Whispers in the Pines (faction gossip)

• Ylva and Irina used to be so close growing up, but it seems like Irina has been avoiding Ylva at all costs lately...

• Nyla is hitting the gym often seen doing a lot of physical labor in an effort to build up muscle

• Englewood has been hanging out a lot near Ruven Lake. What's he up to?

General Information

• The old Crowns, Zeliel and Khayl, passed on within the past 1.5 years. Irina immediately took the mantle of Crown following their death, and has become one of the youngest Crowns of Timberhold.

• Ylva's origins were found to be falsified, having been stolen by the old Thorns Thiago and Ilse from her true home. Irina sentenced them to exile for their misdeeds, and the Thorn positions have been left emptied since Irina rose to power.

• Plaisance, Cullen's mother, was accused of poisoning her son as he healed from the bear attack he had defended Irina from. A trial was held and Plaisance was shown mercy, her punishment coming in the form of being stripped of her previous rank of a Birch rather than facing exile.

• There has been several signs of... something within the Wilds, thought to be sent by Avros. A swarm of butterflies on and around the Old Oak, goldenrod visible around every turn within the Wilds, a hoard of ravens near Stormcry Hills. Timbers have been trying to find the meaning behind these signs, and what their God is trying to tell them.

Exiles, Deceased, & Drifters

Exiles refer to active (or once active) characters that have been exiled from the Wilds as a form of punishment for their crimes.
Deaths refer to characters that were once of Timberhold that have been lost to the Silence, whether they passed from natural causes, unexplained divine/magical interference, the fangs of another predator/Valleyfolk, or were executed.
Drifters refer to characters that have left Timberhold on good terms. These can refer to still active characters that parted ways with Timberhold, characters that retired from Timberhold with a canon reason, or characters that went missing. They generally are not seen as tainted as outsiders, but are still likely to face the Cleansing Trials should they return to purge any impurities. The term Drifter is often given to these characters, as they are considered to be like leaves originating from the trees of the Wilds and are following the winds, drifting along them to whatever their future holds.

Background characters (those that are a part of a character's backstory) will not be included on these lists.

• EXILES

  • • None currently.

• DEATHS

  • • Nash - Sapling Willow

      • On an outing to gather more medicinal herbs during the Fallow Ensemble, Nash decided to use the frozen over Ruven's Rest to cut down on travel time. As he traveled across the ice, cracks began to form before a piece of the ice suddenly wavered below his paws and tilted, sending the Timber into the freezing water before settling back into its original position, trapping the Willow below the ice and leading to his untimely demise.

• DRIFTERS

  • • Quinnlan - Root Birch

      • Quinnlan leaves Timberhold on a calling from Avros, following recurrent dreams calling for her to find something beyond the Wilds.

    • Riley - Sapling

      • Riley had gone missing one night, no trace of trail or direction she went in, and has not been seen since.

    • Lazuli - Sapling

      • Lazuli left one night, presumably on an investigation following the earthquake, but never returned to the Heartwood.

    • Leelan - Sapling

      • Leelan left on his own to investigate following the earthquake, but where he walked a fog enveloped his path, and he never returned.
