🌿The Woodland Realm? 🌿

The Woodland Realm is a mythic land atwixt two rivers, where ancient guardians walk unseen paths and the forest remembers its own stories. Begin your journey below and meet the creatures who keep the Realm in balance.

🌿What Is the Woodland Realm? 🌿

 The Woodland Realm is a mythic land atwixt two rivers — a place where British wildlife and folklore entwine into a living story.   Here, every creature holds a purpose, every path remembers its travellers, and every shadow carries the whisper of an older world.  
This Realm is shaped by its guardians: the foxes who command the compass, the watchers of sky and hedge, the wardens of river and root.   Together they keep the land in balance, holding back the Hollowing — the slow forgetting that creeps at the edges of all wild places.  
To step into the Woodland Realm is to enter a story still unfolding, one revealed through artwork, lore, and the quiet rituals of the forest.

🐾 Meet the Guardians Who Guard the Realm 🐾

Each guardian belongs to a mythic faction, bound by duty and lore:  

🦊 Four Foxes of the Compass — North, East, South, and West. These are the directional sentinels who shape the Realm’s boundaries and memory.  🌬️ Keepers of the Ancient Skies — Winged watchers who guard the winds and the unseen currents.  
🌿 Protectors of the Brambled Hedges — Hedge-dwellers who defend the tangled edges and thorny thresholds.  
🌊 Wardens of the Riverways — Guardians of flow, passage, and the secrets carried by water.  
🍂 Guardians of the Underwood — Earthbound creatures who dwell in burrows, moss, root - badgers, deer, hares, rabbits, pine martens, and more.
