[color=green]<center>Introduction</center>
[Forest Path]
Large, moss covered trees rise high overhead as you wander deeper into the forest. As you continue, the quiet path narrows to give way to the lush and fragrant blossoms of plants that don't even seem like they're from Gaia. Songs of wild birds, lilting and beautiful, surround you as you make your way down the path to Kyendi.
As you near the village, more and more small signs of inhabitants mark the path. Here, a few hoof and paw prints and on scattered trees there are tiny painted swirls and odd designs. Finally, the sound of flowing water reaches your ears as the forest opens into a clearing and the great Kyendi tree towers before you.

{{Twilight Image}} "Oh," purrs a voice that seems to come from no where. "If you've come for the cookies, they've been eaten."

A creature lays lanquidly in the shadows near the path, its large, semi transparent wings shuffling on its dappled back. It fixes its pale silver eyes on you for a moment before yawning and laying its head on its paws.

"Those fairy flies ate them all hours ago. You'll be lucky if you find a crumb." The creature sighs, closing its eyes. "Oh.. if you're new to the place, go read The Rules on the sign at the base of the tree." It opens one eye to gaze at you once more before settling into its nap.

<center>[color=green].Rules.

1. Under no circumstances are my images to be copied, edited or redistributed in any way.
2. There will be NO reservations.
3. Please be considerate - constant PM's and nagging don't make me work any faster. ^^;
4. If you have questions or comments, please PM them to "Ullue" or they may not be answered.
5. Roleplaying is HIGHLY ENCOURAGED! But not absolutely necessary. If you don't rp your Ieldi, it will still grow {although slower than normal}, but it may become depressed or angry with you. Also, if you don't rp your Ieldi, it will never have the chance to become a member of a family or be able to gain a profession.
6. Owners will NOT try to sell their Ieldi/kyunru/kun-kun @.@; Any attempts will result in losing your (pet) and gaining some time on the Blacklist ^__~
7. Limit one Ieldi per owner. ^__^ Let's be fair, hm?.. Also I'm still undecided as to whether or not owners will keep offspring or if they must give them to new homes.
8. Co-owning is not allowed. Exceptions to this rule will be extremely rare if at all.
9. Please be respectful in the thread! I don't want to see any kind of harassment, flaming or anything like that. It really irks me and is a sure way to land your @ss on the blacklist o.o The only exception to this is in character arguing. ^^ I don't expect all the Ieldi to get along perfectly after all.

{Rules are subject to change.}

[8-14-04] Damn it all. I really hate having too many things to do. I'm trying to get the thread set up, put tags up, set up the (???), and prepare for the (???).. but I've got so many OTHER things to do >.O

AnyHOOOO. I'm trying to get euphoric and kalindara's ieldi reborn, which WILL happen in the next few days if it kills me. Then after that I'll work on tags. And after that I'll finish the thread. *glares at computer* I WILL finish this!!!!

[8-01-04] I've just started revamping the thread graphics. If you haven't noticed they're based off of one of my favorite games, Wind Waker... I was playing it the other day, and I was really amazed by how beautiful it is. So this is my tribute. Enjoy! ((I'm not completely finished with the graphics yet, so look forward to more Wind Waker goodness!!))
I should also be doing tags soon, it's really tedious work >_O...

[8-01-04] Right now I'm focused on getting the ieldi reborn and the thread set up properly. I know I still need to do certs, but one thing at a time >w<... I also seriously need to update my journal.. lol. I'm sure you're all curious about the whole house thing ^^; I'm also gonna put off redoing the thread graphics until after I've finished everything else @~@
Also, Ullue has decided that she'll help me out more, so I'm asking everyone to please send any questions or concerns to her. If you are in need of certing, please send a reminder to "Ullue" so that she can make sure I get it done. Please include your little one's b-day and parents (if any). If your kyunru has become an adolescent, please send me their favorite food and personality (two words). Thanks!!

*-Lets see... I'm sure a lot of you are wondering when the next opportunity to get a Kynedi pet will be. Hm. I'd say... it'll probably a week or two to get things up and running efficiently, so I'm thinking I'll hold a few events or auctions in about 3 weeks. The next ieldi will be given out in a story conest, which I should be starting at about the same time. So as soon as I get the exact times and all that info, I'll have Nai post it officially :3

26/09/04 - The date for the event has been set (finally). I'm hoping to get a good turn-out, but I'm not really expecting much. I hope you all prove me wrong. Anyways, not much else is going on right now, as you can all probably tell. sweatdrop

14/09/04 - I'm thinking of holding a little event sometime soon. Not a plot event or anything, just a hang out and RP some type-thing. I don't have a tenative date set yet, so keep checking back for new info. Also, if you have any suggestions for activities or anything, I'm always happy to hear your opinions. I only ask that you don't PM me your suggestions, let everyone else see and discuss them as well, I want this to be how you guys want it. 16/08/04 - I just got back from my holiday, which was rather stressful. I didn't get the FAQ done, much to my dissappointment. I might not get it done for a few days, I need to recover a bit from the crappy trip, and maybe do some other things. I'm extremely glad to be back though.
08/08/04 - I'm in the middle of writing up the FAQ right now, and I'm also getting ready for my vacation. Hopefully I'll have it finished before I leave, but you never know. I'm also pitching dirt in all the plotholes. *grabs a shovel* .

