Military action
When the Plague War had first started, the Holy Order of Druids had begun discussing their stance on the plague and the situation. With the election of the third archdruid, however, the discussion quickly took a turn for taking advantage of the situation and replant the forest.
As the Plage War became more intense, many of those who had previously been tasked with keeping the forest and the Holy Order of Druids at bay. With those now gone the forest slowly began encroaching on the once-cleared land and once the druids started helping it quickly grew over logging camps and outposts so fast that even the most short-lived races began noticing it.
