Tree of Hatred

A tree, most certainly very far from where you are right now, which has been imbued with generations worth of Tiefling hatred towards the Dragonborn. Once, the tree of absolutely indeterminate age and renowned grandeur bore thin crystalline blood-red leaves that shimmered in the daylight. Two such monuments had been chosen in the Dragonborn and Tiefling realms respectively, as monuments of tolerance in the brief periods of peace long-since past. However, as relations failed, the Tieflings began to pour their hatred of the Dragonborn into the tree, so much so that the leaves withered and the bark blackened, and all the soil that the roots touched became poisoned and sterile. It is rumoured that those that cross onto this land will hear the screams of anger of ghosts past. None-the-less, the tree has become a new monument for the tiefling people, symbolizing their sacrifice, heritage, and history. It is rare for visitors to be allowed on the hallowed ground surrounding the tree, and it is fiercely protected from any meddling kids as an historic artifact.

FUN FACT:  The Dragonborn monument of peace was a clear fresh water river known as The great arc of Leucis, named after an Ancient Tiefling hero who helped to forge the five great (and long destroyed) peace pacts. The arc of Leucis ran through the old dragonborn Liberan capital of Chak'Zeit, however when the Tiefling became enemies once more, the dragonborn became so furious that they lined the river in the thousands, and evaporated it with their dragonbreath. The heat was so unbearable that as many as 10% of the participants died, and the river never flowed again. Without a water source, the capital of Chak'Zeit crumbled and dragonborn were forced to gather their forces elsewhere. Leaders are mindful to manage their spite more carefully now.
