That cataclysm resulted in the trees being destroyed, and they eventually became petrified. This led to many of the fae to extract the energy of the trees themselves, resulting in a cataclysm. As a result of the war, the factions of fae kept finding newer and better ways of extracting energy and creating weapons. At some point a third faction, the newest colony of the trees, entered the war in an attempt to force peace. Unable to heed the demands of this colony, war broke out between the two factions. This inevitably created an offshoot colony of fae who laid demands for resources from their original progenitors. Eventually, the trees decided to create more diverse forms of life, suited to survive in different parts of the planet. Using the fae, the trees were able to spread across the land. Over the years, the trees fostered different forms of life including a race called the fae. These trees supposedly held advanced forms of sentience, allowing the trees to consciously communicate and influence their surroundings.
