Everyone,
Exterminated forestal locations will always be rejuvenated immediately.
This is a divine edict. There are several organisations sworn to Nature,
two of which produce people who are able to harvest from the bounty of
Nature, things useful to the civilised world. These abilities do not
come free. A covenant exists, one which must be adhered to, lest the
person lose the privilege granted them.

It has been claimed that Aeron has caused the destruction of forest, by
his actions to rejuvenate it. I say to you now that this is not so.
Divine edict tells Aeron to rejuvenate. The covenant makes him obey.

This creates a kind of catch 22 situation for the civilised world. On
one hand - we continue to rejuvenate, Spirokai continues to exterminate.
Harvestable plants get scarcer, and scarcer. Or, Spirokai exterminates,
and we let it stay that way. The covenant is broken, and there are no
longer any people around to harvest plants - herbs become scarcer and
scarcer.

Whatever we do, whether it is defying Spirokai, or giving into him -
will result in no herbs for the world entire. What are you going to do
about it?
