Caltae is the companion of Taurus. She was before the Minotaurs fell into a lethargy for a thousand years, and she will be forever. Caltae lay with Taurus in the chamber of sleep, paralysed and unable to stir or feel emotion. With the awakening of Taurus in 0 EC, she too awoke, and she was to be the conscientious side of Taurus for the next 1000 years.
This tree species is typical for the steppes of Tirakan. The blood tree is a broad-stemmed solitary tree with a height of up to 5 threads and small, fleshy leaves. Furthermore, it is recognizable by its dark red bark, its wood has a light red color. If one eats of the bark of the blood tree, it causes the pupil to swell and the iris to turn purple. Many people find this disgusting, but others like this color change of the eyes. At least it is worthwhile for steppe inhabitants to peel the blood tree and sell the bark at the next traveling merchant.
