Let's sing to the trees

Let's talk a little about Glinnar gardening?

I understand that the topics of posts are becoming stranger and stranger every day, but here everything is just right. It’s just that another discovered document tells us exactly about it. Classics: Proto-River, written in Glinnar script. From the handwriting we can identify that it was most likely Motley.

There is a lot written there, but let’s pay attention to the two sentences below:

I see, however, all the girls are looking at songs anyway. and your songs are truly wordless network.

“I saw that the elves grow trees by singing songs to them. And such songs are often wordless (= have no words).”

I won’t beat around the bush and explain right away: this is a special type of song magic, not very well known to non-Alvians (yes, not only Glinnarians do such things), but very widespread in Alvian agriculture and gardening throughout the globe.

If you imagine this as dancing around trees and humming meaningless words under your breath, then... in fact, you are not far from the truth. Usually, however, no one leads round dances - they just sit next to each other.

What do the elves achieve with such magic? First of all, they force the trees to grow the way they need. No pruning, no additional care, no supports or struts: you just feed the tree regularly enough, and in the end it will turn out the way you want. And this applies to both ornamental plants and all others. For example, we read further in the same entries:

There are also two trees near the grape vines, which suits them every day. and you weave the stone pillars so fiercely and kindly that they are similar to the whole body.

“I also saw two alvas standing by the vines, singing to them like this every day. And they braided the stone pillars so evenly and well that they looked like a honeycomb.”
