No New Posts moss clearing.

The Moss Clearing is exactly what its name would suggest. It is a good sized clearing, about ten meters all around. It is surrounded by mainly pine trees, filling it with their pine-sap scent. The ground of the clearing is coated in thick dark green moss that is excellent to sleep on, vines, clover, ferns, and grass also popping up in the beautiful clearing, along with small yellow wild flowers here and there during spring and summer. Deer, rabbits, and other herbivores that reside in the forest can be found here during various times of the year, making it a good place to find food.

No New Posts the marsh.

The Marsh, like the Clearing, is exactly what its name suggests. The tall, white-trunk Birch trees that mostly reside here give the Marsh a rather ghostly, eerie feeling. It is said that an ancient Indian burial ground was place here, before the marsh appeared, and that the spirits of the dead are what give it its unusual feeling. With the constant water, the odor of things rotting, and the croak of frogs can often drive one a little crazy, making them actually fear the marsh. Though, if one knows how to take advantage of the area, they will find prey in abundance. Water birds, small mammals, reptiles, and even a few types of fish can be found in this water logged area.

No New Posts the great owl tree. - 1 Viewing

The Great Owl Tree is the tallest tree in the forest, and also stands directly in the middle of the forest. The Indians called it the ‘Mother Tree’, though the named changed shortly after the founding of Islara, when people told of a massive owl that called the towering Oak home. Its massive root system twists and turns both below, and above the surface of the ground. Small caves can be found where water has washed away the dirt around the, some large enough to allow a medium sized dog to crawl in. Mice, squirrels, and other rodent like creatures can easily be ground among the roots of the tree. A sense of security seems to radiate from the ancient tree, almost as if its infinite knowledge seems through, warding off any bad feelings, truly holding the title of Mother of The Forest.

No New Posts indian burial ground.

The Indian Burial Ground, an ancient site in Little Crow Forest is a large clearing, free of everything but rocks and leaves that have been blown into the area. It is said that the disturbed spirits of the dead keep new life from entering their resting place. Along with that, there is another legend that surrounds the Burial Ground; the legend of a Chief that went insane. He was a harsh man, who was not against killing another for little or no reason. The Clan’s Madge took action one day, after the Chief killed three children as a sacrifice to a creature that he claimed lived in the Burial Grounds. During these killings, he wore the rotting skin of a deer, its skull hooked over his face, its antlers carved, and then coated with the blood of those slaughtered. ‘To keep it away’ he had told them. He was killed by the Madge, and simply out of respect of the fact that he had been Chief; he was buried at the center of the Burial Grounds. After that though, strange sightings began. People talked of a six foot tall creature that looked like the carcass of a deer, with blood coating its carved antlers, its eyes black, and sunk far into its skull. Stories and sightings of this creature continued on, and are still even floating around even among the canines.

No New Posts the windigo cave.

The Wendigo Cave, a short distance from the Burial Ground, is where many of the sightings have been reported from. Even the few that had disappeared from the forest, or stumbled out looking as if they’d been attacked by something have said that the beast dragged them to the cave. The bones of animals and even the rocks themselves are said to be carved with intricate, seemingly random patterns. Even a pair of deer antlers are said to be hanging from two ledges, still attached to the skull, with what looks like old fur at the base of the wall around them. Even in the time of the Indians, it was said that the Chief’s Deer Cape was hung to the wall, somehow, stained with the blood of those slaughtered in sacrifice. The cave itself is said radiate feelings of disperse, and on the nights of the Blood Moon, stories of hearing agonized screams, and the roars of some unknown creature float around. Most will tell you to avoid the cave at all cost, but those brave enough, or stupid enough often find themselves drawn to the cave.

Board Description
little crow forest.
Little Crow Forest, once belong to a native group of Cherokee Indians, soon became a protected animal reserve in the early 1940’s. It was protected, and still technically is, for as long as Islara was around. The massive deciduous forest holds many various types of trees, from towering Oaks, to spreading pines. Streams, clearings, and old burial mounds can be found here. The forest holds a foreboding feel to it, deterring many, but drawing many others into its shadowy depths.
