Holt History




Deep in the dark forests of the still untamed world of two-moons, a tribe of Wolfriders, Gliders, Go-backs, Sun Villagers, Loners, and Wanderers have gathered and formed a home. Crystal Lake Holt. No one is sure of the true origins of Crystal Lake save one person, the elder, Tall Oak, and he does not give up his secrets easily.

Crystal Lake Holt was formed by a High One named Valek, or so Tall Oak claims. This High One bonded with the forest animals which in turn created a bond with the forest itself, like lifegiving roots to a tree. This bond was so strong that Valek found that the forest could not survive without his magical abilities, and vice-versa, so he stayed in the forest for the rest of his life (which was a LONG time!!). He was able to populate the holt as wanderers and loners ventured into his haven, this forming a tribe.
This unique, magical bond of forest and elf lessended over the years. The elves no longer depend on the forest to keep them alive as Valek had. They are free to venture out of it at will.




The Elves of Crystal Lake

The elves of Crystal Lake are mortal, though on occasion there are Immortals born due to healers and induced recognition. And of course, those who are Gliders, Sun Villagers...ect.
The elves of this holt are are like two sides of a spectrum. There are the fierce warrior elves that constantly fight to protect their home. Then there are the more gentle, sedate elves that prefer peace to war, but will support war if necessary to defend the holt. This creates some tension between the tribe, especially for those caught in the middle.


 The Humans

The humans are a persistent bunch, overly curious and extremely hostile. They continue to wander and hunt too close to the holt despite our warnings and traps. They fear us even as they kill us. They are also very war-like, and of course, believe that the forest belongs only to them. HA!! There may be possible alliances in the future between elves and humans, but it is highly doubtful...

The Climate

The weather is just like ours for the most part. in the Summer (green growing season), it is overly warm and not all that comfortable. In the Fall (dead season), it's considerably chilly and windy. In the Spring (new leaf season), it's like any other spring, the temperature could be called perfect. In the Winter (death cold season), it is almost unbearably cold. This is a time when most elves voluntarily go into wrapstuff to avoid it. The chieftess and chief, Keepers of The Way, and a few warriors bear the brunt of this season.
