In the 900th year of the Celestial Era, crown land was given to a group of pilgrims to start a new life.
In only a short couple of years the Smith family carved their home out of the Everfree and established Sweet Apple Acres. Before long others began to search for their own new start in the fledgling town.
Now all were warned about the dangers of the forest, and that it was not fit to enter but the Everfree does not yield its ground easily, and the denizen's of that place are feeling the pressures of an ever decreasing habitat.
Not all the stories of those early pioneer days survived the inexorable passage of time. Some prefer they were forgotten.
