"Not all that many trees about here." calls your guide from a little ways back. He is perched on his horse, looking all around. Completing his vigil he turns his attention back to you. "This is probably the only tree for a few miles in any direction." he says, gesturing around.<br/><br/>"The homesteads that got attacked, they're a few miles from here as well." His hand gestures in the rough directions of the places. "I suppose this old tree was just the handiest."
