Tamarisk Tree

The Tamarisk Tree (whose species is known as tamarix or salt cedar) is an enormous tree, to whom Set hid Osiris' head.

It makes its appearence in the mission A Long Way From Home. It is found in a desert oasis, and must be chopped down, in order to uncover the dead god's head. Only Laborers can kill the great tree, by chopping down its trunk, one hitpoint per chop; even if Thoth's Meteor is invoked on the tree, it will remain safe and sound, thanks to its gigantic HP, combined with its near absolute resistances.

Chiron, assisted by Norse warriors, led by a Jarl named Niordsir, and some Egyptian nomads, eventually manages to fight back against local Mummies and Gargarensis' forces, and chop down the great tree, thus securing the dead god's head.

Trivia

 * In real-life Egyptian mythology, the body of Osiris is hidden for a time in a tamarisk tree in Byblos (in modern day Lebanon, then known as Phoenicia) until it was retrieved by Isis.
 * While real-life Tamarisks grow close to the sea (even on sandy beaches, paricularly in islands), this one is found in some sort of desert oasis.
 * It is stated that it provides 20.000 Wood when chopped, but in reality, it doesn't offer any resources when chopped down.
