N'tara

Ancient, forgotten legends speak of an immortal fey spirit forged into the form of a titanic tree who's roots spread through Gadriel and into the astral sea, this being was known as N'tara the sleeper. N'tara was bound by the gods Hathotis and Auppenser during the dawn wars along with their twin Xith'tara the corrupter, after Xith'tara attempted to call forth Yulhulm Achathoth into Gadriel. N'tara was bound willingly in order to become its twins jailer.

Talons of N'tara
Xith'taras managed to sow seeds of madness and corruption throughout Gadriel during its imprisonment, twisting peoples dreams until they became consumed with the desire to find and free Xith'tara, these twisted individuals became known as the Xixsota. In order to protect the world tree and keep Xith'tara captive, N'tara recruited an enclave of druids to defend her grove from Xith'taras minions. Later this group became known as the Talons of N'tara, a group of druids, clerics, warriors and mages dedicated to defending N'tara and keeping Xith'tara imprisoned.
