The Ancient Oak

[Greyhawk]

After having studied the old parchment for several days, Greyhawk discovered that one of the most important landmarks of the meadow had been left off. This would make it very difficult for anyone passing through the meadow to get their bearings. Reluctant to change the original, but compelled by need, Greyhawk added the Ancient Oak to the old map.
