Carvings of Nith'wiel

[Shadowblade225]

*Among your various travels in places of nature, particularly the high forest, and the woods around Mistone you see various carvings here or there in sturdy trees of various wood types.  The carvings are detailed and rather professional with the shapes clearly evident.  In these carvings you see various images depicting all sorts of deeds.  Mostly hunting however.  These carvings depict an elvin hunter holding either a long-bow, a spear usually.*

*one carving near the high forest depicts this elvin warrior with his spear over his head in triumph with what looks like a fallen prey - a deer or bird below his feet*

*another carving in a separate section of the high forest, close to harmoney grove depicts this elvin hunter along side what looks like fallingleaves and the symbol of Kithairein*

*yet another carving, this one closer to Hlint near lake Alon depicts the elvin hunter holding his head in his hands, an ear nearby as a human figure seems to be speaking, you sense it's frustration at not being able to understand the humans words- a language barrier perhaps*

*Another carving deep within the frozen plains of barbarian island depicts this elf, with fur around him standing next to a being with the lower torso of a lion and the upper torso of a man.  Both are standing triumphent holding their spears overhead with what looks like a fallen bear beneath them.  Looks like the lion creature made the kill.  Underneath the carving is the name Mukanda*

*As a passer by when traveling through the Sielwoods you notice an arrow stuck in a tree.  You think nothing of it until you see other arrows, one in each tree almost as if a deliberate path had been made.  The final tree in the sequence of arrowed trees depicts an elf with a hammer crafting what looks like arrow tips, with a wolf at his side*

*Another carving can be seen as you pass deep within the woods of the high forest. Near a gentle stream that seems quite inviting along with the shade offered by the trees of the forest ceiling bringing with them a gentle breeze. The carving is in a large thick tree reaching up above most other trees in this forest canopy.  It depicts what looks like to you a bear, a boar, and an elf stalking something.  In the foreground depicts a tall tree.  In elvin are the words written underneath "Success by the runner".*

*A carving can be seen a bit north of Harmony Grove on a great oak tree.  The depth of the carving on the tree is shallow enough to not hurt the wood yet deep enough to be easily read by those who pass by.  It depicts an elvin woman with long hair and a dove on her shoulder and another that depicts an elvin male with equally long hair, a spear in his left hand, a bow strapped to his back looking up into a starry sky.  The carving is skilled enough to make out these details.*

*If the old carvings are still seen among the trees in Whitehorn Forest, they are slightly obscured following several years of tree growth. This is despite the current plight and colder temperatures. One carving stands out as being perhaps more recent, though certaintly not newer than a year or two to the expert eye - if it were even seen. In a great oak tree, it depicts what almost looks like a dragon standing next to a dead tree. For those skilled in elven speech are the words:
  "Wailanir eo anira laneala"  
  With the rate of tree growth, these words seemed to have been carved well after the sketchings and as such, it may appear that the one who sketched and the one who wrote were not the same person. It's clear they understood each other.*
