Calm Ironoak
The Calm Ironoak offers you a branch, one of its own children, in exchange for a service. Often this service is the death of some invader or ecocide of an invasive species in the forests the Calm Ironoak resides.
As long as you succeed in this service within 7 days, you will become Life Bound with your Ironoak Axe.

Calm Ironoak Sowing Strikes
Successfully hitting a Target with the Calm Ironoak Hatchet sows Calm Ironoak Acorns into their flesh.
The Calm Ironoak begins its life as spreading brambles with inch long briars. This carnivorous growth happens within seconds of the Acorn coming into contact with blood.
Action Rider: Sowing Strikes may be applied any time the Calm Ironoak Hatchet applies a Sharp Force Injury Card or Split Force Injury Card.
Celerity: 0 Action Slots
Vitality Cost: 3
Apply 1 Ironoak Bramble Counter.
Ironoak Brambles immediately grow out of the wound causing (v:10) Split Force Damage.
Each time you enter Dormancy, all your Ironoak Bramble Counters deal (1) Split Force Damage. This damage stacks on subjects with multiple counters.
Removal: Successfully pulling out all the Ironoak Bramble Counters takes 1 Action Slot and causes (1) Split Force Damage per Ironoak Bramble removed.
Vulnerable: If a target with Ironoak Bramble Counters becomes Vulnerable while affected by Bramble Growth, they die, and the brambles spread all over them, then seek to become roots. If those roots take hold, a new Calm Ironoak Tree begins growing at the location.
Taking Root: It takes a Calm Ironoak a month to grow to over 60 feet tall and reach physical maturity. If the soil can’t sustain the growth, the Calm Ironoak dies. It grows approximately 1 Meter a day.

Calm Ironoak Stem Effects
“What a strange converse. I’ve seen the Calm Nights talk to trees, holding nothing back in hope that real wisdom may be found. They say if you talk to the right tree, and have the right kind of problem. That tree will provide you with both answers and the tool necessary to solve the issue.”
