Yggdrasil: Difference between revisions

Yggdrasil can be found in [[Gröndal]]. When the {{Party 7}} travels there in the past, the World Tree hasn't achieved maturity yet; it is a mere sapling known as Ygg. The residents of Gröndal, under the influence of [[Fighting batboon (Boss)|fighting batboon]] try to cut down the sapling before it becomes a World Tree. The party stops this from happening and Ygg is able to become a World Tree. The party can obtain a '''World Leaf''' by going to the World Tree. If the party does not have a World Leaf, a bird will drop one from the tree for the party to pick up and obtain. If they do, the bird will not drop one. They can also obtain a phial of []Yggdrasil dew]] at Gröndal. However, only the {{Hero 7}} can get on line to buy one and, if supplies run out before the {{Hero 7}} gets one, the {{Party 7}} will have to leave town and enter again to try and get another one. If they already have one, they will not be allowed to buy another.

In {{IX}}, the tree is part of the central plot and appears at the top of the [[Observatory]]. The Yggdrasil is considered the gateway to the realm of the Almighty, as when it blossoms the [[Starlight Express]] comes to ferry [[Celestrian]]s. However, as part of the events of the game, when the tree blossoms, it instead causes a disaster in the [[Observatory]]. It is later revealed that Yggdrasil is in fact the goddess [[Celestria]], the daughter of the Almighty, [[Zenus]]. She became Yggdrasil to stay her father smiting mortal kind, for only the [[Benevolessence]] produced by humans could undo her self-inflicted curse.
