Gorathal, the Spine of the Forest

In his mortal life, Gorathal was the guardian of the stone sanctuaries within the Forest of Marn — temples where nature was worshiped as a living spirit.
When men began cutting the trees to build their villages, Gorathal stood alone, defending with his body what remained of the woods.

His flesh hardened into bark and leaves, scales of green and brown; roots grew through his bones, binding his body to the soil.
From his back sprouted branches that bear fruit which never ripens — a symbol of the halted cycle.
When he moves, the forest trembles with him.
His steps awaken insects, sprouts, and the echoes of prayers long forgotten.
