Malhavoc,

My first response was intended to question the logic of your
declaration. This response, however, will go beyond such. I have three
main points I would like to discuss: the authority of Malhavoc, the
rogue druid who dwells within a city, to make declarations on behalf of
the forest; the offensive capabilities of the Morgun forest; my royal
cousins of House Bahir'an.

As much as I try, I cannot fathom the authority of a rogue druid who
lives within a city making declarations on behalf of the Morgun Forest.
You, Malhavoc, are a druid. A druid that left his guild of those who
held the forests in the highest esteem, a druid who dwells within a city
that is the epitome of destruction in regards to a forest. If you dare
to question my knowledge of the forest, I dare to question your
hypocrisy.

Regarding the offensive capabilities of the Morgun forest, I would argue
that it is the most secure of all forests. Equipped with its Hemlock
bushes and other creatures, I see no need of it to gain your "special
interest." I would further argue that there are other forests that are
less secure than Morgun that are being obliterated at a more intense
rate. These forests and areas do not possess the ability to defend
themselves, alone, as does the Morgun.

Finally, House Bahir'an and its mighty Castle were established within
the area long before the Morgun forest was resurrected. Furthermore, I
have seen several mobile plants make their way from the forest into
their Castle. In such event, these plants are invaders to their home and
those of House Bahir'an should have the right to defend such.
Furthermore, if they are attempting to gain access to their home and are
attacked, they, like any other, do have the right to defend themselves.
It makes -no- difference that the Hemlock bushes attack everyone. It
matters only that they do, indeed, attack on site. Aggressive as such,
they are no better or worse than the thugs that dwell within the Ashtan
sewers. If the forest truly seeks peace, then it should also present
peace.

-note- I am not a spokesperson for House Bahir'an, this is my personal
opinion.

P.S.

Have the Elder tress of Morgun acknowledge you are their spokesperson?
Also, you have stated, "My life within a city has taught me why people
have destroyed the forests, and it has allowed me to teach them not to."

Given you feel you can speak on behalf of the forests, I have a question
for you. Do the forests approve of the pollution they receive from your
city? As many know, the Ashtan sewer system is connected to a river.
From their, the cities excrements and feces deluge into nature,
poisoning it. Have you devised a "teaching" to combat this?
