The Hanging Tree

History

This tree is almost as old as the town of Wolfden. It has seen a lot of history and most it wasn't good. It saw its fair share of Aurelians hang, whip, and beat Mbali and other dark skinned ethnicities.
Over time whippings and beatings went down but the number of hangings have gone up. The pain, anger and grief built up in the tree. When Isabella died, it incorporated her coffin into its roots. It also incorporated Maude’s grief, then her anger when she was hung. Maude’s death was the last one on the Hanging Tree. The people of Wolfden were scared of her last words, though they never said so aloud.
Twenty-five years later, all that pain, anger, and grief, especially Maude’s, erupts and abducts the children of Wolfden and hangs them on its branches.
