Patroned by [[Gaia]] Herself, the council was led by five Hierophants, the first being Mysti, Mandrake, '''Rahl''', '''Treant''', and '''Galdrion'''. | ||
The foundation of the council is the [[Oakstone Charter]], a document outlining the structure and jurisdiction of the council, and most importantly the laws regarding nature.

== Summary of Enemyable Crimes == | |||
''Every natural area shall be under Oakstone's protection. The gardens within city walls are no exception, Oakstone protects them from extermination, fires and overharvesting.'' ~ Excerpted from the Oakstone Charter | |||
The following actions are grounds for immediate enemy status to Oakstone, also known as forest-enemying: | |||
*Mass Overharvesting: three or more offenses within ten years. No plants may be harvested below 10 per location. | |||
*[[Extermination]], [[holocaust]] or [[inferno]] within a forest, jungle or garden location. | |||
Those who assist in these crimes or hide an act of extermination, holocaust or inferno shall be prosecuted as if they had performed the act themselves. | |||
Slaying of [[treekin]] within the Black Forest and minor accounts of overharvesting (one or two instances) do not carry enemy status as a direct result, but non-payment of any fine within six months is cause for enemy status until such time as the fine is paid. | |||
