Druid Outcast - CR: 4
Story
Baylek the Outcast was expelled from the Lolora coven because he dared to expand nature’s reach in ways he felt their puny minds could not grasp.
​
For 12 years, he lived in the grove researching in and maintaining the gIlthus Tree. He made great effort to distribute the fruit and its seeds that the tree produced. These seeds when planted would eventually grow into Twig Blights which would spread quickly across the lands. He wanted to spread the horrid creatures as far as he could and pressured the local goblins into helping with the distribution of the seeds.
Belak eventually managed to captured Sir Braford and make them the first supplicants of the tree. They were under his control and he used them to help defend the tree.​
