Sapience,

I'm not sure how many of you are so greatly affected by this situation
that it has influenced the patterns of your dreams, however it has
become apparent that a few - who were quite distraught - have had
subconscious visions of Yggdrasil burning, and two sides arguing about
the tree. These two sides seem to be arguing over which is more
relevant; curing the tree, or curing the flame. This disturbs me
greatly. Dreams are sometimes visions of the future, and that more then
one person seems to be experiencing them is an even stronger indication
of this.

Let it be known that we will NOT be burning Yggdrasil, and if you DO
feel the need to arm yourself with torches and pitchforks, you will be
greeted by army of those willing to lay down their lives for the tree.
And trust me, My army will be bigger then yours. In searching for the
cure, I promise that we will not burn Yggdrasil unless every other
option was exhausted, and it was in the overall benifit of Wilderness,
the World, and the people to kill the tree.

Having said that, I would like to inform you all that I currently stand
on the belief that curing the tree will purify the flame, and not the
other way around.

To me, the flame is like an extension of the tree's soul. To put it in
perspective, lets imagine that you have a cold, and your nose is stuffy.
If we find a way to stop your nose from being stuffy, that doesn't
necessarily mean we have cured your cold. We must cure your body, and
you're nose, hopefully, will follow suit.

Ideas, suggestions, and offers for help would be much appreciated,
however keep in mind that drastic action which may cause permanent
injury to the Tree, the flame, or both, will be considered last. Please
contact Ezrax or myself with your ideas.

We continue to search for a cure,
Rhaea Thalion
