Message: <blockquote data-quote="MavrickWeirdo" data-source="post: 1479749" data-attributes="member: 107">A LegendA impetuous elven wizard was running through the woods, fleeing an unspeakable monster. The wizard stopped short when he came to a river, almost falling in. He could hear the destruction getting closer behind him. The river was wide, and running fast with the spring thaw. The wizard cast a spell at base of the tallest tree he could find. The tree crashed down, bridging the river. The young elf scrambled onto the tree and across to the other side. When he reached the far side a druid was standing there, within the branches of the fallen tree.When the monster reached the river, the druid was able to scare it off. The wizard turned to the druid, to thank him, but stopped when he saw the serious expression on the druid's face."You have felled a Great Tree. You must never fell a Great Tree again. Where the tree fell is your grove now." pronounced the Druid."But I am a wizard, not a farmer." answered the young elf."You Felled a Great Tree, the place where it fell is your responsibility now. This is now Your Grove."In time the wizard became renouned for the magic items he created: Wands of unique spells, Staffs of elegance both physical and magical, and Rods of Ledgend. Other wizards often asked him his crafting secret. Before he died it is said he shared his secret with one appretice. He told the young elf, "I have something most wizards don't. I have a grove."For the DM: In the place where the Great Tree once fell, is now a small waterfall 3 feet tall, with a "causway" of stepping stones another foot over the water. Across the river is a half circle of trees. Each tree is a different type. They are totally natural, but of a slightly uncommon variety (Not fully unique, just uncommon). The wood from these trees is ideal raw material for making Staffs, or Wands. Gathering (even cutting) some wood to use is acceptable, but it would be unwise for players to be greedy or destructive.</blockquote>
