Rowan and the Evo Tree Quest:
The tales tell of Hebe, the Goddess of Youth, who dispensed rejuvenating ambrosia to the gods from her magical chalice. When she lost the cup to demons, the gods sent an eagle to recover the cup. The feathers and drops of blood the eagle shed in the fight with the demons fell to earth where they turned into a Rowan tree. The Rowan tree leaves took their shape from the eagle's feathers and the droplets of blood became Rowan Berries.
A young elven wizard named Rowan, and his new wife, Fiana, were attacked by evil mages on their wedding day. Separated by the cruel attackers, Rowan held them off with his magic and allowed Fiana to escape into the Otherworld. Trapped on this side with the attackers, Rowan hid inside a Rowan tree, but dropped his magic wand.
When Fiana realized Rowan didn't make it through the portal with her, she dedicated her existence to finding him and releasing him from his prison. Throughout the centuries, she sought out the Rowan tree and one by one destroyed it in her search for Rowan. Her magic grew darker with each destruction until Fiana was as evil as those who had attacked her and Rowan in the beginning.
Time passed, as it always does, and a young man named Collin found an entrance to a hidden valley. Inside, he found the fallen magic wand and released Rowan from inside the Rowan tree. Rowan was shocked to learn that 1500 years had passed since he had hidden inside the tree, and even more surprised to learn that Fiana had become evil and had been destroying the Rowan trees.
To protect the remaining trees from her, Rowan summoned Sharvan, a mighty giant who commanded the faeries to assist him and gave him the Rowan berries for protection. Bramble sprouts, the young roots of the Rowan tree, were secreted away inside the trees of the magical forest of Trammel. The few remaining tree pods were given to the Ancient Trees to guard until someone could prove themself a worthy opponent by defeating Fiana. Only then would they be worthy of taking care of one of the precious Rowan Trees.
If you think you are up to the task, I will tell you what you need to do for one of these precious tree pods.
Step 1: Find Collin in a hidden valley in Trammel where I once hid inside a Rowan tree. He will tell you this story and give you the chance of proving yourself strong enough to protect one of the Rowan tree seeds.
Step 2: Collin will send you to a forest in Trammel where you will need to collect some Bark Fragments for him. Be quick about it! They won't last forever.
Step 3: Somewhere in Felucca, in a very large forest, there live the mighty Ancient Trees that have hidden the Bramble Sprouts for Rowan. You will need to find them and collect some of the young Rowan's roots.
Step 4: Search the lands for a magical cave where the All-Seeing Evil Eye watches all adventurers who enter the magical gate. It's told that the gate will lead you to catacombs filled with evil creatures, each one worse than the last. In there, you will need to collect special Lich Legs that hold the magic powers of the evil necromancer that dropped them. Be quick or you'll lose them.
Step 5: Once you have collected all the items you need for your new Rowan tree, the final step is to find Fiana somewhere near a shrine in Trammel. She has been collecting Rowan tree pods over the centuries from the trees she has killed. If you are able to defeat her, she may be generous and give you one of her pods. Be careful. She won't be impressed by your strength as a fighter and her dark magic has only grown stronger over the years.
Oh, one last thing... if you find Sharvan, you may want to try your luck at defeating him. If you're lucky, he might be carrying a Rowan berry you can get. If you do get one, give it to me quickly and I'll reward you with some very special MiracleGro for you new evo tree.
Farewell, and good luck, young warrior.
Rowan of the Woods
(Staff Note: This is not a simple quest, nor is it a quick quest. While the Evo Tree Pod [seed] is the primary reward, it is a random reward. You may also get the Wood Crystal collection device [Woodbin]. There may be other rewards added/removed in the future. All things are editable as the shard deems necessary.)
