Knitting in the sun at the ancestral Theacen shrine in Hazelmoss Wood

“Stop, stop before you make a spores-cursed fool of yourself. Here in the Wood we know what it means to be family, and to respect our traditions. So don’t think you can come here and make a fuss. Now get gone, I’m in the middle of my knitting.”

Emotional Ties

Creatures & places of the Isles which hold personal meaning for this character.

Fiona

A spirited young fox, with a head on her shoulders and steel in her spine. All the insecurities of youth, of course, but she’ll plot a fine course for the Asterias, and possibly the Wood itself. She’ll need that sister of hers to really see it through of course, but I’ve every confidence that the roots of the Wood run deep in them both.

Meet Fiona

Glinda

The pride of the Wood once, but even the deepest of roots may be pulled by a stronger storm. Ms. Nelinsce has left us for good I fear, but she has found her own way and for that I’m grateful. Thorn and bramble, but the force she could have been… aah, but she is content with her letters and her children, and so I must be as well.

Hazelmoss Wood

Moss and sapling, thorn and root, branch and bough. The Woods are home, and we are the Wood, and that is just how it is. You can’t escape it, no matter how hard you try or how far you run. Ancestors take me, but I tried! And if I couldn’t, then it’s best you don’t even bother.

Mycorzha

Look, I’ve seen enough over a decade at sea to know that these Isles of ours are special, and I don’t mean that in any sort of flowery, poetic way. I mean special in the same way the Wood at night will raise the spines on your neck at the same time as it’ll move you to tears, as the ocean will chill and charm you in equal measure. These Isles are powerful, old, and not to be taken lightly.

Bio

No discussion of Hazelmoss Woods or the creatures there can be complete without mention of Margerie Theacen Bristlebark, known by all within the Wood or without as Midge, Grandma, or The Old Matron. One of if not the oldest living resident of the Isles, Midge has seen, in her own words, “more seasons and hardships than I care to recount, and more’n anyone should stomach!” Widely considered by the residents of Hazelmoss as the Matriarch of the Wood, most major decisions that affect the region wind their way to Midge’s favorite rocking chair, along with those coming with gossip or seeking advice on everything from the season’s harvest to what color to wear to the next festival day. Most are shoo’d on their way with a grumpy comment on the behavior of “youngsters”, but Midge has her favorites who she takes into her care and confidences.
