Well, after an unannounced absence, in which i retreated to my Grove
to meditate on numerous subjects i have returned. Apon my return
I check to see what new items have sprung up out of the soil of peoples
hearts. What i have read disgusts me.

I will try to make this as to the point as possible.
As a Hierophant of the Oakstone, and servant of Nature, i have only
this to say about these "rampages." The actions of Druids or Sentinels
taken against a person or a city is not the concern nor the domain
of the Oakstone if said Druids or Sentinels do not serve the Oakstone.
The Oakstones purpose is to protect the forests, the -Forests-.
Being the Aalen, North Ithmia, and most importantly, West Ithmia.
We are not around to dicate to those who live in the forests. We
do not rule anyone, and impose nothing apon the forest guilds,
being the Druids and Sentinels, unless absolutly necessary to protect
the forests.

Second, i do so belive everyone needs to rub a bit of epidermal
salve on their ears (im sure one of Portis' or Eschereyes shops
has a vial or two, if not, consult a Druid) as many of you seem deaf.
I'll say this not many times more, Hashan, regrettably, holds North
Ithmia, whilst this angers a great many people, and my heart
goes out to you, for it angers me as well, Hashan will be allowed to
hold it untill their infernal road is built, at which time they
will either liberate the forest, or they will see the true purpose
of the Oakstone.

Third, thank you Strife, for your tale. I know it to be true, and
I also believe i know the one with whom you spoke.

Lastly, Rym...Your concern is appreciated. While the last thing
anyone wants is bloodshed when a peaceful agreement can be found.
We will not cower from it. Those who serve the forests through the
Oakstone take an oath, and part of that oath is fighting to the last
breath for the forests if necessary. If it comes down to it, we
will fight.

I will thank you all if you take a moment to calm down, think a bit
and speak from your hearts and conciences, not your lust for power
and wealth and want for a city to grow and trample all who stand
in their way, before replying to this post.

G'day
