It’s naturally occurring? The idea that a town would settle at the base of a naturally occurring barrier isn’t weird, but we don’t have anything like this where I’m from. Not naturally speaking.
It's a really rare phenomenon, even in our world. The prevalent theory is that a barrier blastia fused with the tree a long time ago, before it grew to be so big.
Oh! They're a technology people used to use in my world. The cores are like gemstones, and they produce magic by converting the energy around them. They're then fitted into a "body" with a formula that determines how that energy is used.
We used them for everything, from protecting cities with barriers, producing heat and water, and even for spellcasting.

The tree of Halure generates a barrier that wards away monsters. It's not only beautiful, but it's also a very peaceful place to live.

That's a... pretty convenient way of doing things. One "blastia" could heat a whole neighbourhood?

That sounds incredibly resource handy, but also like it could be dangerous if all it takes is the correct combination of two parts.

-- Oh, but never mind that for now! Do you have any places from home you're fond of?

[ sad. ]
I have a few. Why, are you curious?
