Partly for the normal Druidic reasons, but also because the wilderness around the Sword Coast is very dangerous, and would engender many lives if greatly disturbed.  Kid spent a few years with them from 11-13/14, and her view of that mission mixed with her experiences of being a poor refugee on the edges of Waterdhavian society, and many books she has read on civics and economics, to form a fairly radical view. Kid: “Of course! We have to stop the cities from constantly expanding, which they only do because the greed of the elite. The root cause is the economic system that governs the Sword Coast, and like a rotting wood that endangers the whole forest, we gotta burn it down. The system of aristocracy will tumble down without that foundation, and we can replace it with a system by and for the people!”  EE: “That…isn’t what we said, but I like your spirit!”</blockquote>
