Mnemonic Stories
In the elf village, the houses aren't built, but are living trees whose branches are shaped and held together with a magical, sap-like glue.
To protect the village from the monstrous beasts of the forest, the villagers built a wall of felled trees, sealing the gaps between the wood with a strong, tar-like glue.
