First of all, unless my multiple sources are incorrect, I believe that
Varian already acknowledged that Haern cheated in the Totem event, just
as he cheated at the end of the leaves event.

Second of all, as I've said many times, if all Haern wanted was more
forest he could have forested the ruins of Hashan. That is both a larger
area and is already surrounded by forest and thus would fit into the
ecosystem better and would have caused much less of an uproar.

Third, the reason your side won was not because you were either better
or because you tried harder. It was because even though we were beating
you in the battle to control the totem area and were also getting more
animals then your side (at first at least), in the latter stages we were
enemied from the forests where said animals reside. Even then we still
held the land of the totem itself but this was quite useless to us once
we couldn't hunt the creatures.

Fourth, I can go back and point out very direct lies said by your Order
in the public posts, things your kind swore to that their own words and
later events proved untrue. I fully intend to do this the next time you
plant one of your totems, but for now garbage like you isn't worth the
trouble.

Fifth, my apologies to the people of Tasur'ke for failing to protect
your city but I don't think any of you will deny that we did our best in
the face of overwhelming odds, perhaps twenty mortals against two Gods
and their followers and powers. My condolensces to you also over your
recently collapsed economy due to the land lost because of the rising
ocean and magicaly thick jungle. I am sure that Ashtan will grant
sanctuary to any of you who are willing to leave your ancient homeland,
as it has already done for Constantine.
