Hu

Hu was the oldest and largest tree on the moon of Iteru, planted there almost 35,000 years before Book 1 by Brahma. Like the rest of the Scions of Heaven, Hu started out as a cutting from a tree (in this case a date palm) from Heaven's Arcane Garden, and was brought into the Physical Realm by Brahma. Its portal to the Nether Realm was among the first of the scions' portals to be closed, thus Iteru was the place separated from the Gods for the longest time. Like the rest of the Scions of Heaven, Hu possessed magical properties, and its bark was used in Khufu's ritual to create the Golden Fang, an Astral Artifact. Hu's fruit had healing properties, and the priests of Iteru used it to make a special wine that could cure most diseases and heal almost any wound. However, even Hu's fruits were powerless against the Blood Bleaching. During the Iteru Genocide, Hu, like all life on the planet, withered and died in the harsh desert without access to Iteru's life-giving aquifer. Hu, as a result, is the only one of the Scions of Heaven to have died. However, as of this writing, a seed from Hu that Weasel found during his time spelunking the ruins of Iteru was given to the Ishga Government, where it remains in cryostorage until a suitable location can be found to plant it.
