Gulthias Tree

The Gulthias Tree grew from a yet-green wooden stake that had been used to kill a vampire on that very spot, and the tree accepts humanoids bound to its bole as "supplicants", making the victims completely subservient to its will.

The outcast druid Belak suffered greatly as a young man during the orc war. He saw that both man and Orc cared little for nature during war and by the end of the war he started to doubt that any humanoid race deserved it. Spurred on by dreams of a "Man in Black" Belak sought out the tree and its power.

After finally finding the Gulthias Tree Belak studied it and allied with goblins to distribute its seeds by way of magical apples that grow on the tree. The goblins sold the apples for a profit, but the seesds were distributed nonetheless. Sometime later the Goblins delivered Sharwyne Hucrele and her companion Sir bradford to Belak to become thralls of the tree.

Both the tree and Belak would meet their end at the hands of the party that would eventually be known as Dawm Breakers. Sharwyn survived only long enough to give a last message to her father, the merchant Kero Hucrele.
