"Treekiller, Treekiller, TREEKILLER!"

As your conscious thoughts are crushed, disturbing images flash before your mind's eye…

Humans from an age long past, hacking at trees centuries old, making them fall in the blink of an eye. Humans setting fire to a wood filled with life, dooming all who flee the flames to landlessness. Humans with sharp metal weapons battling A'Dendri who send their ancients to sacrifice themselves.
