[QUOTE="Electric Wizard, post: 6145566, member: 83982"] 1) To pass through the forest unmolested, travelers must petition to the king of the wood. The king is a recluse, and all communications must be through the "prime minister", a cringing, apologetic toady who takes days to deliver messages and often claims to not know where the king is. Travelers are allowed to wait for an audience outside the palace walls. Some petitioners have been waiting patiently for decades, and have established a rough town. Without the king's blessing, adventurers enter the woods at their own peril. 2) Elf children are not disciplined or corrected in any way by adults, because children are considered divine. Very few live to adulthood. Children who die of misadventure are believed to be blessed because they will never feel the pains and sorrows of centuries-long lives. 3) Trees may only be cut down for seven hours of one day every twelve years, when the constellations are properly aligned. Wild, Halloween-like festivals accompany the frenzy of logging and many elves die as they stagger drunkenly into the path of falling trees. Violators who harvest trees at any other time are exiled from the forest on pain of death. [/QUOTE]
