You don't know how to organize a group of individuals and make them move in the same direction? Sounds like the kind of work a soldier would be good at. You know this region as well as any of the fae - what do you think it needs? What does it lack? Figuring that out and doing something about it is the foundation of leadership. I think you'd be good at it."

"Already you're considering how to make it more appealing to draw people in - maybe it's not so bad to be a vacation spot. Stormbreak is an academy city, Torchline is a trading hub, King's End and the Grounds are making a name for themselves as havens for various groups of people... and all of them could use a place to go to relax, let their hair down and get lost in the woods for a while. Maybe this influx of explorers is a sign of what the region does offer; hope, and peace, and healing."
She knew it for a fact, because she felt the healing the Woods offered even as they spoke.
