History

In the past, Scalded Roots was known as the Spirit of Wildflower Grove. This spirit assumed the appearance of aSprigganand bravely confronted a raging wildfire. Despite its valiant efforts, the grove succumbed to the flames, leaving the spirit trapped within the spriggan's form. After its home was destroyed it was relocated to the Earthen Root Enclave.

Subsequently, the spirit found itself within a constant, tumultuous reverie of fire and tempest. The Druids aspired to eventually ease its anguish and restore its scorched essence with revitalizing waters. However, by the year2E 582,the spirit vehemently repelled anyone who ventured near. Local druids cautioned against the hasty lighting of cookfires, as the spirit's hidden realm gravitated towards the fiery memories of Scalded Root's harrowing history.

In 2E 582 the Earthen Root Enclave was attacked by the Druids of theFiresong Circle.A group of theUndauntedhelped the Stonelore Circle defend the sacred site. It is unknown whether they sought to slay Scalded Roots to obtain the boon associated with its powers or left the spirit to its own devices.
