The Gulthias Tree

Belak the Outcast found the Gulthias Tree deep within the Sunless Citadel.  Ages ago a wooden stake had been used to slay a vampire.  The stake had still been green and an evil tree grew from it.

Belak the Outcast found the tree 12 years ago and nurtured it into full health.  The tree grew two apples a year.  The Midsummer apple was pure ruby red and healed all ailments.  The Midwinter apple was pale white and merely touching it could kill a man.

Belak got the Durbuluk Clan of Goblins to auction these apples in the nearby town of Oakhurst in order to spread the seeds.  The seeds grew into walking trees called Twig Blights, and Belak believed that these saplings could eventually grow into more Gulthias Trees.

Sir Braford organized a group of people to find out where the apples were coming from.  He and his group were killed in their quest.

The party found all of their bodies, fought Belak and destroyed the Gulthias Tree.
