Greetings Herbalists and Everyone else reading this.
It has come to my attention that alot of people are tired of hearing
about people who overharvest and about plants dying etc. So after
speaking with Lady Lisaera, i have decide to form a Herbalist clan.
You're probably think "Oh another power-hungry idiot who wants a
position in life" Nope, im not power-hungry, heck everything is left up
to anyone who joins the clan.
But before i ask what i need to ask, let me tell you the whole point of
the clan.
You're probably wondering, will she try and enforce laws upon all
herbalists in the realm? The answer would be no, a few rules would be
set if you chose to become a member of the clan yes, but i would not
enforce them nor would i expect everyone to join or swear to obey these
rules.
What would happen if someone did disobey the rules while within the
Clan. The same thing that would happen if you disobeyed Guild rules or
City rules. You'd be removed from the clan, of course.
If she's not trying to enforce the rules, how will overharvesting stop?
I don't expect overharvesting to stop completely. However the rules set
within this clan WILL stop those in the clan to not overharvest. I
expect that if this clan grows large enough, i will be able to speak
with a few Divine and perhaps get them to set some "stone set" rules in
place and perhaps make the clan into it's own organisation of some sort.
I doubt it would happen today or even in the near future, but i hope one
day it may.
The point of the clan is not to stop everyone overharvesting, those of
you who wish to destroy nature can continue to do as you please. Those
of you however who wish to stop this, who want a chance to see the full
beauty of Nature, may get your chance.
Now what is it, that i ask of you? I ask for donations. I bet you saw
this coming and yes i know other people have attempted to come up with
enough donations for a clan, but unlike these people, no matter how long
it may take me. I will succeed. Even if i have to raise all the funds
myself. I shall.
IF you do wish to donate, all you need to do is send your donations to
me, in a letter, with your name on the letter. If you donate a fear
amount, not only will you have the privilege of sending me letters
*Grin* I will also appoint you a position within the clan, perhaps you
will even be leader of it. Those of you who aren't appointed a decent
position, maybe making up some rules yourself would suit you just fine.
One last question? How do you know i won't take all the money i gather
and spend it on something entirely different?.. You don't, you'll just
need to trust a Serenwilde Commune and help out.
Your guardian of the Forests.
