I truly don't know if it would work. Man's psychology is all about bringing order to nature. Hmm. I wonder what would happen if the Imperial City became an Urban Forest? If men started planting trees in their yards; if the Sources of Mebhaighl would be repowered.

If you come to Salt Lake City, and look out in some places, you'd wonder why there are so many trees in such an Urban jungle. Anyway, to get back to the Insidious Elven Illuminati (That's all we need, a Darth Sidious running things in one of the Tuars) there are a couple of other loose cannons besides the Magian (who is Birthright's version of Darth Sidious).

The Sword Mage is one particular loose cannon. Gavin Tael can't control "it." The Sword Mage has built a reputation around "it" that allows it to do what "it" wants, despite being Lawful Evil. So, if the Sword Mage perceives an Elvish Illuminati threat, "it" can respond immediately.
