==Shadowroot Tree==

It is said that a terrible [[Lethus Dragon (3.5e Monster)|lethus dragon]] once arose in the world with plans of malice and powerlust.  He sought control over the cycle of life and death and in doing so become a god of the dead where he may covet all the souls unto himself.  From the ranks of the pious did word get out of this and five legendary heroes; a righteous knight, a kindly druid, a child of death, an unwavering giant, and a dragonslaying archer took unto themselves a quest to slay this usurper of the natural order.  It was a long a costly battle but in the end the heroes subdued the dragon and buried him within a sacred forest.  There the blessed trees would grow around its corpse and entomb its evil, though they themselves became attuned to the shadow and the dead as the dragon had been in life.  So then did these twisted black branches grant entry to lands forbidden.
