with Roudimus, the flame-seared treant, promising that the old sage would see the council to
greatness. After much counsel and consideration, the Prophet and his most trusted cohorts met with
the treant in secret. Roudimus bestowed upon those gathered the ability to twist the very ground of  
the forest, allowing it to become fertile with demonic energies. The seeds that would grow to be the  
mighty Leechtree were sown in those clandestine moments.

Months passed in speculation and confusion before the saplings finally erupted from the soil,
surging forth and twisting into mighty roots that would birth a leechwood which stretched far above
the Khandava canopy. It was then that the final seeds were planted within the guildhalls of the  
Arboreals and Earthsingers. These seeds blossomed into writhing labyrinths of roots which consumed
all before them, destroying the guilds and those who resided within, bringing with them the close of
an era. The new growth imbued the demonic leechwood with the strength it required to fully convert
the council. The magick of the forest was drained from the land itself by the ravenous roots, filled
instead with something ancient and unknown, beginning a new age of Khandavan sovereignty. On the 9th  
day of Halitus, in the summer of 651 AD, a new Khandava was born from blood and desecrated loam.
It is upon that day that the first Defiler's thirst for desecration sprang forth, for it was the
roots of the leechwood that pierced the barriers between this world and the Pit, prying open the
cages of fiends trapped there. A Defiler's ability to torment their foes is born of these same
entities, coupled with the burning ire granted by their connection with Sukhder, the Moon of Terror.
The Deadwood now stands in testament to those who wrought it, eagerly practicing arts once shunned
to preserve and protect their beloved Leechtree.
