But its roots are in a far-off land where no one has ventured until the Outland Count of Tharsis sponsors an Explorers Guild to reach Yggdrasil and discover its secrets. It looms on the horizon, visible from everywhere in the city. For centuries, the tree Yggdrasil has been a constant presence in the lives of the people of Tharsis.
