A tree of grotesque fusion made of nature and corruption. Its gnarled branches writhe with malevolent energy, and blood-red sap drips like tainted tears. A cursed arboreal monstrosity, it looms as a dark sentinel, embodying the twisted interplay between life and vampiric malevolence.
Legends tell of a vampire named Gulthias who worked terrible magic and raised up an abominable tower called Nightfang Spire. Gulthias was undone when a hero plunged a wooden stake through his heart, but as the vampire was destroyed, his blood infused the stake with a dreadful power. In time, tendrils of new growth sprouted from the wood, growing into a sapling infused with the vampire's evil essence. It is said that a mad druid discovered the sapling, transplanting it to an underground grotto where it could grow. From this Gulthias tree came the seeds from which the first blights were sown.
