The giant tree in the Glade should have been Mama Odie’s home
I’ve always thought the giant tree in the middle of the Glade of Trust would have made much more sense as Mama Odie’s home. The Glade already has the swampy, magical bayou feeling, so a huge mystical tree would fit her perfectly. If Mama Odie lived there, the tree’s size and central placement would feel much more intentional.
As it is, the tree is so huge that it basically controls the whole biome. The Glade isn’t that large, and having such a massive fixed object in the center makes decorating around it really difficult. It also has such a strong fairy-tale look that it limits what kind of theme you can build there. A darker swamp, a New Orleans-inspired area, a witchy bayou, or a more natural Glade all have to work around that one giant tree. I don’t hate the tree itself, but if a fixed landmark is going to take up that much space, I wish it either had more flexibility or belonged to a character who fits the biome more strongly.
