Faritha smiled, "Of course, your highness. I suspected as much and have brought over some of the documentation just in case. "I would like you to know that, Korsovan are my people. Your nation is a haven to those of us in the world chafing under old stagnant systems. In a short few years you have managed to spur your kingdom into one of the imminent economic and cultural powers." There were more powerful militaries. The orc tribes were far stronger than Korsova, but not nearly as unified.<br/><br/>She spread the papers out before the queen. They were mostly readiness charts and maps. Specifications on elven magic. All things Ileosa could internalize due to her lofty position over every other ruler in the land. "The elven magics are strong but limited to the forests. My former rulers were not as outgoing, seeing other races beneath them they gave up many of the outposts and foreign garrisons. They would much rather focus on their great forest. Yet, even they no longer wish to grow the forest, only setting their sights on pruning their old growth. Old trees are fantastic, but they do not spread many seeds to the wind."<br/><br/>She leaned back and sipped her drink, "I don't think you can win territory from the elves, but you will deal them a hefty blow. Still, we need to be sure to draw them out of the forest. The time of the old elven empire may be coming down to some kind of death."<br/><br/>Faritha looked out at the green devouring large chunks of the capital. Elves brought trees with them even when they became citizens of another nation. "Elven magic works in harmony with life. Trees are great ancient repositories of life. It allows us to pull it out of the world around us. Taxing it will of course kill the trees. Taking them out onto the grasslands will limit the magic they can do, but with so many ancient trees you'd be hard pressed to wound an elf enough to incapacitate them, never mind slaying them."<br/><br/>Faritha went over elven magic. No other race had found a way to pull magic from the universe. In a sense the elves only copied the way of the magical beasts of the world, nature was the font of all magic and they simply grew it, fostering it. "Choose your place of battle and I think you  can send them into a route easily enough, however, let them retreat to some forest or heaven forbid their own home forest and you will find the battle much more one-sided. Use their hubris against them."
