Tree Ghost tribe

The Tree Ghost Tribe were a Uthgardt barbarian band that seperated from the Blue Bear tribe in 1313 DR.

History
In 1372 DR, the Tree Ghost ancestral mound was the Grandfather Tree.

The Tree Ghosts, led by Gunther Longtooth and their tribal shaman Chungred Ghostheart, are one of the few barbarian tribes who have achieved peace in recent memory, rediscovering their long-lost ancestor mound of Grandfather Tree on Shieldmeet in 1368 DR.

Many of the tribe's members believe that the destruction of the was Uthgar's punishment toward that wicked tribe. The Tree Ghosts have refused to allow any former Blue Bear tribesmen to join their clan, fearful of attracting the "fury of Uth- gar."

However, they have banded together with the other wood-land creatures to defend the forest from harm, swearing peace with the elves, treants, satyrs, dryads, and other forest inhabitants. While the Tree Ghosts still respect Alustriel of Silverymoon, they now believe that their true path lies with preserving Grandfather Tree and the forest that surrounds it. Alustriel has made it clear that she respects their desire to protect Grandfather Tree, and she has provided the barbarians with much-needed supplies for the tribe's town that is being built near the ancestor mound.

Chungred Ghostheart fell while fighting a brown bear, breaking his back in the process. After three-years of depression and drunkenness, he began training a young woman, Spirithajj, to take his place. Meanwhile, she cares for the paraplegic Ghostheart and is becoming the spiritual leader of the Tree Ghosts.

Religion
They considered the Grandfather Tree sacred and maintained a camp nearby.
