A glowing full moon,
brighter then the sun at noon,
lights the forest in the still of night

A creature stirring,
a graceful pounce,
a spark diminished,
in the Midnight Hour




See you in the forest!

Raven, the swift Deer

Gather around, little fawns. It's time for a story, one that is about a most shy but brave deer. This deer is called Raven, a buck deer whom roams the forest unseen. You have never heard of him? Well, maybe thats because he is a very shy yet mighty deer. Now, make yourself comfortable and tell me your names.


It all began when the darkness of night rolled over the forest. A very silent, peaceful time of the day. But not that night. The Twin Gods were marveling over a young buck they had found. The buck was the colour white, almost brighter then the stars.

The Twin Gods awoke to here a loud call. The buck was awake, and was white and black. "How is this possible?'' asked one of the Gods. The other God shook his head. "I have no clue, as the deer are never up at night." he told his confused brother. The young buck suddenly formed into a raven, which flew off. And thats how he earned his name....Raven.


Many of the Forest Folk claim to have seen Raven, yet I doubt it. The only deer who have truly ever seen raven are Tawny and Oden, two of the many "adopted" fawns of Raven. They are the only ones whom remember him, even though Tawny is blind and Oden is deaf.

Raven only appears as the bird itself these days, yet he is rarely seen. And perhaps you'll meet him in the forest some day, just as Tawny and Oden would have.

After a successful hunt and a fulfilling meal, the pair settle down around a warm fire and break out their favorite instruments for a fireside story. Retelling the day's exploits through each note played, the fire before them wreathing into pictoglyph representations of the action. Their flames selves chase the gemsbok across the path of the milky way as the high spirited song plays!

I've had a succesful month of drawing fanart for Tale of Tales. I havn't posted any though. I thought a couple of tweaks would help them look better Some people havn't got into fanart this year. They think they can't draw as good as others. But you can! Everyone has their own unique ways of drawing.
If you are one of these people, you just need encouragement. A trip to an art gallery or talking to a local
artist can help.


Drawing fanart isn't always as simple as it looks. For example, your drawing a picture of Ginger from The Path. Think about what she looks like. Whats her hair color? What is she wearing? What is her hairstyle? You need to think about what the character looks like and how tall they are. If you were drawing a fawn from The Endless Forest you would need to make sure they looked like a fawn and were in a good position for their mood. A angry fawn might moo loudly to show it's mad, while a happy fawn may dance. It depends on your characters mood on what it's doing.


I hope this helped you with your fanart! Now get out there and be creative!

I know how some of you are new or arn't so sure about somethings on this game. And if you think im a moderater, im not. Im just a normal average player that knows alot about the game ^-^ Anyways, most myths were hard to solve. Alot of people were putting questions randomly on the forum asking for help. It's okay to do that! Now lets get onto our myths.


I noticed that some people don't know how to activate their accounts. Most people would look on the website for anything that says ''Activate Account''. What I mean about this is getting their account to work in the game. Honestly, it's not that hard. You need to get onto the game and click the small red button. This button will turn green when you activate your account on the game. Click ''options''. I might be wrong with the options thing, because I havn't had to log in the game for along time! I just leave my account on it and don't log out, so im not sure if its the right button. But it should be. Anyways, type in your username and password and you'll have it activated!


You know how when you first join the game your a fawn? Well, im pretty sure every one knows about this but some newbies may not understand. You get to be a fawn for 1 month in the forest. After a month, when you get on the game you will notice you are an adult deer. If you want to play as a fawn endlessly in the forest, go to options then check the box that says ''Play as fawn''.


Most people here have named deer and can cast spells on one another. Unnamed deer can't cast magic, and if a spell is casted on them, it will wear off shortly. But when unnamed deer get a name, it's most likely that they don't know how to earn or cast spells. To get a coat spell, lie down by a sleeping deer to keep him company. To earn a mask spell, eat some mushrooms from a tree. And to get a antler spell, rub againest a pine tree and a pinecone will fall out. Eat the pinecone and you will notice a antler spell.

The Playground



More visitors? I thought those other fawns would be my last. Oh well, things don't always go the way that they are planned. Last time I told the tale of The Hollow Tree, so i'll be needing a new one. How bout The Playground? What? Your not familiar with what The Playground is? Why, it is the most fun place in the forest. Apparently, things called humans created it. I wonder if such things exist. Anyways, the thing they made was called a mine. There was golden stones in the mine, and they turned the stones into thousands of little circles. Those humans must have been squirrel brained to do that. I won't make this tale long, but perhaps I could learn your names first?



