[Halfnote]

Mist Valley Holt is a Wolfrider based holt in the OQ style, with elves, trolls and humans. The wolfriders live in a valley and are surrounded by hills, in a thick forest. The trolls live in the mountains closeby, but a few decades back trades have been cut off when the former chief betrayed the trolls. There is no contact with the human village up north -- after the human massacre that resulted in the loss of their previous holt, the elves are weary of making any contact.

The holt's website can be found at http://www.losteuphoria.com/mistvalley. The forum is directly accessible through http://www.frozenleaves.com/mistvalley.

Mist Valley has new adoptables!

Flint OakmistTallowTalon; 9 years old, cub, son of Brazen, Rainroot and Drumbeat. Talon is a responsible cub... but still prone to cubling games and mischief. Excelling, or hard working to become so. Likes training with his sling arrow. Sometimes lonely, due to lack of agemates, but this encourages him to act more grown-up. Born outside of Recognition seems to have only made him more prone to getting sick first, but little else. Mostly considers Rainroot his father since Brazen is openly lifemated with him, but he has another in playful Drumbeat.

Plot Update:

Chieftess Halfnote has led a warrior party into the recently discovered troll tunnel, after Ripple was kidnapped by trolls. They recovered the youngster after hours, near the troll's homes, and discovered that a bunch of presumed dead elves were still alive!
They have gone missing over the years, but in fact, the trolls kept them as workers. Families reunite, but danger's lurking! The trolls are attacking the elves -- two elves are injured, and more trolls have died, but the flow of those creatures doesn't seem to end soon. Halfnote's ordered to retreat to the tunnel they came through, but then a horn sounds, and the heavy footsteps of the troll turn and fade into the opposite direction. What does that mean? Are they safe? And where are Rivulet and Vision?

~*~

The ones that stayed behind suffered, as well. Half a day after the rescue party left, Trueblade, Iceglare and Kearen discovered trolls crashing through the protective thorn wall. With Strangleweed gone with the rescue party, there's no plantshaper strong enough to reinforce it.

The trolls pulled through, and though the elves and the wolfpack are trying to head off the attack, more and more elves suffer from injuries. Taellin's bleeding heavily, Greendream has been shot and Iceglare has fallen from the tree. Greendream's clever thinking got the preserver to wrap Taellin, until one of the herbal healers can tend to her wounds. One of the trolls is fleeing, which gives only a spark of hope!

More to come...

Plot Update:

After the remnants of the horrible fight in the holt had been removed, and the once-missing elves had been thorougly welcomed back into the holt, there is a new challenge just before winter sets in: Will they have enough food and supplies to survive the winter, now there are eight more of them? Most herds have migrated south because the cold has set in already.
Halfnote and a party are off to do the unthinkeable - they are off to the human village to steal supplies but it is not going as smooth as she had hoped.

Back in the holt, the damage on the thorn wall is being investigated, several hunting parties are desperately trying to find any prey that still wanders these woods, and the former captives are trying to find their place in their old home again - Much has changed since they disappeared. And who is this strange elf Lunar, who suddenly popped up and rambles about vague people and words?

~*~

At the other side of the Whitecold Mountains, a group of elves has been snowed in. Following Chief Nettle's daughter Lunar who seemed to have a plan after their old holt was destroyed, the group came to a halt when Lunar disappeared. Chiefs Nettle and Frostbite contemplate on what to do, because food is getting scarce and the shared cave doesn't make things easier. However, Brightfire found a crack in the wall, which she has tried to investigate with her son Twilight before. Frostbite is taking a small party to check it out, and hopefully find some food.

Emotions run high when everyone is hungry; can they all keep their wits together till either they find a way out of the caves, or find some food?

We have several adoptables again on both sides of the mountain, check the first post ! :-)

Plot Update:

Mist Valley:
Winter is approaching fast, and with so many extra elves to take care of, the storage dens need to be filled. However, a lot of the herds already migrated for the winter, so Halfnote chose the most extreme option so far: She has taken five others to steal from the humans. Eat or be eaten, and wolves steal too, if they're hungry enough. So far, they haven't been spotted yet, but now, she wants to enter a building to check what's inside... In the holt, two parties have ridden out to hunt whatever they can find, while others are setting out fishing lines or get (re)acquainted with long lost and new tribesmates.

Shadow Pool:
Under the leadership of chief Frostbite, a small party investigated a small crack in the wall, surprised by the space behind it. Oakmist's wolf has bolted off into the found tunnel, and has vanished in the darkness. However, from what they can sense, the wolf is not in danger. What will they find at the end of the tunnel - food, or enemies?
Meanwhile, efforts are being made to melt the frozen snow that blocks the entrance but so far, it is just talks and a few bloody wounds. Drumbeat makes an effort to tell a story, however, Enigma interferes -- what story will young Talon hear?


We still have a couple of adoptables!

In Mist Valley:


Gale
Ripple - Female, 12 years old, Cub. Ripple is mature for her age and sometimes and already has a somewhat sarcastic kind of humor. She's very proud of her good bond with Silhouette -- being taken seriously by an adult means the world to her. Although she likes playing with Gale, she sometimes finds his games too childish and will prefer adult attention. She loves to hear stories and music, too, but is not motivated to pick up an instrument herself, much to her mother's dismay. She wants to be treated as an adult too, but to her irritation everyone still sees her as a cub. She takes after her father, which is a great companion to her with all the patience in the world to teach her whatever she wants - he spoils her.

In Shadow Pool:


Oakmist
Talon - Male, 9 years old, Cub. Talon is a responsible cub... but still prone to cubling games and mischief. Excelling, or hard working to become so. Likes training with his sling arrow. Sometimes lonely, due to lack of agemates, but this encourages him to act more grown-up. Born outside of Recognition seems to have only made him more prone to getting sick first, but little else. Mostly considers Rainroot his father since Brazen is openly lifemated with him, but he has another in playful Drumbeat.
