That is the problem. The wilds were fine and dandy with all the enemies in Thera flocked around Fortress or Palace. Since Fort has wilderness to hide in, I would camp there instead of the Palace. It was my philosophy that, while the Fortress were not all innocent, that they made good allies in the dire times of me being the only warder. If the grove had remained strong, I wouldn't have cared about traveling with the Fortress.

Luckily I was around to enjoy Starkad's reign. I was close to leaving the Grove with you as captain anyway, before you kicked me out. You were terrible, sacrificing yourself and others needlessly at the Spire, no plans, tactics, etc. And just because I accidentally ate some grapes and became a woman, you didn't want me back in the Grove? By accidentally eating grapes that I truly did not know what they did, you would consider me untrustworthy? I am not sure what you mean here. I got back in the Grove because a decent Captain let me in, knowing that I was a loyal and true warder.
