This is Calathea, another one of the elder tree spirits.
She controls most of the Northern tropical borders of the forest
where she renews the boundaries to keep outside visitors out.
she has her spiritual minions to do her bidding

I was watching this documentary about Mongolia, and this family was going to perform a ritual. These monks also joined in.
'Mankind plunders the earth for her treasures, thus driving the spirits away. We pray to bring them back.'

I really liked this quote. Definitely workin that into the story.
