The defamation of the forests by your hands is something which will be met with suitable blood, this need go without saying. The trees being defiled are not just sources of life and shelter, but they are also sacred symbols that connect the spirits of the forest to their ancestral memories of these lands. Those of the Hammer who bear the teachings of the Wardens are intentionally and intrinsically harming while bringing a severing to their connection to the Ancestors. Truly simplifying the process I have been beseeching for some time to sever said connections, so in this I afford my thanks, as the Ancestors commune and answer such a call with fervor for their lands.
These effigies represent a distortion of the original meaning of the tree and are imbued with a power that destroys Ancestral memory. We can feel the weight of the lost memories and traditions that were once carried by these trees. So too begins with the collective of the White Bears, the Red Serpents and Black Ravens, we have begun a grand communion to strip the powers of Ancestry from those of the Hammer effective immediately. Communion begins, your time numbered, so enjoy the gifts reaped from the Ithmia whilst they last.
The Tribes are not ones to sit idly by while their sacred trees are desecrated, for they have protected these lands long before any of us existed. The balance will be maintained in the price of Death for Life this is a warning to all.
The Animals, Guardians, Ancestors, and the Ithmias themselves prepare.
You have culled yourselves.
By your blood or mine, it matters not.
Until the Inevitable End.
