Katia: Sects: Difference between revisions

There are those that believe that the path of civilization is corrupting the land. The spread of cities, the corruption of the land to build roads, pastures, additional [[housing]], and especially the [[destruction]] of wild places to make these achievable all upset and even enrage the more fanatical Katian. For example, the forests of [[Mistone]], the once great forest that swathed all of the continent, is now reduced to the small forests of [[Silkwood]], Whitehorn Forest, and Gloom Woods. These fanatics use far more drastic measures to ensure the balance is kept. Oftentimes using tactics that are seen by both the general populace as well as the law as [[evil]] and vile acts. The encouraging of certain wild and dangerous animals to live in areas near a town to prevent its expansion is not uncommon. It is also not uncommon for Katians to guard the wildland borders to keep out trespassers and would-be developers. Others take a more gentle approach and try to minimize the effects that civilization has on nature.