30/07/04 - The new kunkunese dictionary is up! Yay! There are new words, and some of the old ones have have had very slight changes in meaning, so go check it out. Also note: the kunkunese is a work-in-progress, it probably always will be, so if you have suggestions for words you'd like to see, or have made up some kunkunese of your own, please PM me.
29/07/04 - Well, right now I'm sorta scrambling around, just getting random things done. My big project for the moment is re-vamping the kunkunese, so hopefully I'll have the dictionary up by the end of the week. Thank you again for your patience.

<center>[color=green].The Tree.
<center>User Image</center>
Welcome to the village tree, Kyendi. This beautiful tree was brought all the way from Sabilasi in hopes that it would attract the ieldi spirits. As you all know, it worked, and so we built a home here. If you're unfamiliar with the area, take a moment and read the map below. ^^

[color=steelblue]Village Update Board:
[::Here's where announcements concerning the status of our village will go ^_~ ::]

8·1:: The tree is looking beautiful, the weather has definately helped the wild flowers spread across the grass. Even the Sabilasi melons are flourishing on the vines. Pretty soon they'll be ready for picking, just in time for growing ieldi children!
I asked Ullue about the glowing lights that've appeared, and she says they may be spirits, but are most likely a type of fae called Lumina. She says the ieldi citys were lit by them at night.

5·13:: All the nests are on their shelves now :3 That moss that has been creeping up the tree has really started to give it some color. Amazingly, the tree itself has taken a more greenish tint. Koniryu says the tree is still sad, so I planted a few flower bushes to maybe brighten it up. Also, it seems the spirits have made a mass migration to the forest here and seem to have taken a liking to us. Hopefully this means they'll start showing themselves more often.
5·12:: It's amazing, but there are actually spirits visiting now! {see Rasu's journal entry for more!}




·About the Tree:
This tree used to be inhabited by Ieldi hunters, it being rather too short in comparison to normal Ieldi trees, and therefore too close to the ground, for anyone else to dare living in it. After the Ieldi vanished, this tree grew very sad and withered almost to nothing. Its once beautiful green boughs fell away to leave only a husk of it's former self.

When I asked Koniryu to bring me a tree from Sabilasi, he told me that this one had all but volunteered. The spirits are drawn to it, feeling a bit of home in it's old body. Amazingly, it worked, the return of life to the tree is evidence of this.

·Important Places:
Phoenix Nest- The large three story building to the right is the Pheonix Nest Inn. This is where most of the gatherings will take place. It's not uncommon to find one of the pantheon here, resting or gazing out of a window.
There is a bar here, as well as a kitchen. Right now there is no one serving, so people are welcome to serve themselves to whatever they find. Four tables are arranged in a circle around a fountain in the center of the room. In one corner are a few plush couches and pillows thrown over a velvet carpet. In the other corner are several arcade games and a DDR machine.
The second story contains four large rooms and two bathrooms for those visiting the tree.
The third, smaller story belongs to the Pantheon. They sometimes rest there. It is also where they keep the relics and many other magical artifacts. Access to the third story is restricted.
Keeper's Quarters- This other large building is supported by thick beams over the village lake. Ieldi keepers are welcome to take a room here, so that they are able to stay for longer periods, and don't have to live on the precarious shelves. The actual rooms are not within the building, but within the tree itself. Koniryu has so graciously molded the inside of the tree to create a huge area for the keepers to stay. The building is just a large living room, undecorated at the moment, that's linked to the entrance to the hollowed portion of the tree. The inside of the tree is lit by Lumina as well as a dimly flourescent moss. It is also very well ventelated, so the rooms are never uncomfortable.
Once you've signed for a room, you're free to do with it as you please. It becomes a second home.
The Pond- The Tree's pond is fed by a spring directly underneath the Village, so the water is always fresh. There are also many fish that make a home in the pond, good for those birds of prey. ^.~
The Farming Terraces- The four tiered farming terrace is where ieldi will be able to grow their own food or gardens.
Storage Hut- Next to the farming terraces is a small shed where seed and gardening equipment is stored. It is only accessable by flight, so is meant for ieldi use only.

Currently growing:[color=white]
Sabilasi melons:: Apparently some dormant melon seeds came along with the tree. They've now begun to grow, and the huge, pale green melons are growing well with no need of tending. Soon the sweet fruits will be ready for picking!


