"It is said all of nature is joined somehow," Sangar replied. "Some think the creatures of the darker areas of this wood are angry because they've seen what has happened to nature in the rest of the world."<br/><br/>"You mean what humans have done?" Barkeley said with a grimace.<br/><br/>"Not just humans," Sangar replied. "There are many other threats to nature and woods in particular than humans. Plus some creatures, like the centaurs, believe most races are inferior to them but number too few to pose a realistic threat to even Sylvan. Unfortunately the fact they number so few just seems to make them angrier."
