"Few forest spirits awaken in this land, for the biting chill lulls them and keeps them slumbering. Most sleep willingly through the centuries, waiting for the arrival of a glorious dawn that will never come. As a result, the connection between forest and Elves is weaker here than in any other part of Athel Loren. Those spirits that do rouse to wakefulness seldom talk with the Elves, and instead prefer to influence their allies\u2019 thoughts and deeds through dreams.[1a] Unlike other regions of the forest, Atylwyth\u2019s defence has ever relied upon the bravery and battle-skill of the Elves alone \u2014 even the threat of extinction cannot rouse the realm\u2019s forest spirits from their torpidity. Thus do the Atylwythi practise the arts of war with an obsession that is wholly alien in other realms. Nowhere else in Athel Loren can Eternal Guard be found in such numbers as they can in the halls and holds of Lord Sceolan.[1a]"@en . . . .
