From Salazar Jack’s Bio - circa 2004
“After exploring the Lindens’ Grid for a few months I was amazed to learn that it was actually the world that my family had fled from many years ago during the Erase. My parents and grandparents joined me inworld at that point and were sad to learn that what had been a vast forest had become a barren and stark place. The Lindens had opened that area of The Grid just before their arrival and it was still virtually undeveloped. The first land auctions were held soon thereafter and we were able to acquire quite a bit of the forest’s previous area, along with the land in Nova Albion where my family’s Brownstones had once stood.
We have spent the last few years re-establishing the forest and rebuilding some of the structures that existed before the Erase. What began as The Forest of Rodeo later became The Forest of Kahruvel after I uncovered a cryptic notation on one of my great grandpa’s research maps. The forest has since grown to over 200,000 sq. meters.* Along the way, discoveries have been made involving ancient ruins, mysterious stones and other strange phenomena that continue to pose puzzling questions.”
* In recent years, the forest has contracted to a smaller area close to its heart in Rodeo. The Rodeo Incident in 2010 further diminished its stature.
The snows have finally past and a gentle rain is all that remains. Another sunrise lights up the hills with pinks and oranges
as the forest welcomes a new day. The past few years have been a struggle. Fortunately, Kahruvel’s roots run deep.
