The Marrow-Yew

Villagers of Nattveden speak of the tree that weeps white dust. Long ago, an inquisitor attempted to 'slay' the forest by driving an enchanted iron stake into its heart. Instead of dying, the forest's soul retreated into this single tree, which has been in a state of suspended, psychic torment ever since.
