History
In the "Sleeping Widow" quest, this ancient tree had a mate and together they used to watch over The Forgotten Fields when it was a dense forest second to Greendale.
Until the Earl came and built Jarlaheim and Jorvik Stables resulting in most of the forest destruction. Continuing deforestation resulted in one of the Primeval Trees being cut down. And the remaining tree grieved dearly over it's lost until eventually the forest was no more. It's wailing heard in the wind until she couldn't grieve anymore going into hibernation, giving her the name Sleeping Widow.
