The Root Council
Tree roots have broken into the council chamber and taken seats—literally—pushing chairs aside and tapping the floor in deliberate rhythm. The mayor wants them burned; druids want hearings. Translate the root-taps, represent the town in a debate older than its charter, and decide whether law will bend for the forest.
