 ==Background==
-Therendil was first brought to Wehnimer's Landing at the request of [[Deylan]]. He is a priest of Marlu, and he was brought in to help break the lasting curse that [[Barnom Slim]]'s dark magic had left on the forests outside of town. Therendil had ten local rangers volunteer their blood, and that of their companies, to help with the ritual to heal the lands. He then later presented Deylan with a jar of black seeds. Those seeds were planted behind Moot Hall, and in time grew to become the gnarled black trees that grew black apples filled with blood, now referred to as [[Black Blood Trees|black blood trees]]. At the time, due to a curse, [[Mayor Walkar]] hungered for flesh and blood. These trees were a non-violent way for Deylan to provide that nourishment to Walkar, without it costing innocent lives. The black trees, of course, would later become a powerful tool for [[Althedeus]] to try to usher in a new age of chaos.

			It was an excellent RP event and I loved it, although I can say without a doubt my character didn't! It did take a loonnngg time so log editing will be pretty arduous. If anyone wants to wade through an uncut version earlier, send a note to my play.net and I can send it.

			The reader's digest version is....

			Dark Priest Therendil, a servant of Marlu, was asked by Councilman Deylan to use his familiarity with dark magic to undo the magic of the blighted murky pools left as a parting gift from the power that corrupted Barnom Slim, commonly known as Althedeus. Mayor Walkar, who claims to know Deylan from before Walkar ever came to Landing, seems to trust him implicitly and allowed the Priest to work his magic. He explained that he would need the blood of ten companion-bonded rangers, as well as the blood of their companions, as their connection to nature is what would make the magic work; he also indicated he would need the "wicked" of the town. He remained curiously silent on further details, though he was asked many times. After quite a lot of back-and-forth, ten rangers stepped up.

			Therendil led the group of rangers, and Walkar led the huge group of observers. At the first pool, Therendil cut the first companion across the back, and its ranger across the chest. He used his tentacles to gather what blood he needed, and healed their wounds immediately. Then he turned to the pool, pushed his arm into it, and lifted it from the ground along his arm. He turned to Walkar and said to bring the wicked. Walkar nodded... and several guards arrived, holding a manacled prisoner. The assembled group erupted into a flurry of questions, objections, and goading. Therendil was unmoved, and though Walkar appeared to be nervous and on edge, he was resolute. Therendil touched his shadow-encircled arm to the prisoner, and the shadowy pool immediately poured over him and consumed him, amid his screams of pain.

			This same scene played out nine more times, with the cutting sessions growing more violent and painful, and the cries of the prisoners alternating between begging for mercy and spitting on the assembled observers. Walkar claimed each was a condemned prisoner awaiting execution, and that many were captured Rooks. He refused to stop the ritual partway through, though he was asked many times, claiming that he would make the sacrifices of the earlier rangers and prisoners meaningless if he did. He grew angry and defensive at times, and tried to avert his eyes from the ritual at others. Throughout, Therendil was unmoved, despite interruptions, although his enjoyment of the cutting sessions was obvious.

			..........

			I'm sure I didn't capture every nuance of the hundreds of interactions that happened so please chime in if there's anything I may have left out!
