Origin
Before the dawn of human history, circumstances have brought about the creation of plant elementals on Earth such as the Swamp Thing.  Each elemental was created from a human that died in the flames of a forest of swamp.  Rising from the embers and mire is an inhuman plant elemental bearing a consciousness patterned after the dead.

When each plant elemental, known as an Erl-King, grows weary of an active existence it seeks escape from the distractions of the world.  The plant elementals take root in a Brazilian grove near the source of the river Tefe.  Forming into trees, the elementals abandon the power of speech, instead mentally communicate among themselves as a Parliament of Trees.
