For the time being, it seems that Father Wulfen is absolutely correct.
So long as you are crafty about it, you can extend your city defenses
well beyond where they should rightfully be, and at the end of the day,
there is nothing anyone can do about it. If you are an individual, you
can implant totems almost anywhere, and have a very good chance of
keeping them in place indefinitely, provided you are fairly careful
about the tuning of those totems, and sufficiently devious about how you
interrupt a would be uprooter. In short - the longstanding tradition of
not interfering with the uproot of illegal totems is dead, meaning that
a new era of totems anywhere and everywhere is ushered in. Enjoy!
