NOTE: These pages are no longer being updated, as we move all of the material over to the website. Please double-check any information you find here against the CISes on the website, which are the most up-to-date.

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.)

First Generation

	Bravestride – (????-0327) M, H=brown, E=violet. One of the wolf-blooded founders, Bravestride favored his elven side; a skilled hunter and tracker with an adventurous streak, who was also highly intelligent and quick-witted in a crisis. Recognized of Littlepaw, Knifemaker & Deertracker; father of Sweetslip, Squall, Crescent, Crest, Spearpoint, Darkcurl & Sentry. Part of Chief Burn's hunting party that was caught out on the grasslands during a summer wildfire.

Considered himself the dominant one of the three siblings and assumed he would succeed his father as chief – thought Red was too submissive, and Foxsly too flighty and unreliable. Was surprised when brother Red and the majority of the rest of the tribe supported Foxsly over him (could not comprehend that it was **because** he was too much like his father, and the tribe was tired of that).

Big, brawny Hunt-Leader, best known for being good-natured, difficult to upset or anger, fun-loving and prone to laughter, a good sport. Usually let the difficult moods of others roll right off his back. Had charisma and flair, but usually wasn't reckless. A fairly simple, straightforward elf, a little more wolfish than elfish, he always tried to balance what he saw as Easysinger's tendency to overthink things ("chew on a problem until it was damp and tasteless"). Loyal and very dependable. Chieftess Easysinger's long-time lifemate (prior to Blacksnake), but their one child, Hope, died young. Killed while hunting (see CIS for details). (art by Holly H.)
	Owl - (0410-1245) M, H=grey, E=grey. Son of Squall and Ambergold, brother of Harmony and Spider.

The oldest of the three siblings, Red was closer to his sister Foxsly than to his younger brother. Did not much take after his fiery father. Intelligent, with a wicked sense of humor; was not much of a hunter (particularly compared to his two siblings), but was very good at organization and at thinking through problems, although he was slow to make decisions. Recognized the strengths of his sister under her flighty exterior, and supported her as chief over Javelin. Saw himself in the role of advisor, and felt that Foxsly was much more likely to listen to advice and to delegate tasks she wasn't good at herself, than Javelin was.(art by Trena D.)
	Riversong - (0479-1014) F, H=brown, E=blue & green. Daughter of Raft and Dawn, sister of Tanner. Recognized of Crest, mother of Hawkcall, Lacewing, and Snaptwig; possibly shared soul-names with Chieftess Foxsly. A playful, clever elf who loved music and who had a quirky, mischievous sense of humor. "Riversong" was actually first the name of her favorite harp; she herself went by the name Fishberry for many years, and assumed the name Riversong upon the instrument's destruction in RTH 875. Died in a raging spring flood along with Harmony and Carver, only 12 years after the deaths of Foxsly and Crest. (art by Stacy L.)

	Spearpoint – (0037-1063) M, H=ruddy brown, E=blue. Son of Deertracker & Bravestride, brother of Sentry and Darkcurl. Recognized of Butterfly, father of Strand and Stormdancer. A genius crafter, Spearpoint learned to knap from Knifemaker, and improved upon her techniques. Spearpoint was mauled by a bear as a youth, and while he did not lose his sight or use of his arms, was partially crippled. He was an artisan who believed that even the most utilitarian of tools could be beautiful, yet could be fiercely traditional in other beliefs. (art by Heidi H.)

Brave, and very capable, if a little hard to swallow for the more 'easy going' and 'laid back' elements in the tribe. This does not mean that he is completely unapproachable; rather that he is on the stubborn side and very hardheaded.

Passionate about his crafts, the true great loves of his life are his harp, which he has named Heartsong, and his music, and it is with these that he bares his emotions and lets them flow freely. He is a man driven and possessed by song; he will spend hours sitting quietly and playing, lost in music. Something of a neophile, Moss has picked up a number of skills over his fairly long life, but has stuck with only those few that have really held his interest.

She's a jack of all trades and master of none she'll dabble in anything and everything that catches her curiosity. Her passion for individual crafts varies from season to season, and sometimes from week to week, and she often has a den-room of unfinished projects left in the wake of the latest inspirational falling-out. She's a woman of high passions, and has no hesitation about speaking her mind freely (and often with righteous conviction). Quick to make up her mind and quick to leap to a hasty conclusion; doesn't take well to being corrected. She can be competitive for example, there was a period of time in her youth when she was determined to be recognized as the tribe's master weaver, despite her sister Whispersilk's superior talent and experience.

Generally soft-spoken; reserves sharp commentary or reprimands to locksending. Skilled hunter, archer & bowyer. Friend of chief Windburn. Wolf-friend Thief. Played by Katy S. (Bio picture by Holly H.)
	Whispersilk – born RTH 1788. Recognized of Chief Windburn, mother of Foxtail, sister of Snowfall and Nightstorm, aunt of Longshot and Quick Fang, cousin of Rainpace and Windsong. Whispersilk is a bit scatterbrained, seemingly having a hard time focusing on one thing at a time. She flits from subject to subject when talking to people at breakneck speed. She gets very bored easily, though not in a way that a cub would, finding something to get them in trouble. She seems to always have something on her mind, even when listening to someone talk to her, her mind tends to wander at the things that she could, and should, be doing. The only times she seems to calm down enough to actually get anything done is when she's working. She is not rude, though when she's preoccupied she often answers people in a clipped, one word way, and seems to be impatient even when she's not. This could also, however, be due to the fact that she doesn't like to speak aloud a whole lot, and finds it rude to send overly much. Skilled artisan, tailor and weaver. Wolf-friend Soot. Played by Kitt M. (Bio picture by Chrissy W.)
	Windsong – born RTH 1736. Recognized of Suddendusk, mother of Crackle and Evervale, aunt of Pathmark and Willow, niece of Lynx (deceased) and True Edge. Windsong is a calm, down to earth and practical creature most of the time. She enjoys the chase a lot more than the kill, and loves a good challenge. She's not an elf of many words, but has a delightful singing voice, excellent for lulling restless cubs to sleep, easing sorrow or sharing joy.. She loves her tribe and family wholeheartedly. When angry she can be a bit reckless, but it takes a lot to anger her. Tends to take charge of situations if it looks like nobody else will. She dislikes being bored or limited too much by things she doesn't understand. Doesn't like trolls much, and really hates closed spaces. Likes to sneak up on people- mostly to prove to her victims they need to be more alert to their surroundings- goes to great efforts and is fairly skilled at moving silently. As a weak sender she's developed a system of bird-calls to replace sending when hunting with a group. Wolf-friend Half-tail. Played by Chrissy W. (Bio picture by Trena D.)
