I became interested in this tree when I read about it’s rare cases of spontaneous combustible. It lives to be about five hundred years old. It may not live as long as the Great Bristlecone pine but I think it’s durable to catch afire several times and keep on chugging the miles.
Few things lives as long the Redwood or Great Bristlecone pine. The Redwoods lives for up to 2,000 years.
The oldest recorded living tree on record is a Great Bristlecone pine, believed to have a lifespan of over 5,000 years. Located in the White Mountains of California, the unnamed tree is considered the oldest living tree in the world.
Iroko (also known as ‘uloho’ in the Urhobo language of Southern Nigeria, and as odum in the Kwa languages of Ghana[1]) is a large hardwood tree from the west coast of tropical Africa that can live up to 500 years.[2] This is the common name for the genus Milicia, in which there are two recognized species, which are closely related: Milicia excelsa and Milicia regia.[3]
The tree is known to the Yoruba as ìrókò, logo or loko and is believed to have supernatural properties.[4] Iroko is known to the Igbo people as oji wood.[5] It is one of the woods sometimes referred to as African teak, although it is unrelated to the teak family. The wood colour is initially yellow but darkens to a richer copper brown over time.

She wished to complete them all before introducing them to public so the readers wouldn't have to for the continuation to be written.
The ideas of the book come from classic literature such as whose work greatly influence the world world such as Homer, Sophocles, Herodotus, Euripides, Socrates, Hippocrates, Aristophanes, Plato, Aristotle and many more. The "Book of Enoch" influenced the usage of Azazael as a main character and love interest. I created the primary main character from the Chronicle of Saints. I wanted to show them as real flesh and blood with thoughts, desires and yearning as any human. Not as they are so often depicted. So I created one of my own to show her as a real human that everyone can relate to.
