While the Kingdom has had a violent past, it has been mainly directed by the different species within it with direct threats faced from other worlds seeking to gain their magical powers happening roughly once or twice per 150 years or so. Eileen had joked years ago one could set one’s sundial by this. For all its faults the Kingdom has not sought to conquer other worlds, mainly defend itself against those wishing it harm. However the realm is not above exporting its ideas to other places, Earth being a particular target, as the Kingdom would love to restrict mankind’s pollution and violence. The outright use of magic here would, it is felt cause more problems than it solves, so it is a question of “selling” the idea. The Kingdom watches the environmental lobby with considerable interest. Whilst humans are still warlike, this lot are the least warlike imaginable and that suits the realm well.
Earth wildlife programmes are admired though mainly for the contents rather than the humans producing or presenting them. FNN has yet to do a similar programme but when your average creatures include dragons, getting close up and in depth films on these is only for the very brave, which is one thing Roherum admits he is not! Also there is a quiet debate as to whether orcs and trolls should be studied as many in the Kingdom would argue argue they were wildlife too. Naturally this is a quiet debate as nobody wants to kick start the riots of yesteryear again. Underwater wildlife programmes are especially admired though the Kingdom despairs of what humanity has done to its seas.
Trees are considered incredibly important in the Kingdom, partly because so many of them are used for transport and their role in providing oxygen is appreciated more here than it is on Earth. Timber is used in building materials but only from select, non-transport trees, which are harvested in a sustainable way. Trees thrive well in a good magical environment, they wither, even burn away in a bad one. While there are barren areas made that way thanks to magical fighting, most places do have trees and even the sprites don’t damage them. (They damage other plants, buildings and so on but give the trees a wide berth, sprites have been known to use the transporter type as getaway vehicles).
