Once upon a time...

there was an elf guardian who dreamed of having a family. Only, he did not know how one went about obtaining one. He tried so many things from magic to money. All to no avail. 

After all hope seemed lost he discovered something. A seed. One seed to rule them all. One seed to find them. One seed to bring them all and in the darkness bind them! 

Soon after he planted the seed and behold how it grew! From the offspring of that one seed more followed. Branch after branch after branch. Thus it came to pass that our family tree was born...