·Upgrades:
Want a fence around your shelf? How about a lamp? What's that? You want walls? A house?!? {Upgrades! Coming soon!}

<center>[color=green].History of the Ieldi.


A long time ago in another world there lived a race of beings known as the Ieldi. They were a humble people, quite content to live in harmony with nature, never really concerning themselves with what lay outside their forests. The Ieldi were an avian race, born with the ability to fly, and thus their most treasured thing was their freedom. Their arboreal cities were vast and beautiful, often spanning for miles, but never coming close to the ground, which the Ieldi feared greatly...

Part I: The Sleeping Beast and the Birth of Oluine
There was an old legend that told about a great beast that slept underneath the soil. It mattered not that other creatures, such as the kyunru, lived on the ground. It was the Ieldi that this creature wanted. According to this legend, it was an Ieldi preist that trapped the evil thing deep underneath the earth, to stop it from eating the children. Because this was before the race had grown wings, and they were quite vunerable to predators. In this early time, the Ieldi were much like humans.

However, before the beast was sealed away completely, it said to the priest: "You will regret this deed. As each new birth takes it's first step upon the earth, I shall devour it's body set it's soul to the ether." With that, the creature fell into a slumber deep underground.

The priest, desperate, went immediately to the gods, telling them what happened and begging them to help his people. And so the gods said to the priest: "Fear not, for with each new birth, your people shall gain the sky, forsaking the ground and it's hidden danger. But, harken, before the next child arrives, you must all leave the ground. You must never touch it again, or our blessing will not save you from the beast that has cursed you so."

So with that, the priest returned to his home with the bittersweet news. His people welcomed him, making him a hero for ridding them of the terrible beast that had hunted them for so long. They wasted no time in moving their cities into the trees. For word of the priest's valor and its cost had spread across the land. It was difficult for them at first, being so used to living on the ground. But it took five months for the entire Ieldi populace to migrate to their new homes.

It took six months for the next Ieldi infant to be born. And indeed, the child was born with feathered wings. It was smaller and lighter than normal, and was named Oluine, their word for 'Free'.

And as the gods promised, all children born were winged, and it was not long before the entire Ieldi race took to the skies.

Part II: The Beast Awakens
A long and prosperous time followed. The Ieldi remained very shy and reclusive, too afraid to leave their forests. For even though they could fly, and had grown graceful and swift, they could not endure long periods of flight. So it was made that no one was to set foot outside of the forests. It was too dangerous. In the trees there was little chance for someone to fall to the ground, and only the Hunters lived below the undernets that prevented young Ieldi from falling whilst they learned to fly. It was just too dangerous for an Ieldi to venture out of the forest, and risk getting tired and not having a tree to rest on...

But of course.. it was bound to happen. It is untold who finally set foot upon the ground. Some say it was a child who fell while trying to sneak past the undernets to see the Hunters at work. Others say it was an Ieldi scientist born long after the Turning, who didn't believe the old legends and wanted to prove they were false. There are even other tales that it was a lone Ieldi, who left the forest in search of adventure, only to tire in mid-flight and fall to his death...

Regardless of who did it. It happened, and it took only moments. The ground opened and the beast was freed. It set upon its prey with the fury of a thousand years of smouldering hate. Their bodies fell away as the spirits were pulled from them, stuck between this world and the next. In the blink of an eye, the beast devoured all of their bodies and was forced back underground. The cities lay empty, nothing but the Ieldi had been touched.

Part III: To Live Again
The spirits of the people hovered invisibly in the air for a long time, not realizing what happened, too confused to do anything but be. Slowly there came a consiousness to them again, and they began to wander. It didn't take long after that for the first of them to contact the gods, who were mildy perplexed about their disappearance.

The kindest of the gods came to them with a smile and a gift. It was a small, delicately carved statue. She said to them that she would grant them life again through these statues and a very special ritual. So it was that slowly, with the patience of this gentle goddess, that the Ieldi were brought back into the world.

But this time of rebirth was short-lived. There came an intrusion into their world. A group of highly powerful wizards opened a Gate that bridged into the world of the Ieldi, sending the natural balance into chaos. The Wizards were not around for long, one of their own having angered the very goddess who had helped nuture the Ieldi. The once gentle goddess became death incarnate and slew many of the intruders.

As the remaining wizards retreated and began to close the Gate.. the disturbance in energies caused a sort of magical black hole effect, sucking the entire populace of spirit Ieldi through the Gate and into Gaia.

They were trapped. In this world, there wasn't enough magic to support a continous corporeal manifestation. They could barely be seen or heard, most often they were feared as evil ghosts when they showed themselves to people. And here.. away from their gods.. there was no way to summon the spirits into a body. So they were stuck...
