The Willowholt

For anyone who's reading this (mostly that'd be any of my Willowholt/TM friends who may be coming in from Facebook or Twitter), welcome.

As I'm moving my presence from LJ over to Dreamwidth, that includes keeping the old posts that went up on the LJ edition of this community. I expect this to be mostly archival. A content port is underway from LJ, but the queue is large, and I don't know when the old posts will actually make it over here.

Once they do, however, if you want your old comments associated with your LJ account to show up as your Dreamwidth account, be sure to claim your LJ OpenID.

Meanwhile, any Willowholt tribe members--and hell, any former players of Two Moons in general--are welcome to post new stuff here if you want. Or not. I expect also to keep things relaxed and groovy around here. Rillwhisper's chieftain style did, after all, have a lot that came straight out of me. ;)

It may interest y'all to know that I have merged my Two Moons archive of roleplay logs in with my personal archive, so now I have one big honking archive of RP logs, right here.

This includes Willowholt logs, which run up through the destruction of the Willowholt and Rillwhisper and several other Willowholters going to live at Lostholt with Cutter's tribe.

Anybody get a yen to re-read 'em at any point, feel free! The archive's on Wordpress so you should be able to comment on any pertinent pages, aside from the logs themselves, which are still text files.

Enjoy. :)

Just as a general FYI, I have reinstated the TM logs archive which lives at http://www.twomoonsmush.org/logs. This is to be part of a slow effort on my part to get something of a TM page back online, even if it's just something that serves as an archive and nostalgia site. :)

Right now all that I've brought back online is the logs, but they should work now, and all the main logs-related links off that index page should work. Feel free to browse 'em, y'all. Also, anybody with a bit of time who wants to help me by testing the page and seeing if you can break it by futzing with the URL, that would be appreciated. That'd help me find any holes in the code I might need to patch up. Thanks in advance!

It occurs to me that if anyone wants to take over major characters at Riverholt, such as the chieftain and his sister, and perhaps also assorted members of the tribe's council (who are almost more powerful than the chieftain in terms of running the tribe), then we could do a separate RP thread involving Splinterfire coming to the Riverholt. As Splinterfire is aerialscribe's character and this would fill in important backstory for what's been going on with him, that'd be good. :) Anybody interested in doing that?

Also, anyone with a no-longer-played TM alt who might conceivably have shown up at Riverholt at some point could also jump in on such a side plot.

I myself would be interested in seeing this backstory developed a bit as it would help flesh out Riverholt, which is only a skeleton concept right now in my head. I know that it's located somewhere in the Forevergreen jungle on the northern part of Sunholt, and as per its name, it's situated very near a river. But it's a lesser tributary of the greater river called "High Ones' Tears" according to the map in the Wolfrider's Guide, and the Holt itself is quite secluded and jealously guarded from all outside detection. There is very heavy treetop coverage overhead, possibly enhanced by treeshaping, and very possibly also rockshaping that's been done to tuck the Holt in amongst suitable hillocks and cliffs around the river. It is a tribe made up of refugees from many other tribes, so the tribal customs are very much a mishmash. There are Wolfriders and elves without wolf-blood there. There are ex-Gliders and possibly even ex-Underworlders. The tribal council is a means to try to bring all the disparate elves under a cohesive leadership, though they also have a chieftain out of deference to many tribes' familiarity with such a power figure.

First and foremost, everybody say hi to ellerisse, who is yet another Former Strongbow, and who will be joining us for Sunholt adventures via her other character Pacer. :)

Secondly, my last attempt to schedule some RP failed utterly, so I'm thinking about maybe starting a play-by-LJ thread to try to get the Sunholt RP going. If we do an RP thread here, then people can add to it at their leisure without us having to worry about all logging in somewhere at the same time. Y'all please let me know your thoughts on that.

Lastly, I think I shall do a separate post detailing several characters I have initial concepts on, which I'd like to open up for adoption by anyone on the community who might want to participate in the Sunholt RP but doesn't have a character handy. See my next post for that!
