Covenant,

While reading your reply to my post, between the repeated, and quite
frankly, boring insults to exterminators, (you emphasised 'Stupidity' at
least twice), I noticed that you missed the point of my post completely.
Floralei isn't a member of your Eleusis, nor a Sentinel, a Druid, or a
Sylvan. She's not a member of Lady Demeter's Order.She's not even a
member of your 'Treehuggers' clan, and is in fact enemied to all the
organizations to the best of my knowledge. She shares absolutely nothing
with your kind aside from her skills and a mutal love for the forest. Or
maybe not so mutual, considering all your 'record' isn't visible at all
to anyone outside Eleusis or the Sentinels. For all I know, you've been
sitting in your city sipping on goat milk since it was founded,
occassionally hugging a nearby tree. At least Floralei tried what she
thought was best to save what she respects in loves, instead of backing
up a slapped-on enemy status for an exterminator, like you do. Speaking
of which, do come outside more often, it must be rather dull permanently
residing in Eleusis, only emerging to chase down forest enemies that
enter the forest with several friends in your wake. (A side note to
anyone who's going to respond that I should venture out of Mhaldor, I do
more than you think.)

Your analogy to Mhaldor's guards and how Forestals reacted to Floralei's
actions is not true. It is not extortion, even by your own definition,
as Floralei did not try to benefit wrongly, nor did Tybalt. I could
maybe see your point if Tybalt demanded that he be paid to stop, but he
was not the one who tried to give up his own personal wealth and
belongings to save a few trees because he likes them, now is he?

Your arguement on Concoctions is flawed too, because it is not a
'self-defeating' strategy. I highly doubt any exterminator believes that
the entire forest can be laid to waste. Even Dalamar and Andelas only
destroyed a small fraction, though in Andelas' case, he got almost the
entire jungle in Dun Valley, if I remember correctly. The point of
exterminating, my dear Covenant, is to make a statement, at least to me.
People don't like Mhaldor, so they kill our guards and make us hire new
ones as well as enjoy the slaughter. Exterminators don't like the forest
for whatever reason, so they kill trees. It's the same thing when you
look at it. Personally, as previously stated, I don't like Oakstone.
That organization doesn't have guards in the traditional sense and I
can't walk around and kill any forestal that I feel like to get at it.
Hence, I try to hurt it the only way I know how, by helping destroy what
it protects and stands for. Perhaps if Oakstone got off its high perch
and decided to live in the real world where they have to deal with
people not liking them instead of enemying anyone who harms their
precious plants, then there would be less extermination overall. Of
course, it's not like you would try anything to prevent extermination of
what you hold dear to you, Covenant, now is it? To me, and to many I've
spoken with, Mhaldorian or Forestal, Floralei is a true protector of the
Forest. You are nothing but a stubborn man who chooses to automatically
brand someone a 'traitor' because they lead a lifestyle you do not
approve of. You are, truely, a protector of the trees, Covenant.
