Benauril was an outcast wizard from Halruaa who was active circa the mid-to-late 12th century DR. He was notable for creating the creatures known as dark trees.[1][2]
Activities[]
Benauril's research involved necromancy and a variety of other, similarly distasteful forms of magic.[3]
History[]
From within the Aerilpar Forest, Benauril spent a great deal of time trying to create his own breed of treant-like servants that would heed his will.[1][3] He invested a great deal of time into his work, and was initially quite pleased with his progress until a failed experiment produced the first dark trees, which rebelled and killed him.[3]
