As you enter the clearing, you feel an ages old presence bearing on you. Upon a
small hill rises an immense and ancient Tree, it's upper reaches looming in the sky over you.

glade. At the base of the Tree, written in blood letters upon the red brown bark, a few words say:
"In the memory of Vempyre, caretaker of the Tree" |
