The Silverbranch Tree is the second World Tree which came to life after the Silver Branch was planted into the heart of the Cursed Earth of Yamato at the end of the First Great War. Geraud Aurelac and the spirit of Grady Silverbranch sacrificed their own lifeforce to make the Silver Branch live again and consequently became part of the new Tree, replacing the tainted and dying Yggdrasil, the original World Tree.
