Greetings, Covenant.

Many people don't know this, not even most of the non-political faces of
Mhaldor would be aware, but I have been actively trying to get you, and
representation of Oakstone to sit down and have a meeting about this
nasty little relation you enterpret as -Anti-Forestal- only having been
met with challenge and lots of flowing coversation that leads no where.
I have asked, repeatedly, to sit at an officiated table and discuss the
matters at hand. For you to tell me what you would like to see of us,
and what you'd be willing to give up in a negotiation to make it worth
our while. I would, in turn, do the same. I have contacted
representation from Oakstone, Hyperlith I believe, who stated he'd be
happy to attend such a meeting and would organize a time with you. We
started this -years- ago, before the year 350 events, before Logosmas
even, and it has only been stalled and stifled at every turn. You always
have a reason why we can't meet, because you're too busy, but yet, you
always present a case in tells through a -day- long conversation why it
isn't worth your time to attempt to talk out our differences unless we
instantly give up things first. In essence we have to -pay- for your
time to sit down and discuss better relations-- by kicking out citizens?
Who is anti-Who here Covenant? We came to you, and you smiled at us
while standing your ground and ignoring multiple invitations to a
negotiation table. Lets turn off the Cov-Disinformation-Machine and tell
it like it is, shall we? Please? However your viewpoint on Mhaldor,
whatever your feelings for Lord Sartan, we have attempted to better
things with you and you have ignored us time and time again. We can only
offer to negotiate for so long (think 7-10 years is long enough,
personally) before it is obvious we're wasting our efforts.

And to address what you said about the 'weakness' of killing trees in
lieu of druids, how about you teach your druids to fight outside their
groves, and learn how to handle situations without having to run to
them, cage them, and disappear off the radar when our fighters are
coming after them? They surely do come running out of them hideyholes
when an extermination takes place.
