Once upon a time, the only offenses that would result in being enemied
to the forests were exterminating groves, setting fires and
overharvesting. All three of these things cause direct and undeniable
harm to the forest.

Now it seems that things like uprooting totems, creating wormholes, and
killing friends of Oakstone can get you enemied to the forests of
Achaea. The might of forest defenses and the fact that forests--and
forest areas--are everywhere in Achaea make this no small cross to bear.

Perhaps you have been given "divine clearance" to begin enemying
individuals for such actions. If so, it would benefit both Oakstone and
the general populace of Sapience to know what the new Oakstone
guidelines are. To change those "enemyable offenses" without telling
anyone seems to me to be extremely unfair. Serthest _might_ have acted
differently had he expected to be enemied for his actions.

A renegade druid stripping an entire forest bare of plants to sell for
profit? Easy. A necromancer moving about the forest, exterminating
groves to amass essence? Easy. A druid-turned-wyvern setting a forest
ablaze? Easy.

A serpent killing another serpent (a Mark member, too) in the forest
while he's cancelling a wormhole? Not so easy.
