Using the offshoot of the Leech Tree that they had been carefully tending in the Graytrem hills, the forces of Khandava and its allies were able to extend a small root through the hills, into the desert, and into the ancient temple.

Through that root, the Leech Tree has been able to leech some of the power of the recently repaired altar, allowing for the creation of a new kind of Champion. Those seeking to champion the cause of the Leech Tree in controlling the source of this ancient power should travel to the source of the root in the Graytrem hills and ENTER ROOT.

While fundamentally the same as the Champions of Mortalkind, these Champions of the Leech Tree owe their abilities to a different source. To a... tainted source.

What effect will this taint have on empowering the mighty Hammer of the Gods?
