I would love to give an answer to those who ask of our intentions of pulling back of the Northern Ithmia. Many times I have said that we could not answer that question, but I will say it again. We don't know what we will be doing as our future is still in the future.

I agree that this answer may not be suitable to all of you, but what do you want from us, a lie? I will not bring Hashan and its citizens to such a low level by lying to anyone, it would only lead to more frustrations.

I have heard a lots of talks about a road. Though I have no idea where this idea came to the ears of others, when it was mentionned in a city meetings this was only a suggestion. Something that will need a lot of thinking and a lot of resources. Resources that we might not possibly be able to acquire at the size this city is kept.

Now I would like to ask to those Druids and Sentinels who's groves have been claimed by Hashan, speak forth and tell us your opinion on the situation. And to those who's grove is located in the Western Ithmia, where you ever consulted when the Oakstone was form to protect your home? Would there be any of you who would accept that Hashan claim their land for the sake of the survival of a communauty?

Best regards,
Moralist and Regent Garuth, Caterer of Darkness
