[MR] Was it Myrkwood? ====> Re: What was in Bright Hills before it was Bright Hills?

It might be Myrkwood.  I've heard variously that it became Lochmere and also Storvik, but not sure.

A unsubstantiated quote:

(Myrkwood was) the original name for the Storvik region, and the reason the Atlantia newsletters are the Acorn and the Oak. "

A unsubstantiated quote (this being the reason why, whatever region it was, they changed the name):

"The name "Myrkwood" can't be used anymore...the group there spelled it every way _except_ Myrkwood 
(such as oddities like MXXXXXXD, and MICKEYMOUSE, both pronounced "Myrkwood"). I recall something about the name being copyrighted by Tolkien's estate... "

Good gentles:
 
Can anyone recall what the name was of the group centered around what is now 
Bright Hills?  There was activity there in the earliest days of Atlantia, indeed 
in pre-Atlantian times. When I was here in AS IX and X I recall there being a 
group there but its name escapes my memory.
