-======Forest Touched======
-  * The forest takes those who it touches, hollowing them out, and sending them back to continue its will.
-  * Some emerge not unchanged...but still themselves.
-  * Reviled by most of society they are mostly treated as outcasts.
-  * This change does however grant them power over life and how it flows through a symbiotic relationship with the seed of the wood inside themselves.
-  * These powers are greatest within the wood.

+======Forest Touched======
+  * The Forest of Loss takes those who it touches, hollows them out, and sends them back as monstrous husks to unknown ends.
+  * However, there are a select few that emerge, not //unchanged//, but still themselves. There was something within them that could not be broken, could not be snuffed out, by the full force of Loss.
+  * This change grants the Forest Touched power over life, and the flow of life, in a symbiotic relationship with the seed of the Forest inside themselves.
+  * Their powers are greatest when within the Forest or its bounds.

+  * In those outer places, they understand the dangers the Forest poses, and appreciate how crucial the Forest Touched are in combating that peculiar menace.
+  * Forest Touched typically fare worse than their counterparts in the social politics of the City. Services are harder to obtain; trust and kinship harder to earn.
+  * In any situation where blame is equally likely to be attributed to any one of a number of people, and one of them is Forest Touched, then it is likely the Forest Touched will bear the blunt of the blame.
