Like it or not, you are a forestal. You are sentinel class, you share
the same skillsets with the rest of us cool kids, aka forestals.
Granted, you are not in a forestal house, but a house does not a
forestal make. Those of us who actually respect our skills consider from
whence they came...granted to us by the grace of the Logos and the
Mother of Nature, Gaia. Indeed, you are a citizen of the city of Ashtan,
and I believe many other forestals, housed and not, also are citizens of
Ashtan. So that is not the difference. The difference is only in your
mind. I doubt any of us other cool kids begrudge you the right to hold
your own views. And if you choose to defy the rest of the cool kids, aka
forestal community, you certainly may. Just do not expect the rest of
the kids to roll over and pass you the ball much. At one time, you did
have a grove, and the very same -customs- that you refer to, protected
your own grove and the precious herbs growing therein. Contrary to your
statement, Holz was not whining at all. In fact, he chose a very mature
and articulate manner of responding to your insulting message.
Sometimes, even we old kids can learn from the young cool kids!

Oh, do not presume to understand or know the ways or rules of the Druid
House. Holz is an apprentice druid, who has learned all that he is able
to in groves and metamorphosis, and rather high in the skillset of
concoctions. He can and does have the abilities and skills to harvest
his grove, as well as other herbs that he is able to. In fact, I can
share with you that all apprentice druids have been able for some time,
to harvest if they are able under the class system.
