Hanging tree

The Hanging trees are artifacts from Ragnarus capable of capturing and imprisoning incarnations. Hanging Trees are initially seeds and once planted in soil from the unnamed world tendrils or roots of dark red wood shoot out and imprison the first living being they come into contact with, Like everything from Ragnarus the trees require a price, and the price for the trees are nine human lives per year, as long as this price is met the tree will hold the incarnation, however, if the price is not paid the tree will slowly weaken. Also if the tree is destroyed that the incarnation will be freed. Due to incarnations from every known Territory being sealed in the Hanging Tree prison for centuries by the start of the story the Damascan Royal Family was able to exploit the Territories without fear of constant incarnations, that normally appear when Travelers disregard the nature of the Territories.

Appearance and Function
A hanging tree, as stated above, serves as a prison for incarnations. The tree starts as a seed, compared described by Alin as having the appearance of a red walnut. After being soaked in blood it begins sprouting almost instantly sucking up any available blood. The tree itself is also blood red and once grown can move its's branches in many different directions to find food, attack food, and get blood from its food.
