Nyxthorn, Large
Tree

Tree
50,000 lbs Glass

Physical Description

  1. Each Nyxthorn stands between 10–30 feet tall, resembling a leafless, obsidian tree with gnarled, twisting branches that glow faintly with veins of violet or deep red light.
  2. The bark is not wood—it is hardened, glass-like crystal, razor-sharp and capable of splintering into thin, needle-like shards.
  3. Shards dangle from their limbs like hollow thorns, barely held in place by delicate mineral filaments. A single disturbance can send them cascading down like a hail of jagged knives.

Unique Properties

  1. Shadow-Infused: The trees absorb light rather than reflect it, darkening the surrounding area unnaturally.
  2. Lifesiphon Aura: Those who stand near them for too long (more than a minute) may feel fatigue creep into their bones (Willpower DC 14 or suffer minor stamina loss).
  3. Resonant Whispers: When wind moves through them—or when disturbed—the crystals emit faint echoes, sometimes forming half-heard voices. These are not truly speech, but the residual energy of the monolith trying to reach out.

The bark is blackened and split, curling away in brittle sheets. Deep cracks spider across the trunk, exposing ashen wood beneath. The air around it carries the faint, bitter scent of lingering smoke.
