Lavinia,

So I am the master propagandist now, and you the simple forest person
wishing to protect the forest by what...? Setting a minimum price to
sell at? I am controlling the Councils and Guilds of Nature from Stavenn
how...? Telling you my property is my own?

What exactly is the goal of the Councils and Guilds of Nature if not to
raise their own profits? Do they hope to ensure that people will use
more care when fighting and hunting, knowing that if they get afflicted
the cost of death is cheaper than the cost of a simple herb? I fail to
see how selling herbs for high or low prices changes how often people
will actually use them, so it can't be that.

Perhaps this is the forest people wishing to flex their muscles a bit,
as you made reference to smiths and toxicologists. Want to make sure
everyone knows your trade skills can be restricted just like the Sabs? I
thought that to be a bit out of character for people simply defending
the forests. Regardless if I pay 10 gold per myrrh ball or 1,000 gold
per myrrh ball, I can sell my ball of myrrh for 1 gold piece if I so
wish, and you telling me I cannot does not sit well with me.

Obviously, Lavinia, no Arboreal or Hunter need to ask for their pockets
to be lined - they provide a service that ALL living people need, so
spare me your horrendous attempts at sarcasm. For every day that passes
and every post made regarding the forest guilds making their fair share
of gold spent on herbs it's more evident to all that you are
"gold-hungry savages, spending your time squirreled away in your groves
and campfires plotting how to better take" my money. It has nothing to
do with eluding us - it's blatantly obvious.
