In the lands of the Tiger and Wolf Nomads there is silence save the rushing of wind over the now barren plains. Here and there a burned settlment and the twisted iron of new tracks that barely had a chance to be put to use.
In the rugged lands of Perren and Sepia, shattered buildings slowly brought down so new can be built. Bodies cleared away, shattered robot remains collected for later study. Or simply to be melted down.
And deep in Vesve Forest, the soft glow of candles illuminating the darkness. And Siobhan Silirevnur, her green and gold uniform still showing the rips and blood of wounds since healed. In the golden flickering light of the candles she takes a brush, starting to write:
To Iuz the Mighty and to the Union of Oerth, formly known as the Dark Union,
Greetings. The Oerth has suffer grievous wounds these last few months. Repairing the damage will take a a long long time. Others are working on the Blood Wastes. But in the interest of peace and good will we wish to offer to you a similar deal to what we share with our allies in the Oerth Alliance. Set aside an area of forest free of technology, a place where it is banned. We will enhance it and help it grow and prosper. The area remains under your control, subject to your laws. And open to all to visit and enjoy. It will not be used as a place to spy or teleport soldiers. Our concern is with healing the Oerth and that process will take measures great and small. We only ask the area be kept free of technology and logging is limited to the old and broken trees that must be cleared.
Warmest regards, Siobhan Silirevnur, Emissary of the Seelie.

To Nyx Flutterbye, Congratulations on the promotion for felling that last robot in Vesve. I'm afraid you won't have long to rest. We have refugees coming to the forest..I'm sure you can imagine why. Set up camps, please, arange for shelter and sustinance for them. And let them know the rules. the forest is a sacred place, beautiful, magical. They are welcome to share it's glory and welcome to help us rebuild. For those who wish to plunder or dispoil the forest, a warning. The forest is precious, we will not tolerate any assault on it. Obey our rules or..well..the forest can always use a few more toads. Be as gentle as you can...we need to help these people. Only if they insist on flouting our rules should action be taken. Warmest regards, Siobhan Silirevnur, Glittering White Flame of Titania.

My dearest Kalanyr, I've heard much of your part in the battles. I look forward to a first person account though. It sounds very exciting and terrible. there is also much else to discuss, in person. I have some plans, but i'll save that for when we can talk. Take care. Hugs and kisses, Siobhan.

In the other forest under threat, the faerie are the weaker element. I'm sure the Unseelie and Lost elves are powerful enough to save the forest if needed. So the faerie will try to help the people in need and perhaps curb excesses in punishment.

Edena, the craters created by the anti-matter are free of radiation and other taint, yes? Just making very sure before we start doing anything there.

To the Angels,
I understand your concerns. We will not oppose or hinder you. However, we are encouraging our people to stay. The Oerth needs everyone it can get. To rebuild and heal. We believe in freedom of choice, though, and will respect the choices of our people. If you truly wish to help the people of this place, we ask you to provide food and healing for those staying. We do not wish or require any military help. But humanitarian aid would be welcome.
