-The '''Ackleberry Forest''' existed in the time before the [[Taint]], one of three Nature communes formed within the boundaries of the great forests of the [[Basin of Life|Basin]]. The denizens of Ackleberry, which consisted of [[furrikin]] and [[tae'dae]], as well as a smattering of [[aslaran]], [[loboshigaru]], and [[igasho]], worshipped [[Sister Lake]] and [[Brother Bear]], and could often be found tending to the [[Elder Honeysap]], one of the lost [[:Category:Nexuses of Power|Nexuses of Power]]. Ackleberry was led by its High Elder, [[Wenella Lakeheart]], the High Druid, [[Gib Gladheart]], High Priestess [[Itara Solwen]] of the [[Lake Wood Coven]], and [[Gadri Mossleaf]], commander of the commune's military guard. During the onset of the [[Taint Wars]], Gib Gladheart was abducted by [[Rowena Nightshade]] and [[Brennan Stormcrow]], prompting the commune of Ackleberry to remove itself from existence altogether. By means unknown, the entire forest disappeared, along with its ethereal counterpart.
+The '''Ackleberry Forest''' was one of the three great forest communes in the [[Basin of Life]]. The denizens of Ackleberry, primarily [[furrikin]] and [[tae'dae]] with a smattering of [[aslaran]], [[loboshigaru]], and [[igasho]], revered [[Lake (spirit)|Sister Lake]] and [[Bear (spirit)|Brother Bear]], and could often be found tending to the [[Elder Honeysap]], a [[Great Tree]] and [[Nexus of Power]].

+Ackleberry was led by its High Elder, [[Wenella Lakeheart]], the High Druid, [[Gib Gladheart]], High Priestess [[Itara Solwen]] of the [[Lake Wood Coven]], and [[Gadri Mossleaf]], commander of the commune's military guard.
+==History==
+*The forest is called '''Ackeleheliorna''' in pre-mortal times.
+**(Source: [https://www.lusternia.com/histories/book-of-elfenehoala/ Book of Elfenehoala] and Book of Bollikin)
+*[[Ellindel Treeheart]] and [[Glinshari Strongleaf]] share their methods for contacting the [[fae]] of the [[Ethereal Plane]], and [[Elder Honeysap]] is raised along with the other [[Great Tree]]s to speed the healing of nature.
+**(Source: [https://www.lusternia.com/histories/the-aftermath/ The Aftermath (of the Elder Wars)])
+*During the [[Taint Wars]], [[orc]]s from [[Shallach]] kidnap many, including [[Gib Gladheart]], and carry them into the [[Taint]]. [[Rowena Nightshade]] force-feeds [[taint]]ed material to Gib, transforming him into the [[Ebonglom Wyrm]]. To protect their [[Great Spirit]]s from the Taint, the circle and coven sealed the Ackleberry off from the rest of reality.
+<blockquote>"The Great Spirits told us of a way to hide our forests deep into the fabric of creation, to cast a veil between what is and what is not. It is a dangerous thing to do, to risk non-existence itself. But there was no choice, not with the Taint moving forward. So Ackleberry Forest sundered itself from reality. We cannot know if they survived or not, but the forest, both here and in the ethereal realm, is no more."
