Thieving Ash

The Thieving Ash was a supernatural tree grown by the Rotting Man, a servant of Talona, in the late 14 century DR. He used this tree to capture the power of an aspect of Lurue and divert it for his own purposes.

Description
Likely an ash, the tree was over in height, with an ovoid canopy of sickly leaves that dripped with a disturbing fluid. It had a twisted, blackened trunk, with a large, partially burst cyst at its base.

Habitats
The only known specimen of the Thieving Ash was in The Close in the Rawlinswood.

History
The Thieving Ash was used by the Rotting Man to steal away the power of Araluen, so as to turn her into the Step-Daughter of Talona. It was grown at some point after the Rotting Man captured Dun-Tharos in. A small fragment of Araluen's light managed to escape from the trap, creating Ash, a baby that appeared near Fullpoint in ; the Step-Daughter emerged from the cyst at the base of the trunk in.
