A last reply to your words.

Little Kalodan:
While I realize your reaction cannot be completely attributed to your
upbringing in the Serenwilde as I have yet to be screamed at quite like
you did to me when you lost your temper, and while the majority of your
arguments were based on insults and nothing more, I felt the need to
calmly respond just once more before I request my scribe put down his
writing utensil and refuse to compose anything additional from me to
you, for my sanity and for his.
It does not surprise me that one such as yourself would have the
audacity to compose such ludicrous ravings in response to something that
was calmly answering questions you wrote for those of the Glomdoring to
respond to from at the very least, my own opinion. You asked us why ally
with Magnagora when we are not technically allied with them - they
scratch our backs and we'll scratch theirs, so long as they continue to
scratch ours, so to speak. Such a thing is not an alliance like the one
you'll see in the ESA, which several members of your Commune partake in.
While the ESA is not an official alliance between the two, Commune and
City, it is a much closer tie than the so-called "alliance" you accuse
Glomdoring and Magnagora of having.
Perhaps I'm foolish for thinking so, but I've come to bond so deeply
with the Glomdoring that I view myself a part of the forest. The forest
trains me and shadows my secrets from your prying eyes, allowing me to
grow while within its depths, until times when I venture out into the
world, a representation of it. I won't say I know for sure, but I can
guess that many other people of Glomdoring feel the same. Perhaps it's
foolishness, like I suggested. Perhaps it signals a greater tie between
myself and my Forest than between you and your Commune and its forest.
Since you seem to be able to speak for everyone, and say that none of
them are tied in to the forest and all make decisions separate of it.
Truly, if you were to keep your beloved (though impure and not quite so
beautiful) Forest at the front of all your decisions, you too would be
able to say with pride that you make decisions with the Serenwilde, not
that you simply live within it and fight for it.
Insult me all you'd like. Call me vile and disgusting and worthless and
scum, and we shall see later on who is the vile, disgusting, worthless
scum when you kneel at the feet of Crow, begging for His mercy.
Now, my scribe needs to rest. Go ahead and throw all the petty insults
my way that you'd like, for I refuse to stoop to the level of one with
such broken pride and lost cause. Before I depart, remember that my
words are not that of Glomdoring, so do not dare to hold them up to the
same light as you would the Dark Seneschal or Shadow Court. They are
simply my own, as I am a small piece of it all.
Nothing matters but Glomdoring.
