Following the second arrival of the [[Black Fleet]] in the [[Sol System]], a  '''[[Tree of Silver Wings]]''' was discovered by [[Eris Morn]] in the [[Cradle]] on [[Io]]. The relationship of this tree to the original "Tree of Silver Wings", which existed either within the [[Black Garden]] or the metaphorical "[[Garden]]" that gave rise to the universe, is unclear.

During the arrival of the Pyramids, [[Osiris]] recovered a [[Seed of Silver Wings|seed]] from the Pyramids<ref>'''Bungie (2020/3/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Worthy]], [[Weblore:Season of the Worthy#What Gives Me Pause|Weblore: What Gives Me Pause]]''</ref>. He later received a message from [[Mara Sov]] relayed to him through [[Brother Vance]], which instructed him simply to "plant the seed"<ref>'''Bungie (2020/3/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Worthy]], [[Lore:Trials and_Tribulations#Chapter 8 - Idolatry|Trials and Tribulations, Chapter 8 - Idolatry]]''</ref>. This suggests that the tree grew from the seed Osiris planted, or at least that Osiris placed the seed at its base. However, Eris Morn claimed the tree had been created by the [[Traveler]] back when it was transforming Io during the [[Golden Age]]. Eris stated that the tree on Io had a parent tree that had been felled within the Black Garden.

After [[The Ionian Pyramid|one of the Pyramids]] settled over the Cradle, it began projecting a beam directly onto the tree. The tree fed on the [[Paracausality|paracausal]] energy and integrated it into itself, with [[Light]] and [[Darkness|Dark]] vying for dominance in its structure,<ref>[[Seed of Silver Wings]]</ref> and slowly transformed over a period of weeks into a darker version of itself with a crown of more angular, jagged "leaves".

During its transformation, a new branch grew at the base of the tree, which was then taken by the [[The Guardian|Guardian]] and crafted into the [[trace rifle]] [[Ruinous Effigy]].

==Trivia==
*A Ghost projection in [[Eververse Trading Company|Eververse]] refers to the tree as the '''Sterling Arbor''', a synonym for "silver tree".
*The patterns that can be seen on the spiralling trunk of the tree are extremely similar to patterns found within the [[Pyramid (Luna)|Pyramid on Luna]]. These same patterns can be found also on [[Ruin Wings]] and [[Mk. 44 Stand Asides]] armor pieces.
*A Ghost projection in [[Eververse Trading Company|Eververse]] refers to the tree as the '''Sterling Arbor'''; however, it is unknown whether or not this is a canon name in the lore.
