Erdentree
Bu madde henüz yalnızca İngilizce.
Erdentree is a powerful fey spirit, a nature spirit that takes the form of a golden elk. The druids of the Circle of Lunara spent a hundred years planning its release from the Feywild back into the forests of Westreach.1
Captivity and rescue
Erdentree was held in the Grove of Looming Shadows in the Feywild by the dark fey lord Blaspheus. The druids' magic was strong enough to open a way for the spirit with a ritual, but the ritual had to reach the place where it was held, and for that they needed help.1
The Circle hired adventurers to carry a magical ember to the heart of Erdentree's prison and so connect the druids with the spirit. Thirteen adventurers, led by Archdruid Perildien, took the task and brought Erdentree's spirit back into the material plane. Their plan had been to avoid fighting the archfey; the survivors of the mission went on to found the Servants of the Moonlit Circle. The father of Lachland was one of those who entered the lair of Blaspheus to save the spirit.2
After its release
Freedom did not come easily. After a century of captivity, Erdentree went through a long period of distress as it adapted to the energies of the mortal realm. For months the spirit wandered the woods, and many humanoid inhabitants died at its hands out of its fear of being captured again.3
During one of these feral outbursts it came upon the winter house of the Von’frevein family. Vaness Von’frevein saw it from her window and went to it with nothing but admiration. Erdentree recognised the purity of her heart and sensed in her a captivity like its own, and for the first time in its centuries-long existence it let a mortal ride it. They rode through the grove and the forest all night while the archfey spoke to her.3
Erdentree wished Vaness to be its sole warlock and protector. Days after she took up that role, her illness disappeared. The spirit's magic strengthens her vitality and her swordsmanship and fills her strikes with fey power, and her close bond with Erdentree made her a prominent figure among the Servants of the Moonlit Circle.3
Hunted by Blaspheus
Blaspheus has not given up the spirit. The archfey's devotees and warlock are constantly searching for a way to bring Erdentree back into the Grove of Looming Shadows.4
