> Unless the Scarab in question can somehow explain to Scarabaeus that he feels the Sylvan in question is not deluding himself and is actually serving nature out of his own base, primal self interests... I don't see it.
Nature need not be the entity most Warders subscribe to. It can
be a state of mind.. allowing yourself to manifest those basic
primal instincts. Civilization seeks to crush such instincts by
buying into philosophies and thinking that cloud your mind. A
Warder can seek to lift this "fog".
Nature can be very much about base, primal instincts. It doesn't
*have* to be about servitude.
With my last Warder, Ingvar and I would have been at each others
throats quite literally. But, I always saw an interesting potential
with a wood-elf scarab (and some scarabs in general), and a neutral warder.
I don't see them being on opposite sides of the fence.
Now tell me.. is this possible, Mac?
