Birel, Set, and Fanlomen

It is easy to see what has caused the tree to sicken. Someone has pounded several copper spikes into the tree along the trunk. Both Birel and Fanlomen are aware that copper is lethal to trees. Thankfully, it is still early enough in the process of death that removing the spikes may save the tree with some luck and the blessings of the Father. However, removing the spikes will be difficult without further damaging the tree. The life of this oak walks a tightrope, and on either side their are ill omens and bad fortune for the cemetery, and by extension the village. Magic of some sort may be the best solution, but no one that you all know of possess magic that could revivify a tree, with the possible exception of the Chief. Birel certainly didn't spot any spells to this effect in Moeller's magic books.
