In the fetid depths of Graywater lies a deep and dark secret: the gnarled gray tree. The tree, you see, is home to the beast of the bogs: the wretched Hasdrabal the Consumer, eater of souls. Once of elf of Tearwood, through the many vile acts he committed in his long lifespan, the elf grew larger and viler, turning into a great morbid pile of flesh and fat. Driven away, he became darker still within the murky swamps and began to encroach on the halfling lands of Pinedale.

  • In the fetid depths of Graywater lies a deep and dark secret: the gnarled gray tree. The tree, you see, is home to the beast of the bogs: the wretched Hasdrabal the Consumer, eater of souls. Once of elf of Tearwood, through the many vile acts he committed in his long lifespan, the elf grew larger and viler, turning into a great morbid pile of flesh and fat. Driven away, he became darker still within the murky swamps and began to encroach on the halfling lands of Pinedale. The halflings resisted and a priestess of Yondalla, the Watch-Marshal of Pinedale and the local Gaffer, fought side-by-side against the beast, beating it back into the swamp and chased it into its' lair. They fought the beast by a great wonderous tree and then the three returned to their homes. But the acts of the vile Hasdrabul could not be undone that easily and slowly, his blood mingled with the tree, making it as gnarled and cruel as he is. The Gnarled Gray Tree soon became sentient, and learned to uproot itself and walk around its' swampy domain. It often plants itself and waits for travellers to rest and wait by it, the its' massive roots circle and coil around them to drag them down beneath the waters where they drown. The drowned victims will then rise again as unholy walking dead, wandering about ready to slay any who come across them, like the gnarled tree itself. The halflings of Pinedale fear the tree as much as they did Hasdrabul, but placate it by offering a portion of their harvest to the Gnarled Gray Tree in exchange for safe passage if they ever wish to enter Graywater. It appears this custom has had mixed results.
