Explorer Tom Chapelcroft is a chapel fragment that got lost on the way to being a full building and just gave up halfway through the journey. It’s sitting there like a puzzle piece from a different game, wondering why nobody has come to put it back together properly. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.
Explorer Tom Lochmaben is talking to its younger self and telling it to stop worrying about being a field system because nobody cares anyway. I bet it says, 'Just relax, let the grass grow, and ignore the hikers.' It’s got that chill vibe where it doesn't even care if you know where it is. Bring a pen pal; they'll be jealous.
Explorer Tom Elshieshields is a garden and landscape with policies from after medieval times, which sounds like a lot of words for 'nice trees.'

The church caption suggests it’s done some renovating on its soul too. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should.
