"So what?"
"The Black Forest, I know it much better than you all."
Andrew crossed his arms, looking at the young man with extreme suspicion. They had dealt with the Black Forest all their lives, and now a stranger was telling them he knew the forest better than they did. That feeling was even more absurd than trying to teach an expert their own trade, it was simply unfounded arrogance.
Brand merely smiled, "It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. Think back, before the Age of Chaos, the area of Vorn was less than a quarter of what it is today. Who was it that opened such vast territories, turning the thorn-ridden Black Forest into today's land of civilization?"
Andrew felt a bit proud, "It was the Druids."
