Oalian

Oalian was an awakened greatpine, an Archdruid, who inhabited the Eldeen Reaches in Greenheart for 5,000 years, acting as a teacher and leader to the druids and rangers as well as the common folk of the woods. Oalian lived among similar greatpines and the druids' treetop homes in the Towering Wood. Oalian fell into a deep slumber a few years after the end of the Last War and is now deceased.

Death
Oalian fell into a deep slumber and a large cyst grew on his trunk, high in his branches. Faelynn caused the cyst to burst open, releasing hundreds of monstrous wasps and forcing the druids to flee Greenheart. This event was seen by the Children of Winter as a sign of the impending apocalypse, and they would refer to Oalian's death as "The Second Snowfall," the first being the Day of Mourning.
