Conor certainly covered most of the points, and finely. I saw
enough room left to give a few of you another viewpoint, from
a different person.

Agrias: Mother Gaia did not persecute the Sartanites before
Lord Sartan ravaged her grove. As I was present and a member
of the order, I can tell you that your viewpoint is utter
hogwash in that regard. Indeed, they were persecuted AFTER they
started waging war on the forests. No surprise there, eh?

Diamondesce: No, it is not a crime for those of like mind to
gather. It is, however, silly to imagine that those who serve the
forest WANT those who place service to Evil above service to
Nature associated with them intimately. We have standards. They
happen to be different than yours.

Mhaldor itself, since its forming, has only been anti-forest
officially and actively for a short period of time. I am sure you
recall it well, you were at the meeting that attempted to end
the situation observing. Your patron, however, has been Anti-forest
for many many years, and when He says jump, you ask how high.

Exterminations certainly do harm the forest. Without mortal
repair, an exterminated room NO LONGER IS FOREST. Malkuth, you may
want to note that point too, as its not JUST about the "plants".
IF someone had a method to remove rooms from Mhaldor, you would
certainly
think it was an attack if it was used, eh?

Still to Diamondesce: I find your argument interesting. If a necromancer
cannot manage to catch, kill, and dismember someone who has incurred
their
wrath, the best course of action is to destroy the most accessable tree
as a response? Live up to your own stated standards, and judge your
members
weak if they cannot take effective action against the INDIVIDUAL they so
dislike. Oh, sorry..that would require consistency and honest
selfassessment, its much easier to say you are strong for destroying a
tree
than weak for inability to take action against the individual you think
deserves it.

Accipiter: Oakstone defenses work in jungle. Inferno does not work in
mountains.

Lastly, I would like to announce the creation of a new clan.
Clan Ultra Ulkatuare.
Its a clan for the creation of a Necromancy guild that abhors evil, and
wishes to serve Nature, Good, or both. I realize that the skill itself
would seem counter to those principles, but I have been assured it is
not,
and others of like mind agree, so of course we have the right to do
this.
