"I would be honored to." The catwoman said as she discreetly handed him a pouch of money. Soon after she began to lead Halamar towards the side of the church. On the walls were portraits of a massive tree-like figure, its arms stretched outward against what looked like a dragon breathing fire.
"L'aeldrei is the great ent that watches over the forest. For over five thousand years, he has protected us from the outside with his incredible magic. In eons past he was but a mere seedling, barely an inch tall and withered from lack of water. But with love and guidance from ancient caretakers of the island, L'aeldrei grew into the god he is now. He returned the kindness given to him and his kind by protecting us from outside forces that wish us harm."
She passed by a window that wasn't stained with the tree's portrait and pointed out. In the distance was what appeared to be a large oak tree, standing above the horizon. Although it didn't move, it's massive branches stretched outward in all directions as its leaves blocked part of the sunlight.
"Followers of L'aeldrei live by one simple rule- treat others as you would want to be treated, for only kindness and generosity can grow a beautiful forest. Those that have committed minor crimes come to us to be absolved of their sins, which we generally do. We do not expect payments or even worship. Simple acknowledgement that a better life can be achieved by being good to one another is all we ask."
OOC: To be as blunt as possible, giant talking tree says Be Excellent To Each Other.

The woman turned back to Halamar.
"I understand the mainlanders don't know of L'aeldrei. He never leaves the island, and would rather focus his powers towards protecting only this island."
