Nericon is a powerful tree located in the Mardaneus Plaza district of Aleroth in 1300 AD.
Background[]
Before making his appearance in Aleroth, Nericon was rumored to be an ancient wizard king who founded Nericon's Garden on the ground previously occupied by common people's houses, which he ordered to be torn down. Nericon was known to have close ties with nature and possesses an ability to inhabit plants to intervene in the world personally.
The Dragon Knight first meets Nericon on Mardaneus Plaza when he, in form of a tree, strikes lightning on undead and an unfortunate champion Bubo who tried to pass around it. The Knight tried to communicate with the tree but it was for naught as the tree spoke only in ancient Elven language. Unable to speak with him, the Knight headed to Prancing Seahorse on Lanilor Lane to obtain a book titled Elven Alphabet in Forbidden Archives.
After gaining an ability to speak ancient elven language the Knight learned from Nericon that he is dedicated to destroy the taint of undead that plague the city. Therefore he appeared on the Mardaneus Plaza to serve as a barrier against the dead and alive. Only the Knight after stating their intention to destroy this evil was allowed to pass unharmed.
