As Rahl has spoken, it is quite a bit to question the motives of the
gods. Even if Gaia moved the trees, the forest would suffer, and
shrink in size. Do not seek to advise those who live among the trees
on how to care for them.

I would also like to see Grind, or another leader of Hashan step to the
table and speak of Hashan's plans to release the forest land they claim
once the road is in place. The Oakstone has not taken any action against
Hashan for the areas of the Northern Ithmia that are being damaged. I would
like to see a gesture of goodwill proclaiming the forests areas that are not
turned into a roadway will be liberated by Hashan.
