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 />
