In the beginning, there was naught but potential; the ability to create and nurture the seedlings of life. So came into being the Aerinewild: home for the spirits of the forest.

For eons did they remain hidden, shrouded from mortal perception. Until, at the passing of the Earthmother, they stepped forth to enact their sacred birthright. With diligence, purity and an elegant grace, they spread to ensure the continued growth and preservation of the great forests of Achaea.

Centuries passed, and the forest spirits witnessed much. Indeed, there was immense change: destruction, respite, eventual growth... the continuity of the Great Cycle. Yet, their hearts remained pure in the face of modernity. Such was their loyalty to the Earthmother.

Late into the first millennia, the Goddess returned by the combined will of Nature's devoted. With Her gaze restored, the spirits deliquesced and arose to the heavens, discharged from their guardianship to become whole once more with Nature.
