Discovery of the Gulthias Tree
Discovery, ExplorationThe tree, called the Gulthias Tree, was shepherded by a twisted druid, Belak the Outcast. He was drawn to the buried citadel in 1480 DR, following stories of oddly enchanted fruit to their source. The druid found an old fortress that had been swallowed up by the earth in some sort of magically invoked devastation. With the previous inhabitants long dispersed, vile and opportunistic creatures common to lightless dungeons infested the subterranean ruins. At the core of the old fortress, Belak stumbled upon the Twilight Grove. He discovered at the grove’s heart the Gulthias Tree, which sprouted from a wooden stake that was used to slay an ancient vampire.

Betrayal of Elturel
Disaster / DestructionIn the Year of Three Ships Sailing, 1492 DR, Thavius's infernal contract with Zariel was voided by the Party of the Damned through the release of Gulthias from his prison within the Gulthias Tree. The contract's other expiration point was set to occur in 1494 DR (50 years after Thavius Kreeg's contract with Zariel). Gulithias' emergence from imprisonment within the Gulthias Tree coincidide with the Companion's morphing into a black orb that tore the whole of Elturel and its populace from the Material Plane and spirited it away to Avernus, first of the Nine Hells. The only thing left in a crater where Elturel once stood was an Infernal Puzzle Box.
