Many of you seem to be under the impression that Oakstone doesn't unilaterally speak for the forests. This is incorrect. I am the incarnation of Nature, and I have given Oakstone the power to speak for Nature. If you don't like it, well, I'm sorry, but that's too bad. You can sit tehre and argue and dither all you want, but I AM nature. When Nature responds to your commands and defends the forests at your command, then I think perhaps you will have the ability to claim to speak for the forests. Until then, it's obvious that Oakstone does speak for the forests, as the forests are willing to act according to what Oakstone and I deem to be wise.

Claryssa and Treant, you may be of the Sentinel or Druid class, but that, in and of itself, certainly doesn't make you a representative of the forests. I, and no one else, have gifted you with your skill of Groves. I, as Nature itself, have given Oakstone the ability to speak for Nature. You may not like it, but the fact that Oakstone speaks for Nature cannot be intelligently disputed. Therefore, since a) I am Nature, and b) I have decided that Oakstone shall speak for Nature, then c) Oakstone does speak for Nature.
