If you’ve come this far you must know that the key to what C.W. is trying to do is all about connecting the trees. So, let’s do it.

{{ExplorationGuideSmallTitle|Water, Roots, and Portals}}
What is this place? This is where the roots of the tree seem to feed, and feeding them seems to involve letting them have water. And the equipment seems to monitor the health. And then those crazy, crazy pathways through the universe — they link things in rather bizarre ways. It’s all about connection.

=== Story Bits ===
{{ExplorationGuideStoryBits|down-the-rabbit-hole|<p>These Trees have an interesting history. Each of the worlds has a tree at its center that began growing when the world itself was taken. The trees go through various cycles as they mature, providing meetings and interactions for the various species along the way.</p>

<p>The story behind the Trees is unclear, but the process hints that the trees can reach fruition. What happens then is anybody’s guess. It was the postulation of what happens at fruition that spurred the monitoring and governing of the Trees’ energy. What would happen? When would it happen? Where would things end up? Some of the inhabitants thought it was better to control such things rather than let them just happen.</p>}}

=== Gameplay Hints ===
Get everything healthy and connected. In case you didn’t get that from C.W. we’ll just spell that part out.

{{ExplorationGuideGameplayHints|down-the-rabbit-hole|All trees need water. Start there.|The water down here seems to have been pumped out — not good for tree health.|Hmmm. What might be a great place to store water in Hunrath?|Find your way to the water tower in Hunrath (through C.W.’s workshop). Open that valve, then open the valve in each “heart” beneath the Trees. This will start restoring the Tree health, AND open the portals between worlds.}}
