Editing Character:Nuwa (section)

===Manse 2===
Some time after her Exaltation while traveling toward Nexus Nuwa rested underneath a great and very old apple tree in the wilderness. She was fascinated with its vitality that allowed it to bear so many small but sweet apples despite its branches being gnarled with age and scarred by lightning. When she continued her journey she carried a small bag of the tree's apples with her, one of which was not a fruit in truth. By the time she noticed the semi-crystalline nature of it she was astonished, but finally decided that the tree must have been a manse of extremely subtle design. And being without owner it would not mind giving her the benefit of its hearthstone, she thought, at least for a while.<br>
The Stone of Life's Gift allows its bearer to gift the old tree's great vitality to other beings, adding four dice to medicine rolls or letting plants grow unusually quickly and healthy, depending on how it is employed. The second option Nuwa has often used to amuse herself or others by growing seeds into beautiful flowers in mere minutes, to which end she carries a collection of seeds with her. It is, she thinks, a harmless indulgence as far as those things go.<br>
The Old Tree has the following properties (as per Oadenol's Codex): Minimally Habitable, Geomantic Subtlety, Well-Flavored Aspect (Wood), Subtle Breath of Sextes Jylis and Provider. It is hard to recognize as a manse and while not providing the shelter an actual house would give, it is cool in summer, warm in winter and passably dry underneath when it's raining. Apart from its own fruit there are many kinds of berries and edible roots growing around it, providing even a large group of modest people with enough food to survive.
