"The dominant spirit, however, that haunts this enchanted region and seems to be commander-in-chief of all the powers of the air is the apparition of a figure on horseback without a head. It is said to be the ghost of a Hessian trooper ... who is anon seen by the country folk, hurrying along in the gloom of night, as if on the wings of the wind ... the ghost rides forth to the scene of battle in nightly quest of his head ... he sometimes passes along the Hollow, like a midnight blast..."
-Washington Irving, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow"
Welcome to the now once again updated Tree of the Dead. I know I've been out of comission for what seemed to be ages, but I decided to put this site back into grooming. This means it'll take a while to get everything cleaned up and fancier looking, but all in all, yours truly, that feisty German maniac, is back. Did you miss me? :)
All in all, By The Tree Of The Dead is now becoming a Hessian tribute (mainly of the Hessian in the movie, because he never gets any character development in the book), like it was always meant to be. This means that there won't be anymore recounts of the movie or book, or character descriptions of the entire cast. If you haven't seen the movie or read the book, shame on you, you should do that as soon as possible.
Coming Soon: Art by me (finally), and a rather long fanfic I wrote and finally finished.
