Hanging Tree of Ravencourt

The Hanging Tree of Ravencourt or the Magistree, is a spectral phenomenon that is localized in the area of Ravencourt, Waterdeep. In appearance it is a typical Hangman tree, but it will only react to those who are unpunished for capital crimes, known or unknown.

The Magistree is actually the spirit of Magister Pallak Nharrelk of House Nharrelk who was slain by the corrupt Guildmasters in 1279 DR. The tree is considered an arm of the King's Justice.

Three men were judged by it in 1479 DR, after a recess of more than a century.
