Mentioned in the myths of both the Lands Within and the Lands Without, the World Tree most often represents the connectivity and pathway between different realms, whether between the dead and the living, or between the Lands Within and the Lands Without. Some extreme philosophies maintain these two myths are saying the same thing in two different ways, and that the Lands Within is the realm of the living, and the Lands Without is the realm of the dead (see Vestige Belief System).
