The clearing where we bury the unbelievers and let the forest thrive on the nutrients released from their rotting carcasses.

Well, that's what we do here at least.

Did you read this line in a book or something?

Not that I am aware of, i think i was just wanderthinking. That has to be a German compound noun ha

…the soil? That’s where seeds/spores are planted and subsequently grow into trees, and where they get their nutrients from.

Unless you’re talking about the seeds themselves, which are kind of a “shell” from which they literally branch out, depending on the species.

I kinda want to put it in a D&D campaign. Maybe an evil druid makes a magical device that births an army of evil treants or redcaps or something.

You're not wrong.

Official Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition artwork of a Redcap.

Definitely one of the scarier creatures in D&D, at least accounting for hit dice.
