Treant Protector minimap icon.png Rooftrellen, the Treant Protector
Far to the west, in the mountains beyond the Vale of Augury, lie the remains of an ancient power, a fount of eldritch energy nestled deep in the high woods. It is said that the things that grow here, grow strangely. To the forces of nature this is a sacred place, made to stay hidden and unknown. Many are the traps and dangers of this land--all-consuming grasses and crossbred fauna and poisonous flowers--but none are so fierce as the mighty Treant Protectors. These ageless, titanic beings, charged with keeping the peace in this dangerous land, ensure that none within encroach without reason, and none without poach their secrets. For time untold they tended to their holy ground, uninterrupted, only dimly aware of the changing world beyond. Yet inevitably the wider world grew aware of this untamed land, and with each passing winter the outsiders grew bolder. Soon they arrived with tools to cut and with flames to burn, and often the Treants would ponder: who are these fragile, industrious creatures? What now had become of the wild, green world? There came and went an age of questions and of doubts, a thousand summers of long traditions set to scrutiny, while more and more the outsiders died and fed their earth. When all that bloomed had finally finished their stay, curiosity had overcome caution. It was decided: a lone Protector would be sent into the wider world, and instructed to wander until the glaciers arose once more, to observe the changing land and its creatures, and to discover what unknown dangers could threaten their sacred ground.

Rooftrellen is the only member of the Treant Protectors known by name. Like the others of his race, he is long lived, and time appears to pass quickly for him. Being the only Protector to ever leave their homeland, Rooftrellen is confounded by gold and items, objects he has never before seen.[1][2] Like other Protectors, Rooftrellen fears heroes who wield axes and fire.[3][4]

On his forehead, Rooftrellen wears a special runestone. What this signifies is unknown. Whether or not the Treant Protectors are related to Nature's Prophet minimap icon.png Nature's Prophet's treants is also unknown. Rooftrellen can summon the Spirit of Nature to release its power, causing an Overgrowth of vines and roots. It is unknown whether this ability is unique to him, or available to all Protectors.[5] If Rooftrellen were to fall in battle, a seedling will sprout from his body, grow into a second Protector, and continue his mission.[6]

It is likely that the city of Augury Bay was scouted out by Rooftrellen, because it was soon attacked by an army of "walking trees". Given geographical closeness and Rizzrack's account of the attack, these trees strongly resemble the Treant Protectors.[7] For this reason, Rooftrellen has a natural rivalry with Timbersaw minimap icon.png Timbersaw.

Rooftrellen has been to Roseleaf, where he accomplished a great deed. He has since left, however, and Mireska regards his leaving as a mistake.[8][9]

Rooftrellen is unusually hardy, providing a sanctuary for stuntwood sproutlings, a parasitic plant that otherwise kills most trees.[10]
