As there seems to be much confusion over the Dark Order's wishes for the
Wood, I will make our terms clear to Oakstone, the Sentinels, and anyone
else who wishes to jump on the ever popular bandwagon and crusades.

The druids and sentinels are welcome to help maintain the health of the
Darkenwood by patrolling for forest fires, extermination, and severe
overharvesting.
The temple is recognized as the sacred grounds of Lord Twilight. Only
His childer can imprint there, with His permission. Only His childer can
harvest there, with His permission. Any other being of the forest must
secure His divine permission before utilizing the gifts of the Wood,
shaped in His image by His hand.

Because the Forest is a sacred ground, the Order of Darkness reserves
the right to protect it using such means as totems.

Because the forest is a sacred ground, any damage done to it by outside
forces will result in enemying, fines, and/or death, depending on the
offense.
As a gesture of courtesy towards Oakstone, and in gratitude to the part
played by the forest folk in the creation of the wood, the Dark Forest
Dwellers will abide by the harvesting laws of Oakstone, agreeing to pay
any fines for overharvesting, as well as participating in the replanting
and maintenance of the Wood.

Any concerns of Oakstone as to the health and state of the Darkenwood is
to be looked into by a committee composed of Dark guardians and
representatives of Oakstone. Upon review, the decision reached would be
acted upon by the combined parties as per the best interest of the
Darkenwood.

Any wormholes and other methods of transportation placed within the Wood
by the children of Darkness for the purposes of pilgrimages to our holy
temples will be preserved. Cancellation and/or other methods of
destruction will be viewed as attempts to impinge on our religious
practice, and punished accordingly.


These terms have been painstakingly derived to insure the protection of
both interested parties. This is an official presentation of terms to
Oakstone.

Let me say that I am tired of the accusations thrown around by both
sides, the under-the-table deals and incomplete agreements. If it is a
war you want, state it. If it is a reasonable compromise you wish, here
it is. But end this pointless bickering. Let us decide the custody of
the Wood and our respective rights there once and for all.

I post these terms on the public boards so as to make them available to
any interested/concerned party. Let there be no twisting of intent. All
that has been stated here is open. The Darkenwood's welfare and the
religious rights and practices of the Dark Order are the motivation
behind this proposal.
I await the response of the Oakstone Council.
