Seanathair

Unknown. Has allegedly lived for 200+ years.

Barren cliffs, rooted terrain.

One. It is situated near the mountains, northwest of Iadlain and south of Reluir.

Seanathair’s lower body appears to be made of dark, blue-grey roots that form a double heart shape on what we choose to call its chest. A single root makes out a link between the roots and a head-like growth that has two holes on each side, resembling but not functioning as eyes. It has a hole at the end of this head, around which many smaller roots sprout. These appear to be mobile and act as feelers. The part of Seanathair’s body that is not made of roots consists of a membrane-like structure through which you can see a green-blue fluid glow and flow.The roots seem semi-transparent as the same fluid can be vaguely seen through those as well.



Seanathair has taken roots into the ground and is immobile, but it can move the head and feelers around as much as the neck allows it. It seems tree-based but does not grow.



It is constantly shrouded in an odd sound. Some say it is Seanathair breathing, but there seems to be no source.

Seanathair is a very idle thing. It moves the head slowly, roots moaning and creaking. It seems aware of living creatures approaching it, ignorant to the species, but turning its head and feelers in their direction. It does not seem more interested than that, however, if one gets too close to it or becomes hostile, it will knock them away with its head.

It is highly questioned whether Seanathair is in fact a living creature or just a thing that merely reacts to certain conditions in the same manner as trees and plants. It has been proved that it does not in fact see or smell, but it reacts to sound and vibrations.

Apparently it feeds on the energy of the forest and nourishment in the ground. The hole in its head ends in a wall where the “eyes” begin and cannot be used to consume with.

Seanathair is rather useless in a material sense. It gives nothing and will not let people get too close to it.

Additional Information:

~It is advised not to kill or search for Seanathair without purpose because of Iadlish norms, and scientists and mages are still studying it. It is regarded with fear due to superstitions and its apperance and since so little is known about it people of Iadlain show it respect and leave it alone in order not to wake its wrath. Even the before-mentioned scientists and mages keep a reasonable distance. Outsiders harming Seanathair will be banned from town.



~ There was a smaller version of Seanathair referred to as Garmhac standing next to it way back when they were first discovered by a passing traveler a hundred years ago. Garmhac disappeared for unknown reasons shortly after more came to verify the existence of the two. Whatever happened happened while no one was around.



~ The old wives’ tale surrounding Seanathair and Garmhac is that the former was a wizard who looked for the answer to immortality in the long-lived trees. He managed to concoct an elixir and was so certain of its potency that he immediately drank it and gave it to his grandson as well. The elixir did grant them a longer life, but also turned them into the horrible creatures Seanathair and Garmhac. The story exists in different variations; sometimes the wizard asks the creatures of Wispwood for help, sometimes there is a mother of the grandson too, but the wizard always ends up being punished for trying to conquer death, dragging his grandson down with him.



~ The more logic part of Alva believe that they were trees heavily disgifured by a massive concentration of magic in the area which has now been exhausted due to them draining it.



~ Garmhac’s disappearance has even more theories that would be pointless to list by now.
