* EndlessWinter: Just as a regular winter is beginning, [=TreeTree=] faces a continent-wide blizzard spell created through the sacrifice of 25,000 people. The resulting cold weather lasts for several years, and gets much more hostile than a natural winter, before it finally dies down. Even before it's over, though, he invests in research and skills that allow his trees and warbeetles to adapt to the cold and keep functioning (after about a year of work).

* BenevolentDictator: [=TreeTree=].As [=TreeTree=] grows in power, he eventually sets himself up as a GodEmperor (or rather, demigod). With the combined perspective of a former human turned into TheAgeless, he's generally a fair and forward-thinking ruler, who promotes peace and prosperity while also building up a military force to combat existential threats. He listens to others' counsel and generally values individual freedoms -- but ultimately, his word is law, with artificial minds giving him total surveillance of his domain, and rebels being executed through destructive medical research and experimentation. With all of that, his territory is probably the best place to live on the planet, and he's the best hope of repelling the demonic invasions, too. Just don't offend him.

Left to their own devices, this has resulted in a peaceful world full of lawyers quibbling with each other. Raph, however, upon visiting Aeon and seeing what the demons have wrought on other worlds, determines to turn their quest for Order outward and start imposing it on the vast number of purely chaotic worlds around them, which Aeon finds concerning.

* EnchantedForest: After a mage senses [=TreeTree=]'s presence spanning the valley and panics, ordering the army to retreat, [=TreeTree=]'s [Haunted tree] skill is upgraded to [Haunted forests], assisting him in intimidating and frightening intruders. Since the valley is full of thousands of trees under his control, all acting as his eyes and ears, and extending the range of his deadly [Root strike] and related skills, there's good reason for unwelcome visitors to be afraid.

* PuppeteerParasite: One of the more troublesome demon kings unleashes large numbers of parasitic larvae, which bite into their victims, injecting a numbing agent so they're not noticed, then take over the body and turn it into a demonic hatchery, while preserving the brain for last so they can pretend to go about life as normal. They're not extraordinarily powerful in combat, but the impact on morale is profound, and in the absence of specialist detection equipment, the only reliable countermeasure for a suspected outbreak is to scorch the earth, racking up large numbers of potentially innocent casualties.
