The Forests

So far, it seems like the dispute between the Renegade Legion and Duiran
is a private one, being discussed over Public channels. This issue
affects us all, no matter what class you are.
Simply put, if forests get destroyed, Druids and Sentinels will have
less herbs available to them. This means that refills, and important
herbs will become more difficult to come by.

What's in a forest? 6 essential herbs: lobelia, ginger, ginseng,
echinacea, myrrh bush, and elm. Forest herbs can cure berserk,
recklessness, masochism, agoraphobia, loneliness, vertigo, hemophilia,
haemophilia, darkshade, lethargy, the effects of scytherus, addiction,
aeon, hellsight, curses, and deadening. Myrrh is often a hot selling
item, for everyone uses it to learn. Imagine having to learn your
lesson, one at a time. Forest herbs are used in health, epidermal,
immunity, mending, speed and frost concoctions.

Less supply will result in higher demand. Prices will rise, and certain
herbs will become scarce.

Why go on and on about the goodness of the plants from the forest?
Because right now they are threatened.
The Renegade Legion will tell you there are plenty of forests, and that
Ulangi is just a little bit of it. In a way, they are right. But, this
is similar to a child pushing his parents. You give a little, and
they'll push more.
Also, they are claiming 'sovereign right' to Ulangi, when this is not
the case. Ulangi is not the property of the Renegade Legion, nor is it
the property of Duiran, or the Sentinels, or the Druids, or any
organization. Ulangi belongs to all Aetolians.

So, to summarize (a painfully long post, for which I apologize,) the
forests of Aetolia provide resources that we all need. And Ulangi is
just a stepping stone. Already the entire forests of Aetolia are in
danger.

This isn't a war between Duiran and the Renegade Legion. It affects
every one of you.
