Dear Portis,

As a Hierophant, it is my duty to tell you that your personal request to
be admitted to the Oakstone has been denied on the grounds that you
are known to be an avid overharvester and your constant derogatory
remarks to us, the Forests, and our beloved patron Gaia have quite
frankly earned you our contempt.

Despite your "reformation", none among us feels we can trust you
enough to accept you into our ranks, though we do find it very
touching that our biggest detractor suddenly wants to be a part
of us. We would also note that you have wisely decided that we are
named the Oakstone rather than the "Oakstone Thingy" as your
previously failed attempts at sarcasm referred.

Do not waste our time with any further requests for admittance for
you have offended beyond forgiveness.


The Oakstone Council, for and on behalf of Gaia, Goddess of
Nature and Her Forests

Penned by my hand on the 5th of Sarapin, in the year 234 AF.
