Message: <blockquote data-quote="Faolyn" data-source="post: 8211915" data-attributes="member: 6915329">Keep in mind that almost nothing has been written about Farelle--there's a small write-up in the black box, but Jack Karn himself doesn't even get a writeup until the fan-made netbook The <a href="http://www.kargatane.com/" target="_blank">Book of Sacrifices</a> (the Book of S series is pretty good). So that being said...Jack doesn't care about the forest. He's not some sort of eco-warrior. He just hates humans (there are reasons). There may come a time when Farelle is completely deforested, but that hasn't happened yet; the humans are low tech and have simple iron axes, not chainsaws. (Also, there's the chance the Dark Powers would simply cause the trees to regrow quickly, or simply create or steal more forest.) Jack's curse is threefold: he hates humans but is stuck in human or hybrid form and can't assume his much preferred jackal form for more than a short period of time. If he tries to personally harm a human, he suffers from crippling nausea. And, of course, despite his best efforts, humans breed like tribbles in Farelle and while he sends jackals, wild dogs, and jackalweres (but not wolves or werewolves, whom he also hates) to attack them en masse (which does a lot to keep the number of humans down), the humans are good hunters.Yep; that's a pretty good take on it. Since we still don't know for certain why the DL's are trapping evil humans, "for their amusement" is a perfectly good answer.Well, I'm willing to talk at length about any part of Ravenloft you might wish to know about, if you have more questions.</blockquote>
