> It has many names. Some call it the Woken Dendrew, believing it to be related in some way to the deadly Gilded Dendrew plant. Others call it the Night Stalker, the Miasma, or the Dread, but the most common name for it in the shires is the Servant. You'll have heard of it - in children's songs such as Keep the Fire Burning and Servant and Master, and there are hints of it in older stories but nobody alive has seen it in the flesh. It is said that the dead ground north east of Tebay, where nothing but black Digitatus Mortus grows, was caused when the Servant last walked our lands hundreds of years ago.
