Naia,

Firstly, I would like to thank you for clearing up the new forestal
tenets of ownership. You see, back in my day, granted long before I ever
thought of being a forestal, they used to protect Nature because they
cared for it, and couldn't stand to see it being harmed. It is nice to
know that they now do it because it belongs to them.

Secondly, I am insulted by the implication that I don't harvest people's
groves because they could kill me. I have never been a fighter, if Holz
can stand being mauled a few times and attack me, he would probably kill
me. I harvested his grove because of two reasons. One, it was there, and
two, I assumed he couldn't make use of the herbs as he is an apprentice.

Also, I am interested in how I was 'kicked to the curb'. Perhaps it was
being enemied to a few organizations that I don't care about. Or maybe
for being enemied to a city that is under the delusion it is a village.
It sure is an inconvienience that I can't enter places I have had no
interest in entering for decades.

I have to wonder though, why is it that my harvesting a few herbs from
some grove, for personal use, causes more noise that the systematic
infernoing that has been occuring over the past few months. Perhaps it
is striking too close to home? Perhaps you are all scared that I am
taking the gold out of your pockets?

I am sure Prospero is glad to take those who once followed Gaia and
Demeter. Good luck with your piles of gold and jewels, you can be sure
that my small deductions from them will berely be noticed.
