Sun Tree


 * For the Chapter 3 episode, see The Sun Tree (episode).

The Sun Tree is a sacred tree that was divinely created by Pelor at the intersection of powerful ley lines in Whitestone. Although it was almost killed by the unholy desecration of the Briarwoods, it had recovered by the time Vox Machina returned to Whitestone in. Keyleth has used her druidic spells to communicate with the Sun Tree. As an NPC, the Sun Tree is played by Matthew Mercer, often to comedic effect.

When Vox Machina first saw the Sun Tree, it was in poor health, the branches drooping and no leaves left on it. Eight bodies were hanging from its branches, and the group realized that each body was dressed and colored to look like one of them, as a message from the Briarwoods.

When Keyleth attempted to communicate with the tree using Speak with Plants, she got no response as the Sun Tree was effectively dead at that point. The druid then began casting Plant Growth over the next eight hours in an attempt to revive the Sun Tree.

As Vox Machina was preparing to leave Whitestone to hunt down Raishan, they noticed that leaves had begun to sprout on the Sun Tree's branches for the first time since the defeat of the Briarwoods.
