I'd venture, littlemanpoet,

that this wrong turn had to do with Trees in a Blessed Realm.

I've heard two mentioned, a Tree of Life and a Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. An envious being bent on destruction crept into the Realm. The light of the trees was tampered with, leading to a marring of the Earth itself, an exile to a harsher land, a kinslaying ...

Silmarillion / Genesis ... True Myth.

Well worth pondering, eh?

At your Service,

Gandalf the Grey
