Dryads

Dryads are very rare, all female beings born of the forest. They are incredibly rare, and as such, many go their lives without ever seeing one. They are usually kind and quiet creatures, with skin like soft wood, hair like foliage and moss, that turn color with the seasons. They have mostly only ever been seen to fight with a spear, at a distance. Life in the forest has made them close to nature, and its kin. Most Dryads are 5 feet tall, are below average strength, average speed, above average constitution, and average intelligence. Dryads are bound to a single tree, living as long as it, their lives spent defending it and the forest around it. More often than not, Dryads never leave their homes or bound trees. If they did, they would get sick and die. There are rare cases however, that a dryad may receive an acorn from their bound tree. This gift allowed them to travel far and wide, without ever having to worry about sickness or death from separation. The only real concern then was their tree being destroyed while they were away. If their tree dies, so do they. If their acorn is destroyed, they will begin to die, if they are too far. Their hearts can never be touched by darkness unless powerful magics are used.

This race is REVERED by the elves.
