The Black Shroud - Strange Tree/Blessed Tree?

That used to be a popular grinding spot, but it's no longer used for that.

I remember someone claiming a long time ago that touching it spawns a Gigantoad.

Thank You all for the responses. It's just what I hoped for when posting about it here. It's a shame that no real use came of the trees, but I am intreged to know what causes the lights to trigger different colours. "Back in the day" so to speak; I used to level in Thanalan, and then pushed for Eft parties down near the Murmur Rills, so I don't recall seeing it before.

The quest you mention about the boy setting fire to the hedge, I don't recall that, but I don't skip text, and I do love the lore of this game. In certain quests where the Imperials are attacking "The Hedge" I always imagined some large Conjurer barrier surrounding the Black Shroud. It'd be nice if these things were carried over to 2.0. Though I'm not sure if that would happen.

Hey Punainen! =D

It's the main-scenario quest "Beckon Of The Elementals."
