The Watchers of the Forest shall no longer stand idly by while our home is slowly being taken away by these so-called "Civilized Equestrians".

They cut down our home and use its resources for their own personal gain, paving over our land with palaces of greed and decadence. No more protesting, no more peaceful objections to their actions; now is the time to act with a more direct approach.

Their envoys tell us our ways are "primitive" and "outdated", and that we should integrate ourselves into their "modern" society.

They choose to be willfully ignorant of the culture and beauty that have flourished within Millennial Grove for thousands of years.

Now we will show them what it's like to take someone's home away.
