: The text mentions caves in the plural sense. What Forest
: would be big enough to have multiple caves and not
: appear on the map? I'm going to guess this is the
: Ermine, and be so bold as to guess Avon's Grove as the
: site of Andir's home. Here's why: 1) Andir's mother
: told stories of beasts that would feed on young boys.
: Just story to frighten children away from the forest?
: I think not. She might have been referring to the
: Bre'Unor. They do command wolves, do they not? And the
: Bre'Unor look enough like beasts with the bones that
: they wear as armor. They might like Andir's head as a
: volleyball.
Not to quarrel with the rest of your argument, but the introduction does actually say that they just told him those stories so he'd be frightened away. :-)
