Greetings all,


Until such time as the Lorekeeper guild or the City of Kinsarmar
actively enter this war, I will be suspending my personal totem
implanting or maintenance operations for grove locations. Existing sites
will not be uprooted, as that is a breach of contract in my mind, but at
present the state of war involves totems as a primary weapon and while
remaining neutral there will be a moratorium on new work there. Avowed
non-combatants will still receive full totem services. Should this be
abused, I ask to be notified by word rather than blade so the situation
can be remedied.

This war is carving a great rift in our land. If we still seek to end it
with diplomacy rather than endless bloodshed it would be well, I think,
to cease feeding arms into the struggle. Please do not interpret this as
an abandonment of the Forestals, I just feel it would not be wise at
this time to continue to dot the landscape with new fixtures of weaponry
while claiming neutrality.

Respectfully,

Sir Sulimo Veliryan
