[Reshalia Trade Road, Woods]
Suckers have sprung up all around the stump of a tree, roughly hewn with an axe a year or two ago. In time the suckers will grow up into a ring of young trees, with the father stump decaying into a punky mound in the center. Insects swarm over the rotting wood, some eating it, some making their home in it, and others preying upon the rest. You also see a shady elm tree.
Obvious paths: northeast, southwest.

A house has been built among the sturdy limbs of the elm tree.
Apparently no one lives here and yet I cannot claim it. Also a bunch of abandoned homes in same area that cannot be claimed.
A ship's rat scurries into view.
The ship's rat tries to tend its wounds.
