I have been in no hole, young Fetzer. Instead, I have been doing what you, Charnley and many other Druids should have been doing - wandering the forests of Achaea and communing with nature. I have watched your guild become a pale imitation of what it once was. I offered no assistance as the Druids didn't seem to be a deserving cause. I have my doubts as to whether Charnley would have accepted my voice anyway. I know you certainly wouldn't, my naive apprentice.

As for me defacing the office of the Lord of Nature, I have never even remotely been involved in the fall of a former Guildmaster. And I did not lose that position. I gave the responsibility to Buckthorn so that I could pursue a more meaningful path in life.

My continued use of the title 'Founder' is a right. A constant reminder of the ideals of Druidism that have now become hideously perverted. I could comment on your assumed title of 'Augur', for I have never found wisdom in any of your prophecies and any that would offer you such praise would either do it out of ignorance or blind flattery.

I question your logic too, when you believe that 2 years makes a score.

I do hope to speak to you again soon, in person rather than through the newsroom.

Your friend and former mentor,


Haidion, the Wanderer
