Soldaer smiles and leads her to the top floor. "Still quite a bit of work that needs to be done, but would you believe that I grew this place?" He asks with a smile.
"That can't be right. You don't look that old!"
Soldaer laughs. "If this had grown naturally, you'd be correct. What if I told you that this is only about five days old?" He asks, gesturing to the entire thing, including the lake, willow trees, and the tree house itself.
"I wouldn't believe you."
Soldaer grins. "It's the truth."
Aja touches the bark. "Is the tree tired from all its growing?"
Soldaer shakes his head. "Use magic and a touch of my own energy to speed it's growth, and channel it into a song to shape it the way I desire it to grow."
"That's incredible. So if you're not a god, are you a dryad?"
Soldaer smiles. "Elf, but a pretty powerful druid." He says. "And I'm only a little over 200."
"That's incredible. So if you're not a god, are you a dryad?"
Soldaer smiles. "Elf, but a pretty powerful druid." He says. "And I'm only a little over 200."
"Well then. You really are blessed by the wild mother."
Soldaer smiles. "Indeed, although this is a skill that many of my people learn. It is how almost all of our structures are created, with the exception of the royal palace and blacksmiths."

"That's just plan cool. How long have you worshipped her?"
[[ question: is the canopy the ceiling or it it like a hollowed out tree so the ceiling is still tree ]]
*Neither. Here's the descrption, and all rooms are enclosed by wood, aside from openings to the balconies:*
A small lake, about 70 feet across, dominates the scene. The shores have cattails and reeds, and even a few small weeping willows. Further in, and within the safety field, are several plots of flowers and vegetable- and fruit-bearing plants. About 30 feet from the shore is a massive hybrid tree, looking like a beautiful cross between willow and birch. 6 large rooms are visible, having been grown right out of the tree, one about 50 feet up with a large wraparound balcony, two more, connected by a bridge made from thinner branches and vines, about 75 feet up, and the final three up at around 100 feet up. Every room is connected to the trunk, with a spiral staircase running up through the trunk. The top floor is the terminating point of the trunk, ending in a 40 ft triangular platform with slightly curved sides, and a roof over it, but open-air otherwise. A room sits at each corner of the triangle, all of them so cunningly hidden by the branches and leaves that they are nearly invisible.

"That's just plan cool. How long have you worshipped her?"
"Mielikki? I was trained as a ranger starting at the age of 20, so about 180 years. Eilistraee is the primary deity of my people though, and so I have been a follower of her ever since I was old enough to begin to grasp the concepts being taught me."

"Eep. I've only been following Mielikki for around five years, nothing like 180."

*No. The rooms are fully enclosed, aside from the entrances to the balconies, and a few windows. The ceilings are wood, and, from the outside, each room is roughly spherical or ovoid.*
