-* In RTH 2097, a family hunting party of Cedarwing, Shyheart, Lynx, Frost, Brightwood, Farscout and young Cloudfern had the tribe’s first encounter with humans, as they encountered a war band of the nomadic Fierce Ones, far to the north of the tribe’s territory. Only Farscout, Brightwood and Cloudfern escaped the encounter alive, and Brightwood was so badly injured that she had to be placed in wrapstuff.

 It is during this period that Easysinger has the tribe’s remaining plantshaper, Sunlight, develop a Thornwall for the defense of the area closest around the Holt's Dentrees.  Over the years, Sunlight and her plantshaper nephew Cloudfern would continue to develop, fortify, and maintain this defense.  (The Thornwall, however, is not regarded by the elves as an impenetrable defensive wall.  It is intended to discourage human movements, steering them around the tribe's Dentrees; or, in a last resort, to slow down humans determined to invade, giving the tribe time to evacuate.)

 * 07 - The failure to heal Fletcher causes many to have doubts about allowing Willow to open Brightwood's cocoon and try to heal her, not least because Brightwood was so badly injured, not to mention pregnant, at the time she was wrapped.  Some, including her closest family such as Farscout, Cloudfern, and True Edge, want to wait before taking that step, in order to give Willow plenty of time to practice and master her healing powers before they take the risk.  But it isn't clear why Willow could not heal Fletcher, and she insists that she is certain that, with that experience behind her, she will be able to heal Brightwood. Caution and the desires of Brightwood's family overrules her, and the chief sides with Farscout and the others.  However, Willow darkly sees this as a lack of confidence in her, and an unwillingness to believe that she knows her powers the best; and she is afraid that as long as the last cocoon remains, the chief and the tribe will restrict what she can do and where she can go.  Without anyone else's knowledge, she takes it upon herself to open the cocoon and begin the healing. (See: [http://www.rivertwine.com/storypageview.php?id=349 "A Long, Difficult Path"], [http://www.rivertwine.com/storypageview.php?id=355 "Brightwood"], etc. - and [http://rth.ellenmilliongraphics.com/viewtopic.php?p=30635#p30635 "Linked Stories"]).
-* 07 - Although Brightwood and the unborn baby are successfully healed, many in the tribe are angry at Willow for her actions -- defying the wishes of Brightwood's family and the chief's orders, taking that choice away from them and taking a risk that might have turned out tragically.  It's up to Chief Windburn, with some input from various elders (including those who speak in Willow's defense) to decide how to punish her ([http://www.rivertwine.com/storypageview.php?id=366 "The Morning After").  In the end, Willow's punishment will be a 4-day shunning, and just before that, the elders who were alive at that time show Willow memories of Healer Owl’s last days in an attempt to show her why her recent actions angered so many in the tribe ([http://www.rivertwine.com/storypageview.php?id=431 "The Lesson of the Last Healer"]).  This gives Willow a great deal to think about ("I Am Not Him", ''pending''). Only after the shunning is over is a Howl held to welcome Brightwood back to the tribe ([http://rth.ellenmilliongraphics.com/viewtopic.php?p=30635#p30635 "Linked Stories"]).
