The Witch-Tree
The first sard was created when the Eldest known as the Green Mother beckoned the sky's rage to strike the eldest oak in her domain, transforming the tree into a living siege engine that would annihilate any wall that stood in her way. This original sard still stands sentinel in the Hanging Bower of the First World, having lain dormant for centuries. Fey still give the witch tree a wide berth, however, as none know when the lightning within might crackle to life once more.
