Leechwood
Race: Tree
Location Maiden
When Maiden, infused with arcane magic’s broke from the snowy peaks of Stormhold, it caused quite the stir in much of the local fauna. And like most vegetation in Maiden, Leechwood absorbed a unique palette of magical qualities.
The benefits of this magical imbuement were that he of course became strong and powerful, with a thick sturdy trunk, and deep growing roots. His newly amassed branches were infused with strength, causing his boughs to swing with purpose and aim. His bark hardened, becoming impenetrable to all but the most skilled arrows and swords.
But as with most magic, there were some setbacks, the foremost being that most of his leaves fell off. While some might think that Leechwood was simply going through a season, the harsh truth was that Leechwood was now bald, something that he would be ridiculed greatly for through the whispers of the gossiping trees.
However the single most interesting thing that this magical concurrence performed on Leechwood, could be seen as a benefit, or a detriment; depending on the pondering party. Leechwood pulled his trunk from the ground for the first time, put one root in front of the other, and became what most people would call, alive.
