Hex Location: Balete of the Forgotten Datus

Not mine. Owned by Lakad Pilipinas

A balete (banyan) tree, its strangler roots enclosing an area 25 feet across. Its leaves and roots tower above, forming a canopy that can shield from sun and rain. (The latter less so.) The area covered by the balete is sacred ground - all Utang (Prayer) checks made within the area have their DCs reduced by 5 because of this. 

Long-dead datus have been meticulously exhumed, washed, wrapped in silk, and placed in large porcelain jars along with their jewelry and possessions. The jars were then "reburied" by leaving it under the younger strangling roots for the balete to slowly subsume. Now, the people who practiced this tradition are gone and the deeds of their once-glorious datus have long been forgotten. But the balete remains, as do three of the jars. If the jars can somehow be unrooted, treat the entirety as CR 4 Treasure Hoard. (Roll only on Gems or Art Objects, and Magic Items columns.)

(If used as part of COCKAMANIA:  The datus remember an earlier form of the cock festival and might speak of it, assuming of course that the dead are allowed to speak.)
