Connects to: the Lands of the Night Cattle.
In this stretch of the Kingswood a mournful lowing can often be heard. It comes from a strange tree whose “fruit” is a series of ghastly cow heads. These heads produce bizarre sounds that induce cows from the nearby Land of the Night Cattle to wander from their fields into the forest. When these cows approach the tree its cow heads fall upon the unfortunate cow and tear it to pieces.
When an individual head has fed its fill a sac will fill with foul smelling gases and it will float away to see another tree of the same nature.
Recently cowherds from the nearby fields have noticed their cows going missing but blame cattle rustlers from nearby keeps rather than strange trees that they know nothing of.
Hooks:
- Will these accusations of rustling lead to violence?
- Why does this bizarre tree exist?
- Do similar trees exist elsewhere?
