Tobasryn || The Wild Places

The Sindar wanted a garden, and tried to drive the wild parts of the forest out. But the forest is a wild thing itself, and it will not be tamed. It will not be cultivated; it will not be controlled. The spiders are returning; the trees are encroaching. The forest is taking itself back.

Welcome to Middle-Earth  ☼  Mirkwood

Mirkwood was a dense and heavy woodland that made up much of the eastern part of Rhovanion or the Wilderland, that maintained its borders and relative shape for many ages. Its natural land features included the Mountains of Mirkwood, a sizable river the Forest River, that ran from the Grey Mountains down to Long Lake, and a smaller river that ran from the Dark Mountains to join with the Forest River west of the Elven-king’s Halls. This smaller river was enchanted to such an extent that it caused slumber and forgetfulness to anyone who fell into it.

silvan elves with sharp teeth

silvan elves able to see in the dark

silvan elves that communicate in bird sounds and trills and tongue-clicking

silvan elves with dark skin so they can hide between foliage better

silvan elves who never met the ainur and as such properly worship them

devoted to nessa and yavanna and orome

Headcanon: Seduced brides

Though to be fair, he also was not above seducing wives (and husbands- Toby isn't picky) if he liked them and could persuade them.

Headcanon: Stolen brides

There are lots of fairy stories about elves who stole away young wives and new brides, and once again that is largely thanks to Toby. Though the stories often say that the women were "seduced" away from their husbands, this is not the case. While, yeah, Toby would happily seduce someone he was attracted to as much as they would allow him, the wives he stole away tend to be child brides and young teen girls- 'women' who were married long before they ought to be (despite human practices, Toby placed them firmly as children in his head, and thus far too young and pure to marry).

The young girls he coaxed away from their husbands were often given the task of tending his younger children, which is where stories of human women being taken by the elves to tend their children came from.

Toby is generally non-violent in nature; he prefers to rely on his creepy nature to give the impression that he might go off, and only to use violence to defend himself if this fails. One of the few things to lead him to use violence willingly is the husbands of these girls, if he finds out they were cruel or mistreated them. While his first priority is to get the girls away, if he meets the husband on the way out or later on, he'll personally see to it that they'll no longer terrorize his new charge.

In fact, it is not uncommon for him to steal away a reluctant bride before her wedding.

Whether it was hallowed or simply well guarded, the cemetery grove was one of the few places the sickness in the Wood did not seem to touch.  Rossiel slept nestled between the roots of her ada’s oak, as she often did these days, feeling in some ways safer here than in her little room in the vast halls below.  It was almost like being held.

A noise woke the minstrel, yanking her sharply from her dream and sending her scrambling to sit upright, back pressed against the tree, eyes wide and searching for whatever had caused the sound.

[roofoftrees]

"Hush, little songbird," Toby said, dropping lightly from the branches in front of her. "Tis only old Toby."

He gave her a smile that, on any other face, would have been comforting- on Toby, it simply made him seem more feral than usual. “I didn’t mean to wake you. Even the best of us step poorly at times. I didn’t frighten you, did I?”

[askrossiel]

"Oh.  M-Mister Toby."  Rossiel took a moment to steady her breath and relax, as far as it was possible for Rossiel to relax — especially given her present company.  "It’s easy to startle me these days, I’m afraid.  P-particularly at such a quiet hour."

[roofoftrees]

"Then I do apologize." He bowed lightly. "Have you come here to grieve, or to find peace? There are many who come here seeking peace. Some find it in different ways than others..." He looked around sadly. There were so few left of those who had lived in his forest before the Sindar came.

Shouldn’t it taste good to begin with?
