The Holt is dominated by the Great Tree. This tree doesn't come close to the Startree Holt's setup, but it is still the biggest tree that most elves could ever visit. It is made up of a great Fog Catcher that has been shaped time and time again by the many plant shapers living there. The base of it has been covered with shaped stone to support the weight atop. Within it, the cavernous central hollow first room is where many elves can come to gather. The shaped walls are fit with small luminous stones and candle sets, so the darkness is broken by what appears to be constellations of the night sky. There are several corridors which lead away from the bottom area of the tree, one to a large and well-used healing room, another to a store room for foods, and still another for a weapons storage area. There is a wide shaped staircase leading up to the branches, which contain either dens or meeting areas, and are more often than not, open air.
Near the Great Tree there is a small garden and a stone oven. To its front area there is a big fire pit, which is used for all group meals. On the southern side of the Great Tree, is the Dancing Glenn, or just The Dancing. This is a wide, shallow bowl with a moderate rise around it on all sides, framed by trees. There, all dancing and performance takes place. The trees surrounding the Dancing are all either home dens, or performance areas which have costumes, instruments, anything which is required for the Dancers.
Most of the First Holt is made up of evergreen and Fog Catcher woods. Wide Boll trees are generously scattered around as well, though there are whole copses of oak and maple, other deciduous woods which change with the seasons. A number of small river tributaries drift through this area, though the main sources of water are found in small streams, ponds and the occasional small lake.
To the east, there is a flat, slate-ground area which has been ravaged by fire in the past and is still known for a great blaze which took at least one life. This area used to house many elves, but now it is used only as a hunting ground. Almost superstitious, the elves of the First Holt regard the area with unease.
To the south, there is a bit of a swamp area, where large fin-back reptiles live. They keep to themselves, and sometimes have bonded to elves.
To the north there is a deep forest where the unbonded wolves live. They run to the areas where the forests thin and become sparce with winter snows. The Farpack, or wilder elves, ally themselves with these wolves and visit only briefly during deepest winter, when the snows are too thick in the north to survive in.
On the due-west edge of this area is where the land becomes more mountainous and rugged, and where anyone headed west usually starts from.
The closest Holt near by is the Greenriver Holt, several long days journey east. Next is Silverglen a number of eights-of-days south into the mountains.
There is a Portal to Earth directly above a small private dancing meadow. The area is almost perfectly circular, with a large fallen log in the side of it which has never rotted away in all these many seasons. Most of the original Elves fell through this portal on their way in, and some still do it today even though the event is extremely rare.