Over time, the mine grew old and dirty, leaving only big stones in its way. The humans went away to another forest to create a new mine. At the time of the humans discovery, all deer were scared. Not even the bravest of deer would walk out of it's home to nibble on some grass. Why do you ask about Pine, little one? He was not there at that time, for he was long gone. One day, the loud noise of huge monsters and rippling blades stopped. For once, silence and peace came to the forest again. All the deer ventured out in one big group to see if the humans were gone. Luckily, not a single human was in sight. Everyone rejoyced and ate every strip of grass they could. They plucked mushrooms off trees and drank the pure water of the pond and De Drinkplats. But three young deer were more interested in the mine then the humans fleeing. They went over to the mine to see nothing but huge stones in their way. They hopped around the area, leaping onto any rock in their path. They came back to the others telling them of the wonderous site.

The Hollow Tree




Hello, little fawns. I guess I have some vistitors tonight, and thats always a good thing. Now, im assuming you want a story. Which one tonight? A spooky one, a happy one, a sad one. Oh how can we ever choose? Hmm....... Ah yes! The tale of The Hollow Tree or however you would like to call it. That tale is probably the only Forest Folktale that is sutiable for fawns, though you may consider the story of De Drinkplats. Lets begin our tale and perhaps I can learn your names along the way.


Our tale begins here, in the Endless Forest, with a brave deer named Pine. Pine was a muscular deer and was respected among all others. What made him so brave and tough? Well, it is said that Pine was given some power from the Twin Gods. Ha! Believe that, a deer that is the only one that gets some power like that from the Twin Gods. The Twin Gods would never allow that, they like it to be fair. Anyways, this power was stronger then any other. With this power, no harm would come to him nor the forest. So many deer respected him for this, but he had something missing in his life. I see your eyes widen, little fawns. Is it true that such a deer would be missing something? It is true. He was missing half of his heart, the piece that would give him love and kindness.



Now, the Twin Gods never told him that, for they thought he would loose his faith in the forest and stop protecting it. Pine thought he had all his heart together, but you should not always think what you have not heard or seen. But eventually, the Twin Gods asked him over for a talk. They told him, and he erupted in anger. Pine quickly made it wear off, trying to look happy. The Twin Gods told him the only way to get the piece of the heart was to do a good deed for someone. Was protecting the forest not enough?

Im actully not very happy today. I have to babysit 3 fawns, and that's not the bad part. The bad part is, the time i have to babysit is the same time as the locking antlers compition! Me and my friend Sammy were gonna go until Walter asked me to babysit his little cousins! This is horrible! The next one is March were the males show off their new coats and antlers in the battle. But this one is extra special because it is winter and they don't really do the fight in winter. So i guess i just gave the Tree Office 7 leafs in trade for the spots. Those were from my bank account! I could of bought myself a new mask or spell. But instead i wasted it on seats! Thanks Walter. Thanks alot.


The babysitting went horrible! Lenny, one of the fawns, wanted roasted hazel nuts which we could only get at the Cliff Deer restaurant. So we went there. It was busy. Many deer were there. Some were talking about the compition. Upon them i saw Sammy, Nanook, Starry and James. I called to them. ''Hey guys! Have a spot for me?'' i called. They didn't reply. Nanook noticed me though and came over to me and said ''Well, we were saving this spot for Walter but here.'' She gave me a rock that said Seat 5. We were all going to be in the front row together! Walter soon walked into the giant rock restaurant. ''Hey Nanook! What's up?'' he asked. ''Oh hey Walter! I was wondering when you were going to come.'' she said.

Hehe. Walter has to take care of his cousins now. And i get the spot! Right now me and my friends are all watching it. Sammy is sitting beside me. James is eating poppy seeds. Starry my little fawn brother had to go to the washroom and he can't go alone. So Nanook had to take him to the bucks lue. And my other friend Nutik is fighting up there! It's awesome!

Im at home now. My mom said we get to all have a sleepover. Me, Starry, Nanook, James and Sammy. We are settling down for bed time. I will write tommorow.

I woke up this morning and all i heard was James and Starry talking right over me. It was very innoying. Of course Nanook had to be nearby. So i started spread my ears and tried to hear her eating berries of the bush. Today i heard nothing. So i got turned into the ''Worry King'' as my brother would say. So i fell back asleep. Lets try to ignore the voices, please.


I started dreaming about the sweet summer grass. But it's still winter. Right now my brain is repeating the word: ''Winter. Winter winter winter.'' Im mean how innoying is that? Anyways, i got up and ran over to James and Starry who were looking for scraps in the snow. The scraps of dead grass and dead leafs are disgusting. But it's all for our growth and survival. I started searching with them. We were getting close to scrap central: The pond. Why the pond? Many deer visit there and they leave behind scraps. James was digging up the snow with his antlers. So i did too. A walked into a log will doing it. Im still recovering.

I have to stop writing because it's time for me to go to bed in the lovely snow. NOT! Goodbye for now diary.
