Fallen Tree of the Priory Grounds

A thick, gnarled trunk collapsed across the Priory's courtyard, its branches splayed unevenly as they gouged furrows into the earth. The tree's bark bears deep cracks, its remnants split by the structure's catastrophic collapse, creaking slightly with the settling of debris. Its bulk provided the only mortal cover when the Priory's walls imploded in a fireball that folded back into itself, leaving the tree half-buried under plaster and wood splinters.
