Dryads are known throughout the whole <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Fenorra</strong> as guardians <strong>of</strong> the forest. Their<br />
longevity <strong>of</strong> an average <strong>of</strong> 500 years gives them<br />
ample time to care for the long living trees.<br />
However, to say they are merely caretakers <strong>of</strong><br />
the land they live on is to diminish the true<br />
nature <strong>of</strong> this race, as they are actually part <strong>of</strong><br />
the forest itself. Their kinship with the forest<br />
causes them to be susceptible to the same<br />
dangers <strong>of</strong> the woods, fire. However it is also<br />
through this kinship that the learning <strong>of</strong><br />
elemental studies comes easier.<br />
These wood nymphs are sometimes hard to spot<br />
as they tend to be dressed in the colors <strong>of</strong> their<br />
native groves, and change their look according<br />
to the seasons. They also have pointed ears like<br />
an elf and their skin is covered with vines or<br />
sometimes other flora. While in times past it<br />
was an extreme rarity to come into contact with<br />
a Dryad; these tough times seem to be drawing<br />
them further into civilization.<br />
These guardians <strong>of</strong> the forest tend to live in<br />
small groups caring for the trees and wildlife<br />
around them. It is because <strong>of</strong> this that they seem<br />
to gravitate towards the art <strong>of</strong> healing. Although<br />
a few have taken up arms in order to defend the<br />
Dryad<br />
land they love however they lack the physical<br />
strength to be fully effective in battle. Dryads<br />
are natural healers as being in tune to the health<br />
<strong>of</strong> others comes as second nature to them.<br />
These lithe beings are used to flitting throughout<br />
the forest and find no restrictions on other<br />
natural terrain. Most Dryads seek to blend in<br />
with their homes as much as possible, hoping to<br />
learn to hide as best as possible amongst the<br />
trees. It is because <strong>of</strong> this that they do not wear<br />
physical armor as it would impede their travels<br />
and ability to be one with nature.<br />
Society as a whole is still learning how to<br />
interact with the Dryads, if only because they are<br />
new to town life. For the most part they are a<br />
happy people that enjoy sharing their knowledge<br />
<strong>of</strong> the forests and the healing arts. It is not<br />
uncommon to find a Dryad helping a townsfolk<br />
who is injured. However the moment their<br />
homes or nature are threatened it is almost as if<br />
the Dryads are another people altogether.<br />
