"Of other poor news, I hear of moles and groundhogs leaving their burrows because of strangeness, of trees toppling or dying, of odd things appearing.  All in the south.  Something strange is happening, and my children have not come home.  I ask you, those who have no roots, to go south and find why my children have not come home.  I have too many to tend to here to go myself."The treant pauses and tilts its head to the side."Would you do this thing?  The seeds of Rudare would be greatful, and I would grant you a growing reward."OOC:  You guys go ahead and describe your character, what he looks like and whatnot, and ask any further questions/make any comments you want/need to.  Rudare doesn't necessarily mind questions, and because a treant's mind works differently than a humanoid, sometimes he doesn't think to mention something until you ask him about it.</blockquote>
