Aloysius Soulwood

Aloysius Soulwood is a tree spirit that has advised the Renderra in their long-distant past. Some Renderra are able to locate and commune with Aloysius. Aloysius is reserved for story-line roleplay only.

History and Legends
It is said Aloysius is a Guardian of Guthix, sanctified after a couple died to protect the last, remaining Soulwood tree of Taverley near the End of the God Wars. He immortalized the tree, so that the one would exist against all odds. Aloysius' Tree is known to be found in the Deepwoods of Asgarnia, where nobody can easily reach it. The tree protects itself with roots and walls, the ultimate result being a maze of trees surrounding it.

Aloysius, as a result, is both male and female, good and evil, orderly and chaotic. Its one alignment is to protect nature, at all costs.

It is said Tyrion the Great spoke to Aloysius before crafting his family's sword, learning the locale of the Tears as well as how to craft the Renderra Blade.

Aloysius is also said to have aided Tyrion the Second in his battle with Vasco the Third, located at the Tree itself. The tree entered a rather poisoned state after, slowly begining to wither and die.

Tyrion the Third was the last to supposedly speak to the Spirit, planting the one seed pod of the tree on the Renderra Isle. The new tree grows in the center of the isle, the old one having since reached a pure state of death, according to records. However, all further attempts to speak to the spirit have failed.

It is speculated those named Tyrion by the Renderra (Named solely for being born on an Equinox), are partially the Spirit's Adoptive children. Aloysius is always closest when a Tyrion is about, and the Tyrions do seem to be more balanced with some ties to the Tree, Lerepiel, the Renderra Blade, and Vasco Marcato in their history and assumed predestiny, as a result.

Appearance
Aloysius is said to be a green, misty spirit that takes the form of a male human and female, shifting between genders at a will. It emerges from the tree it exists in.

Soulwood trees are a distinct, balanced grey with an equally balanced green. The Great Tree was known to be 50 feet tall and wide, when it was alive. The younger tree is 25 feet tall, and ten feet wide.
