Darkenwood was created by the union of the essences of Lord Twilight and
Myself. Thus, she remains My child as all other forests are, regardless
of her dubious paternity.

The Oakstone council of Hierophants has seen fit to release Darkenwood
from its responsibility. It is the Council's right to make such a
decision. However, Darkenwood remains My child. Darkenwood does not,
however, belong to Me, nor does it belong to Lord Twilight. She is a
living, breathing organism and belongs only to herself as the creatures
that call her home belong only to themselves.

I cannot speculate why Lord Twilight chose to build a temple there
beyond the assumption that He did so to cause strife which He so enjoys.

I shall remain, regardless, watching over all My children, even the
Darkenwood.

Take care of one another,
Gaia, the Earthmother
