Ruins of Thundertree

Hidden in the depths of a tangled forest on the southern banks of the Adena River is the ruined village of Thundertree, so named for the legendary tree that grows at its center. The tree was called Arn Shanta by the elves, literally translated as The Storm Tree, and is believed to be a source of ancient power. The name comes from the lightning like flashes of magical energy that pulse through its branches and boughs.

In the past, the tree was said to have spread life around it, causing not only plants, but people as well to grow and prosper. But when the Sindarin Dynasty fell, the power of the tree caused the forest to reclaim the town.

In more recent years, stories have begun circulating telling of a strange curse that has permeated the area, causing vegetation to mutate into strange new forms, and the dead to rise from their graves. Few people dare venture into the ruins now, and those who do seldom stay long.
