Great Forest Spirit Generator

This is the center of your campaign. All characters want to find this thing, either to kill it or to ask a favor from it or to protect it from something else.

It is a god of life and of death. Its soul is this Forest and its flesh its manifestation. During the day, the Great Forest Spirit is a creature that can be touched and, some say, even killed. At night, it is a Walker, the unseen and formless danger under the boughs, the strange sounds dancing on strange winds.
