An apology Duiran

Greetings again all, I clearly like the sound of my own voice more than
is good for me, and my wallet.
After listening to and re-examining the teachings of my Lady Slyphe, I
have come to understand that when nature is effected by mortals, from
purposefully lit forest fires to exterminations, it is mortals who have
the ability and to some degree obligation to set things right.
It has also come to my attention, from Her teachings, that once an area
is exterminated or removed of seeds it will _never_ grow back again
without mortal intervention (or immortal I suppose) I personally find
this shocking, and were it not from the mouth of the Divine almost
unbelievable. Yet come from the mouth of a Divine being it did, who has
no need to prove an argument by telling falsehoods, and would not waste
Her time doing so. So I must conclude that my beliefs upon nature are
unfounded and incorrect, the earth will _never_ heal itself, regardless
of the time it has, once sullied by the hands of mortals.
So a genuine apology to Duiran, Lord Haern, the Lady Slyphe and in
particular Irruel for casting aspersions upon their work and the
necessity for it, I can only claim ignorance as a rather poor defence.
Penned by my hand on the 10th of Midsummer, in the year 96 MA.
