Miquella's Haligtree and Elphael
The Haligtree is the sacred tree secretly cultivated by Miquella, watered with his own blood and nourished by his spiritual essence, to become an alternative to the Erdtree. Unlike the Erdtree which operates on golden grace and imposed Order, the Haligtree is founded on unconditional love. It welcomes the marginalized: Albinaurics (Latenna sought the city of Eburion at its edges), graceless priests, misshapen beings, all those the Golden Order rejects. Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree, is the cradle-city built within its branches, destined to be the Promised Land of the Order's outcasts. Malenia was transported there after the Battle of Aeonia by Finlay and slept long in its roots in an attempt to purge her rot through the Tree's love. The connection with the Erdtree (and thus the Greater Will) is absent from the Haligtree, its branches grew without golden grace, creating a space outside the normal cosmic jurisdiction. The Cleanrot Knights of Malenia guard its approaches. Latenna the Albinauric, upon reaching the Haligtree's snowy lands, completes the ultimate purpose of her quest: "I am so close to home.

War Counselor Iji (Dialogue)Will you show me the way? To the land of Miquella's Haligtree. If you accept, I would gladly apprise you. Of the whereabouts of the medallion's other half. My thanks... You'll lead me then, to the land of Miquella's Haligtree. Farewell, Lobo. My faithful wolf, my better half. Castle Sol lies just off to the north, where the other medallion is housed. It will grant passage to the land of the Haligtree. Oh young yet towering sister of ours. Let the birthing droplet in.
Latenna the Albinauric (Dialogue)It is I, Latenna. We have reached the land of Miquella's Haligtree, where Lobo and I began our travels. It's entirely thanks to you that I'm so close to home. These great snow-laden lands stretch far to the north. And beyond the ancient bowers, and the liturgical town of Ordina, lies the place to which I must return. We have reached the land of Miquella's Haligtree.
Dung Eater (Dialogue)Ah, good to see you. I heard the path to the Haligtree had been reopened. So I forced these old bones to weather the journey. Don't tell me it was you who opened the passage? St. Trina's, no, Lord Miquella's cadaver. I have partaken of untold secrets. Such that I might aid you, O Lord.
Millicent (Dialogue)I'm searching for a fort to the north of the ruins. I heard the master of the fort was given a medallion that allowed him to visit the Haligtree. Indeed, I believe that is where Malenia will be found. The Haligtree is hidden somewhere in these Northern lands. I'm searching for a fort to the west of the ruins. Again we meet. I can only surmise our purposes are aligned.
Grant life to the soulless bones! ... Lord Miquella, forgive me. The sun has not been swallowed. Our prayers were lacking. I will never set my eyes upon it now... Your divine Haligtree... ... Show me the path, O gentle lights. The promised path to the Haligtree! ... Only...a little further now... Show me the path, O gentle lights...the path to Elphael. ... Mohg, you rotten Omen. Your blood is cursed. Give him back. Give Lord Miquella back! How dare you lay hands on such precious flesh! ... Lord of Blood, your eminence.
Rotten Winged Sword InsigniaGreatly raises attack power with successive attacks. The four sisters were born in the Swamp of Aeonia, and came to the Haligtree under the aegis of Gowry. And yet, those buds were doomed to never blossom.
Miquellan Knight's SwordSword forged by servants of Miquella of the Haligtree, with a design modeled after those carried by Carian knights. Instead of glintstone however, amber from the Haligtree is embedded in the blade. A sumptuous piece, yet it has never been offered to any knight—an ill-starred sword with no master.
Royal Knight HelmSilver helm of Loretta, a knight who served Miquella's Haligtree. Loretta, once a royal Carian knight, went on a journey in search of a haven for Albinaurics, and determined that the Haligtree was their best chance for eventual salvation.
