Oak and Thorn
"You dare mention the name of that low upstart in my presence? He is a mouldering lump of compost! He claims to power rightfully mine, but how any could mistake him for King is beyond my understanding. Have you not seen the ignoble hook of his wooden nose? Have you not gazed upon the yellowed, putrescent moss that thins upon his hollow wooden skull? It should be clear to all that I am the rightful King.
"But still he subverts my servants to his cause and sets them against their betters. And, worse, the coward will not challenge me directly, but sets his home far from the forest halls where I keep my court. If I did not value so much the precints of my forest that would be destroyed should I to march to war in full, I would crush that paltry seedling back into the soil that spawned him."
-- Unfallen Verdant Blades, King of the Wood
