The group might find that the tree is simply just a tree ... well, mostly.
1) If the team manage to linger around its trunk without being swatted away and flung into the next hedge over, they might feel thoughts being pushed against their consciousness. These thoughts generally brand the Orbers as intruders; they aren't wanted, this is their castle, and the Master doesn't like visitors, so it's up to the entities on the grounds to protect their Master and his interests.
2) Asking about the country's people sleeping won't garner any results — well, except for another swatting branch at the face. The tree doesn't know about the country's people and would really like you to leave now.
3) As a result there are no direct answers to the orb's location on or around the tree, however —
4) If they continue to do a little snooping, they might find another entrance from this room that leads them back into the castle, and towards a set of long-abandoned stairs (covered in a layer of thick dust) that ends with a closed door.
Opening the door will lead them into a boudoir that might have once belonged to a woman with a title and some authority. Expensive jewelry lies neglected on the vanity, and an old novel (a romance) is left on the bedside table with a pair of ornate spectacles. This room, too, is covered in thick dust — noticeably thicker than anywhere else in the castle. It's clear to the team that it's been many, many years since anyone has ventured to this space.
5) No indication of any lost country person will be found.
