The Unimportant Yew

What is your name, tree-kin?I am Certainly Unimportant.-Jolanda Starfall to Alessandro Lucari.
The Unimportant Yew was a huge, ancient yew tree found at the top of a steep climb up the Verdis mountains of Lakay, in a small forested clearing at the base of a corrie. In summer 1513, Alessandro Lucari pretended he was speaking through the tree to fool and frighten Jolanda Starfall. However, he caused a wild magical surge by accident, Unbeknownst to him, he had just cured Lakay of lycanthropy forever, and enchanted the yew tree.
As such, anywhere on Lakay, those infected with lycanthropy felt weaker and weaker the closer they got to the tree's location, but when they touched it, they would be instantly cured of their ailments. The tree became a pilgrimage site, and a small town called Lucari sprang up near it. The town was named after a shortsword left tangled in the roots of the tree with only the word 'Lucari' visible on its blade.
