Yggdrasil, the World Tree

Concept Art commissioned by @Legionhearts

In the beginning, there was nothing but a boundless sea drifting in an ocean of stars. That all changed, when a divine lance pierced the skies shattered the old world into a thousand pieces.
In time, these fragments would form the great world tree, which began to sprout life on its many colony worlds – each of them taking mankind in a different direction.
