The Enchanted Hollow
This HOS Realm is the home of all our 'Magical Folk', being faeries,
elves, unicorns, ogres, goblins, dragons, etc. The Ruler here is Queen
Olette Golfrost (Queen of The Faeries). Anything can happen in an
enchanted forest, all adventures can be sought out if you are game. You
can be part of the enchanted forest as in a animal or creature, monster,
witch, the choice is yours. Or you can make up your roleplays and use
the House of Solomon magical forest as a setting.
'In folklore and fantasy, an enchanted forest is a forest under, or
containing, enchantments. Such forests are described in the oldest
folklore from regions where forests are common, and occur throughout the
centuries to modern works of fantasy. They represent places unknown to
the characters, and situations of liminality and transformation. The
forest can feature as a place of threatening danger, or one of refuge,
or a chance at adventure.'
'The danger of the folkloric forest is an opportunity for the heroes of
legend. Among the oldest of all recorded tales, the Sumerian Epic of
Gilgamesh recounts how the heroes Gilgamesh and Enkidu traveled to the
Cedar Forest to fight the monsters there and be the first to cut down
its trees. In Norse myth and legend, Myrkviðr (or Mirkwood) was dark and
dangerous forest that separated various lands; heroes and even gods had
to traverse it with difficulty.
Romans referred to the Hercynian Forest, in Germania, as an enchanted
place; though most references in their works are to geography, Julius
Caesar mentioned unicorns said to live there, and Pliny the Elder, birds
with feathers that glowed.'
