The Forest is a source of immense power. In ancient times, it was home to Vultures, which are a specie that would fall with the fall of the forest. The only Vulture to be seen from these times is MotherVulture. During these times, the Forest held its power in the North and was ruled by Orome and his wife Vana. Orome and Vana had several children together, such as Maria (Mari) and Melody. Melody would go on to marry Mairon Annatar so that they could rule the forest together. Eventually Melody would be killed by her brother Raegon as he was jealous of their rule and under the influence of Morgoth. The death of his wife caused Mairon to turn back to Melkor (Morgoth), his evil master that he had served before Melkor's first fall to the Forest Lords, and take on the name of Pythas. After this event, Melody would then go on to become Snowfalls, a witch and creator of Crows. Sometimes she appears in the form of a crow.

Due to all this, the immense power of the Forest would be brought to its knees and Orome and the Forest Children would be locked into the Frost Castle and Gold City.

These events were about 300 years ago.
