Along the western edge of Crescent Lake, just a short walk north of the river that feeds it, lies the village of Linaewen Eden. Its founding residents - save for the few that came from Gardenhome (or Minas Sam-bar, as many of them call it) - aren't at all in tune with the prevailing not-cat culture; before they passed through the Gate, they originally came from an established not-cat village called Linaewen (which Linae-wen Eden is named after). The founders of Linaewen - and most of their descendants - were content to live far from the cities, preferring to stay close to nature and make the things they needed themselves rather than spend their lives scavenging for scraps.

Now, Linaewen (the village on Earth) is no more, and the survivors of its destruction have left Earth en-tirely to try and rebuild some semblance of their former home.


Hello, and welcome to the lore thread for the village of Linaewen Eden.

Overarching content warnings: War - specifically civil war - and its aftermath is probably the main one. All but a few of the characters grew up in the midst of a civil war prior to their arrival in Nestor's Wood, and the way they view and interact with the world around them will reflect this.

Other content warnings will be added to individual entries as needed.

Also, I will include a table of contents, so feel free to reply to this thread if you'd like.
