Anixius Tree

   The first time this mystical tree was discovered, it was believed to be one of the legendary Millenium Trees. In fact it is not a Millenium Tree for many reasons. The Anixius Tree is rooted in an area devoid of any ley lines or nexus points. The total height is about 700 ft. taller than a Millenium Tree, and seems to be indestructible. It also does not give "gifts" like the legendary trees.
   Scientists and experienced mages have studied the Anixius Tree. They believe the tree is fully aware of its surrounding forest (200 mile area), and can sense destruction of it. They believe the tree has Biomancy powers, because the 200 mile area around the tree is a strong ecosystem. Also there is no evidence of any harsh nature conditions within a 5 mile radius of the tree. Scientists once accounted for a heavy snowfall and it tapered off near the 5 mile limit!

P.P.E. Channeling: The tree and the 5 mile radius is full of ambient p.p.e. that anyone can drain from. It is as if there was a nexus point at the tree. The Anixius Tree, however, can steal/redirect energy like a mystic knight! So if the tree doesn't want you to have p.p.e., then you will not get any!
Likes/Dislikes: The Anixius Tree likes anyone who is good, espicially nature enthusiests. The tree does not like Splugorthians, evil beings, and especially necromancers. It will kill any of those types the moment they step into range.
