To those we left behind,

Your whimpers have reached the ears of the Diaconate and we have a response for you: "Stop cutting down trees."

It never occurred to us that we would have to explain to the forest Council of Celidon and the Animists that taking an axe to a tree does not constitute defending nature. I cannot determine if these actions are born of ignorance, laziness or sheer stupidity. It is of little consequence. You are lax in your duties as the guardians of nature. In your place, Khandava shall succeed where you have failed. Those who are felling shall themselves fall. Consider this your warning.
