The Chwinga: The chwingas communicate through gestures and have formed a deep bond with the expedition. They led the party to discover the corruption, guided them through the Tree's interior, and embraced as the wood began to heal. More chwingas now gather, placing their hands against the walls as golden light spreads through the roots.
The Eladrin: The three Eladrin manifested in a temporary pocket of the Feywild to explain the Tree's nature - an axis touching three realms where direct contact between Feywild and Shadowfell should be impossible. They revealed the existence of two other anchor points (the Great Pine and Great Mushroom) and promised further reward for restoration of the portal network.
The chwingas carved the cult pendant's likeness into bark and handed it to Autumn, who promised to consult his brother.
Gifts Given:
