There are indeed various messages that can be heard on the wind. All but
one of the many voices is evil, the rest are either good or innocuous.
They may related to an event to come or just ghosts from the past. The
"voices" do not appear to be harming any of the forest dwellers of
Tasur'Ke be it Chip and Skip the local chipmunks, Betsy the doe, the
local rascals, or Octavius. You can listen to the voices yourself, they
do not seem when taken as a whole, to be particularly hostile.

The elder did die under mysterious circumstances, someone whose last
wish was to NOT see Tasur'Ke destroyed by walls, rats, pollution, crime,
murder, thugs, corruption, war and delusions of world domination. Indeed
his mysterious death enabled someone else with a different point of view
to take over Tasur'Ke. The loss of the other elder is unrelated to
anything happening in Tasur'Ke.

There is no situation that is deteriorating. The course of Tasur'Ke was
set several years ago with the hard fought battles of the past. The
effect of the totem is gradual and will continue to be felt and it will
continue to expand to the point determined when the totem was erected.

The totem received it's power from the sacrifices that hunters made to
it during the Tasur'Ke battles. They are not protecting anything, those
battles are long over and won't be revisited, they are exterminating
existing forested lands plain and simple

Yes there is change but change for the better for example: "The fountain
in the center of the courtyard is now overgrown with beautifully
flowering vines. Where the pale gray marble previously bubbled with
water, the flow now passes silently across the growing vines"
