Seaside Holt
The Elves have never seen Humans. They live in a
cliffside that Rock Shapers have shaped out caves. In the Grasslands close to
their caves they have learned to Farm. No current Elf has ever seen a
Preserver, and they have no clue of the Other Elves or Trolls.
A group of Elves traveled much like Gypsies for nine and a half centuries. Some decide to settle and founded Seaside Holt. In the cliffs near the beach they formed cave-like dens to live and store things in. They quickly set up fishing patterns, and learned to hunt and farm in their new settlement.
Seaside Holt Elves live much like any coastal, primitive tribe of people. They subside on many marine creatures and foods, supplemented with farming and minor hunting. They have weaving of plant fibers, and tanning leather for clothes. They use pretty stones, shells and even bone for decorating. They also have pottery and basket weaving. Seaside has many Ceremonies as well.
Here's the Timeline for Seaside Holt, this way you might have an idea of where the stories fall.
*NOTE*
if it says "born to" those two elves Lifemated from the Recognition.
if it says "born of" then those two hated each other, had other Lifemate, or something to cause them not to Lifemate from the Recognition.
if it says "born to" and there's only one name, then the parents aren't mated.
