Overview
In the northwestern approaches of Mount Scorshia (02.03) lies a difficult to reach stand of trees known as the Scorshia birches. The bark of these trees can be used to brew a subtle tea and if their wood is turned into charcoal, doused in blood and then burned it produces smoke that grants mystical visions concerning the source of the blood. The monks of the dwarven monastery (03.04) value this wood greatly and soak it in their own blood before burning it in the holy forge fires of the Drinker of Iron in order to gain wisdom from its smoke.
Connection
- Severard of the Seven Circles left a chest of charcoal doused in dragon blood that came from these birches (13.08).
Hooks
- Where did Severard get the dragon’s blood from? Is it all from the same dragon?
- Why is the stand of birches difficult to get to?
- What is the source of the wood’s magic?
- What visions have the dwarves seen from breathing the smoke?
- Who else wants the wood of the Scorshia birches?
