Root Mother Lore

• The Root Mother was once human but made the decision to sacrifice herself in an attempt to interface with the Root hive mind and hinder it from the inside, going to the old church and physically binding herself to the Root there, transforming her into a human-root hybrid. Eventually the player frees her from her prison, and she returns to Ward 13 to aid them.
  
  
• Root Mother's original human name was Evelyn Ceder.
  
  
• She is Commander Ellen Ford’s grandmother.
  
  
• Founder Andrew Ford was her husband.
  
  
• The world stone is what made Andrew Ford immortal. He had to find the Root Mother to become mortal again.
  
  
• An old journal of hers can be found in the room the player awakens in upon entering Ward 13, with the writings detailing earlier days of the war, the start of her dreams, and her romance with Ford.  A second journal can be found in a room in the church after defending the Root Mother - detailing more dreams, connections to the Root, and events leading to Evelyn becoming the Root Mother.
