There once was a Legend about a tyrant so powerful, that the world was under his feet.  The world was helpless agaisnt him, but chaos gives birth to powerful heroes. Together, the heroes of all races banded agaisnt the tyrant, and defeated him once and for all. The world ushered in an era of "peace," and many years later, such events could only be heard of in story books or from bards. Unbeknownst to everyone, a certain being was resurrected, not as a humanoid, but a plant. Arloum, an ancient entity, wanted to experience life once again. This time, he was going to leave no weaknesses for himself.  That was the plan, at least. But plans can't keep up with changes.
