When Conrad Elstein fled into Tryamin Forest, the foul ichor of Idinhelieth and Seroca left in his wake took hold on much of the flora and fauna of the region. Though the local druidic circle have been able to heal or restore most of the corrupted land, certain creatures still bear dark influence, despite their efforts. The Thornmother is one such creature, a corrupted creation of Renmaeth whose newfound penchant for flesh has left a dozen druids devoured in their attempts to heal her. The druids now seek outsider aid, in a bid to restrain and hold back the creature whilst the druids complete the ritual to remove the poisonous influence of the dark divine in her heart.
