Tree is female. Lisaera said Kalo could call Her Mother Tree. As to Snake, I didn't know that.

AB TOTEMS SNAKE

Despite the prejudices against her children, the spirit of Sister Snake is a benevolent one. Calling upon her will increase your resistance against poisons.

Hrm, White Mangroves look cooler but Red ones actually grow in the
water so it has to be red.

:| is that the original text? I don't remember reading that.

That's been there since day 7 of open BETA, at least, because that's when I first read it.

Wow, I should really pay more attention to details.

what exactly is an Ackleberry anyway?

I am believing you mean that was what is Ackleberry? It is the third forest commune which seperated itself from the Basin during the Taint Wars to protect itself from being tainted.

Wait, wait, people seem to be assuming that Mother Lake is the Great Spirit linked to the totem of River...

Did I miss something?

They're the same thing.

Do we know that for certain? Suhnaye, leader of the Lakewoods rejoined, gave me the impression that they believed Lake and River were two different spirits.

I don't think Suhnaye has the right idea of it, as usual.

But I could be wrong, I'm just vaguely recollecting what Auseklis said a while back.

Willow Tree... *melt*

Father Sun....Ackleberry.... Tae'dae.....Furrikin........ Guard.......

Carebear countdown "5, 4, 3, 2, 1!"

I don't know Suhnaye, so I don't know much of what he's said.

But let me point out, he's only a mortal. Perhaps only the Divine, maybe even just Roak and Estarra, know the truth.

River/Lake are the same person, as far as most of us have been told/heard/go. I don't see a Lake in Totems, do you? But I do see a Night, a Sun, a Moon, a Stag (for Hart), a Crow, a River, and a Bear. Why would these all be there, but not something as crucial as Lake?

Most likely, Lake is simply an aspect of River, or visa-versa, although the former makes more sense.

You know, i really dont see why people are so hyper about a organization that wont be out until atleast this time next year -maybe- i mean out current player increase is quite small, we barely have enough balanced to sustain 4 organizations, well no, there's serenwilde that basically everyone goes to, then there's mag, celest and glom. I think people should stop getting all hyped about something that wont be around for a looong time.

Or MAYBE we are just kidding and having a laugh for a change, and certain people need to catch up?

Nope, I want to know if theres an actually Ackleberry berry. Like say something
you could make pie from. MmmmMmm, Ackleberry pie.

I recall a conversation with Isune and was told Lake and River were two different spirits

But the River totem helps in rivers and LAKES *shrugs* Brother Hart and Brother Stag are the same person - just two names for the same spirit. Or.... Hmm... Perhaps Sister Lake has changed in Her time away? We shall see
