Hidden within dense branches, the front of a carved tribal longhouse comes into focus here. The ancient grey timber creaks with life as the boughs sway in the breeze.

Within the Yfae’dren tribal longhouse
Above the small entry, the name ‘Yfae’dren’ is etched into the wood in an elegant silver scrollwork. The walls are a smooth ochre stucco decorated with hunting trophies and weapons, an ancient set of swords crossed behind a silver shield is centered among flails, cudgels, and scythes. The shield’s shining silver face is emblazoned with the broad crest of an ancient dendron pine encircled by a silver moon.  The entryway bears a tawny buckskin rug, its worn edges and thinning coat telling of its age and solid pine planks run the length of the long cabin. The smell of incense invades your senses as a ring of smoke drifts from the corner of the room.

within the Yfae’dren Tribal Longhouse
Open, undressed windows line the long wall of the open cabin. Hand-carved pine window trimmings bear fae symbols and tribal hieroglyphs of ornate design, perfectly framing a breathtaking view of the beautiful woods below. The massive pillars that come up through the floor in each corner are heavily carved in tribal patterns, the curved, lacquered surface of the jointed along the walls extend into the forest floor, holding the heavy structure aloft in the tree line.

3
an ancient circle of stones
As you step into the center of the open corridor, a wave of moonfire lights up the ritual circle. Ancient stones are set in a wide circle, here, each stone as large as a stump bears intricately carved depictions of different fae creatures. (wood nymph, sylph, what else? Five?) A stone pedestal rests on the northern point of the large central pentagram branded into the pale wood floor within the circle of stones.

Cooking, washing area
A colourful round rug covers the floor before a clay oven that rests in the corner of this room, its  round opening still bearing smoldering ashen coals from its last use.  Primitive cookware and tools are hung on the wall and opaque canisters filled with herbs and spices litter a close shelf. Large bowls of water sit nearby, and a cloth woven of orange and blue fibers has been left dangling over its edge. Behind the stove, tawny stucco walls bear the handprints of many people, some prints nearly worn away completely, only the red trace of fingertips remaining. The area is cluttered with pottery, the shelves here bear several stacks of bowls in various sizes, and reams of dried fish are hanging from the open windows and several rabbit and pheasant carcasses hang outside from the roof’s edge.

5
Rustic bunks piled with pelts of fur
On the far wall of the longhouse, three sets of bunks made of rustic antlers and polished wood are lined up in the corner, soft fur pelts in black and brown hues piled neatly on each of them. Dream catchers dangle from each of the beds, their intricate and mesmerizing webs adorned with crystals, bone, and colourful beads. Incense burns in a carved wooden stag, smoke lazily drifting from the figure’s nostrils.
