Grove Etiquette

I have been enemied to the forests for some time now, however, Holz is
right, as is Accipiter. The herbs in his grove were not HIS. They were
the forests, BUT, the way it kind of works is that we forestals care for
OUR grove. It doesn't belong to US per se, however, we nurture it,
protect it from idiots like Relish who think it's *FUN* to burn the
wilds, and so on. We become attached to such a degree for that piece of
land we swear to protect (and in return protects us) that we feel it is
part of us.
Now, you may say well...you're an idiot because you are enemied AND a
Sentinel so you don't have groves. Wrong. I *WAS* an idiot a long time
ago (about 100 years), and have changed a lot. And second, we Sentinels
*DID* at one time have groves. I remember those times vividly, though
some of our younger members may not.
Now on to etiquette. It is fairly reasonable, and unspoken that you not
harvest another's grove without express permission from that person (at
least among us in the forestal community). However, many rogues care not
for this rule. If you are a member of the Druid or Sentinel Houses...you
*SHOULD* technically follow this piece of etiquette for the sake of
keeping the peace. If you don't want a rogue harvesting your grove, the
only real thing you can do is to keep your herbs harvested to minimums
yourself. It sucks but..also, think of how many groves there are
compared to free land..not many. So Accipiter is also right, though
breached a long standing term of etiquette...as many have done before.
Now..Cattiva..that word hypocrite..is that like when you were in Cyrene
pretending to be neutral in Shallam's eyes, but were really helping
Mhaldorians (until you finally became one)?? Just curious as I want to
make sure I read the definition right.
Penned by my hand on the 5th of Scarlatan, in the year 401 AF.
