The Encyclopedia of the Ten Cosmic Trees Before the first star was born, before time began to flow, and before the universe had a name, there existed ten ancient trees. They are known as the Ten Cosmic Trees—primordial structures whose roots, trunks, and branches extend beyond the boundaries of ordinary reality. Each tree sustains a fundamental aspect of existence, from space and time to life, death, possibility, dreams, and the laws that govern the cosmos. Ancient civilizations worshipped them as gods. Others believed them to be remnants of a forgotten creation. Some claimed that the universe itself is nothing more than a vast realm growing upon their branches. Yet the truth of the Ten Trees remains unknown. This encyclopedia gathers the surviving myths, ancient records, forgotten scriptures, and fragmented accounts concerning these mysterious cosmic entities. It explores their origins, nature, powers, domains, and the legends surrounding those who once witnessed them. For if even one of the Ten Trees were ever to fall, the consequences would not be limited to a single world. The universe itself might no longer have anything left to stand upon.
