Please click on any highlighted names for an individual page about the ancestor, containing links to art of them, or to stories in which they appear. Information about tribal ancestors is still under development; while some individual deceased characters (particularly the past chiefs of the tribe) will have character information sheets (CISs) in the club's webbase, many ancestors won't be detailed beyond their names, family relationships, and salient details.

A note on the generations...

Elven genealogy poses a remarkable problem: with an elf's lengthy lifespan, several generations can be alive at once (and thus, Recognizing across generational lines). And where human fertility is generally limited to a twenty or thirty year span, a female elf can be fertile for centuries.

For our purposes, the River Twine Holt recognizes "generation" as based on the mother's birth. For example, all children born of second generation mothers are considered third generation children, even if the fathers of those children are themselves of the first, second, or third generation.

It is also assumed that the females of the first and second generation may have used healing magic to spark their remarkable fecundity. (In fact, first generation healer Feverease is well remembered in the tribe's verbal history for having assisted in "sparking" many pregnancies among the first and second generations of the tribe.)

For detailed family-tree information, please visit the River Twine Holt Geneaology page.

Seventh Generation

Whitestag - (1597-1986) M, H=blond, E=blue. Son of True Edge and Snowfall, brother of Quick Fang. A "Golden-Child" who possessed all of the best qualities of both his parents. A bit more diplomatic and tactful than his father, thanks to the calm, cool nature of his mother. Whitestag had his father's determination, loyalty, dependability, and thick skin. A born problem-solver, he relied mainly on his cognitive skills rather than instinct. An enthusiastic fighter as well as a lover. Had a fondness for feathers. Very close to sister Quick Fang, often a tempering influence on her. Was in a three-mating with Fletcher and Flash. Killed in a fall from cliffs while hunting mountain goats. (art by Cindy P.)
