Grandfather Tree
Shrine in The High Forest, The High Forest
The Grandfather Tree is an arakhor, an ancient and enormous treant in the form of a gnarled oak deep in the High Forest, and the sacred site of the Tree Ghost tribe of the Uthgardt.
An immense, ancient oak rises above the forest canopy, its roots wide enough to shelter a village and its leaves whispering even when there is no wind.

Overview
The Uthgardt are the barbarian tribes of the North, each named after its totem animal and each keeping an ancestral mound: a sacred site where its dead are honoured and its rites are held.
The Grandfather Tree stands deep in the High Forest, with the Lost Peaks to the south-west. It is in fact an arakhor, an elder form of treant, protected by many wards. Two rings of raised earth surround it, and the bones of Tree Ghost warriors lie beneath the outer one.
