Guild Wars 2

Back in Guildwars: Nightfall we had a quest called Ancestor Tree. The literal description of these trees are: The Ancestor Trees are venerated trees that is considered sacred by Elonian centaurs. An Ancestor Tree can be found towards the center of the west side of Turai’s Procession. Mirza Veldrunner, the leader of the last band of free Centaurs, can be found near it. Some scholars believe that the fruit of these trees were seen as divine and as a way to pass down spiritual wisdom from one generation to the next.
Could these centaurs be gathering around another Pale Tree perhaps?

This quest takes place in Kourna, which was about 2 regions away from Kralkatorrik, first the crystal desert with Glint’s lair, then theres the desolation and then we’re finally in kourna.
Having the story go on like this gives the devs a reason as to why Malyck has disappeared for all this time. Either Kralkatorrik has been active and attacking the Pale Tree (or they could go wild with this idea and bring back Palawa Joko, the undead lich lord).

I do hate to be the killjoy here, but we actually see that tree (right on that page, in fact), and it looks nothing like a Pale Tree- or a blighting tree, for that matter. Nor has it grown nearly as fast. It does, however, look like a somewhat bigger specimen of a species of tree we see all over Kourna- Mebahya trees, if that link you provided is to be believed.

As for Malyck- what we hear from him is that his tree is at the end of the river his pod ended up in. While it is a little unclear where exactly that is, it seems most reasonable for it to be somewhere west, or south, of Brisban, and practically impossible for it to be in Kourna.

Isn’t there an ancestor tree in Dry Top?

No, but the centaurs do have their village centered around a tree.
