Eidlum (Tree)
Purpose / Function
The remains an Archfey who died protecting its Elves during the Calamity Era, all that is left of it is a tall, ancient tree which bears ancient fruit and assures the survival of all surrounding plantlife. The influence of Eidlum extends for several miles.
The tree grows 4 fruit every month that are reachable by players. Higher limbs grow fruit, for a total of 12 fruit grown every month.
The fruit act as a superior healing potion, and cures exhaustion, all diseases, and poisons, and heals 1 point of corruption each. The tree only allows one fruit per person per month. If a player attempts to eat a second fruit, it will simply turn to dust in their hands, but cause no other harm.
Eidlum's fruit cannot heal evil creatures.
Architecture
Exterior
Passing through the magic barrier, just about a yard in front of you is a solid wall of turquoise tinted crystal that disappears into the canopy above. Below, is a small opening in the crystal, maybe only a foot tall, and two feet wide. Passing through, the crystalline walls are roughly two feet thick, and can’t be broken.Interior
Inside, it is warm, and everything is illuminated by soft, multicolored lights. The walls give off a blue glow, the grass is a greenish-blue color, and when you touch it with your hands, it feels soft. There’s a stream near the back of this meadow, it runs clear, and the soil beneath it appears nearly white, and leans an icy blue. The tree, standing in the center of the meadow, has rusty-brown colored bark, with limbs and small branches twisting up to an incredible height, the bottom of the canopy is, 70/75 ft high, and you can see that the branches above it reach even higher. Lower branches spiral down and offer glowing orange fruits with pinkish, flowing shimmers on the inside. It’s as if you’re looking into an enchanted snowglobe. The air is crisp smells subtly, like that of a peach. The place feels… almost healing. The warmth envelops you like a hug from a loving mother or the comfort of a hearty soup or strong ale.Defenses
Eidlum is protected by a magical barrier, which can be seen through with a DC 25 Perception Check. The barrier can be walked through, and only obscures vision and all detection magic. Other spells, however, can be cast through it.
The barrier rejects all evil-aligned creatures. If an evil-aligned creature is detected behind the crystal walls of Eidlum, it will be forced out or killed.
Eidlum welcomes all good-aligned creatures into its domain. It Welcomes all neutral-aligned druids, and most other neutral aligned creatures without bad intentions.
Some evil-aligned Druids can walk among the Eidlum, but they must prove their worth first, or fool the tree with deception magic and a DC 25 charisma (deception).
Behind the Illusory barrier is a thick wall of turquoise crystal which softly glows. It is at least two feet thick, and cannot be broken by normal means.
