"There are legends told in the woods. Legends of a faraway time when the World of Two Moons was still young and magic ran powerful among these valleys. They say our kin have always inhabited this place, and that the only thing we feared was man out of all creatures. In those old times a traveller could cross these lands light-heartedly, climb down the mountains, shield under the trees, camp under the moonlight on the welcoming shores of the three lakes.

Granted... this was before the PegasusRiders came to stay.

There was already a tribe of elves who had settled on the opposite lake. They called themselves CatRiders; their ears were large, their stature short, their hearts cold as the snow after which their chieftess was named. And it was she, Snowcry, who Recognized the chief of the PegasusRiders, the mild but hawk-minded Acornsong. They say Recognition is a blessing for our kind. However, for their tribes, it was just the beginning. The beginning of the war and life as we know it now."

A hundred years have passed since that recognition. CatRiders and PegasusRiders are still at war after all this time; many have died, many survived and are trying to go on with their lives. Elves now kill each other, sometime in self-defense, sometime for revenge. And then there are the GryphonRiders, Deathspear and Rainlight's folk; man chased them - against their will - to the shores of Third Lake. Inside the mountains they shaped a castle, and for a while they could live safe. But the shadow of the past still creeps over them, and now they come out in the open to fight the other two tribes, seeking to crush them under their heel and make Three Lakes a sanctuary for their kin alone.
Against this background dwell dragons, phoenixes, knights and savages; old enemies from the past, and the evil schemes of a spoiled young elf-prince. Dreams will be shattered, new hopes will be born. Plots, deceptions and betrayal now shape our days; will friendship ever be able to rise in these times of darkness? Come, wanderer, join one of our sides...
And don't forget to always watch your back.

Welcome to Three Lakes Holt! We are an Elfquest inspired holt, but not your average Wolfrider holt. Set in a region composed of three magical lakes, three elfin tribes are bound by war until the end of time. The CatRiders, who thrive on fighting, the PegasusRiders, masters of various arts, and last but, certainly not least the GryphonRiders, nobles and peasants, who live within the mountain in a Renaissance style society. But there's more to Three Lakes than just these details. Browsing this site you will meet the Tramps, thief elves of the wild, and many fantastic creatures from myth and legend. We have an extremely active play-by-email RPG; stories and pictures from members are found posted here. We have great members, and you can view their various personas additionally in the future we may even do some art and ficton trades with others holts. If you like Elfquest, fantasy and dark, mysterious plots that often take unexpected turns, this is the place for you. There are a lot of adoptables you can choose from. And afterward, you will never look at a lake the same way again!

Latest updates: Hope you've updated your bookmarks! The 'new' URL isn't so new anymore, we've been here a while and many of the pages are freshly updated. New art has been added and as always the tribemembers profiles are being updated or in some cases finished. We've aquired new members to our group, and had very few losses. The number of adoptables is dwindling, but there are still several available in each tribe. http://3Lakes.ifgd.net/ Christina. Holt Owner
Latest happenings: First Lake   The CatRider tribe split after Snowcry's death. Some led by Meadowlark made their way to Second Lake and the PegasusRiders. Others follow Blade still searching for their missing Chieftess, for her body was never found. Second Lake All is not peaceful at Second Lake though. While the elders sit in council trying to decide how best to deal with the situation the younger members are less than willing to get to know each other. Not that Boar and Russet are making things easy as they try to instigate a new battle in the war. Third Lake   The Jesters have arrived in the midst of the GryphonRiders for their winter trading and entertainment. Gauntlet's facination with them irritating his parents and his disreguard of their commands as he follows after Bryah only make matters worse. Meanwhile Demar, Jaxal and Rokal are amused by the boy and jesting with each other about who is more successful with the females. But they're distracted by the appearance of a new 'tramp', Surefire who seems to be hiding more than her face.
