The Tree - A Nature for Wanderhome

The Tree is a mysterious location, full of the weight of the past and its trauma.  It is a grim and misty place, and the Tree itself dominates both literally and emotionally.  The bark is heavy and cold and smooth, and difficult to climb.  From the trunk project the handles of axes, swords, saws, and knives, their blades swallowed ages ago by the knotted wood.

 And every one of them had failed in its purpose.  The Tree still stands.
