Misc. facts about the World of Skyholt
there are in fact trolls and preservers
humans are known to exist, interaction with them is undetermines as yet
Shadows are the holt's main enemies shadows are formless creatures that attack
and bascially absorb their prey, the only known way to kill them is to use fire)
there may be another tribe out there in the Land of Shadows
the elves of Skyholt are not biologically related to any of the aminals they bond with
the tribe is matrilineal (meaning, bloodlines are traced through the mothers, and females always run the tribe)
if you adopt an elf, the character can be tweaked, and minor changes can be made, but not a complete over-haul
