The Hode - Robin - had managed to accomodate a good many strangers in their treed Community - it was estimated at times to be numbered beyond five hundred dwelling there all at once. This was far from the depiction of them being but a ‘band of merry men’ - who were of course the brothers of poverty that he travelled with also.
To properly frame this picture one must first know of Robin’s Elven heritage and how it was that he could effect the many magical happenings around him.
Robin had created a space that was not exactly part of the land of Faerie, nor was it of this World - it lay somewhere in between - where both mortal and immortal could co-dwell.
This space was not infinitely abounding - in truth, it would have measured only two hundred acres or less - yet it was large enough to conceal and keep his darling community.
For the main part, those that were offered a place there seldom left, for the rain was sweet and the sun was a comfort, and food grew in abundance for all.
