Echo The earth Nymph

Echo The Earth Nymph

Echo being an Oread is one of the most aggressive dangerous nymphs, as they embody the wild might of flames, volcanism, and the hidden forces of the earth. These creatures typically dwell in remote mountain crags and near volcanoes, where they caper among the forces of dissolution and rebirth. During avalanches and volcanic eruptions, groups of oreads might race ahead of the destruction, dancing, singing, and doing what they can to maximize the impending devastation. Honor Among Fey. Hearkening back to some ages-old conflict, oreads refuse to knowingly destroy any land inhabited by another nymph. While they won't work to alter the natural course of destruction, neither will they make another nymph's home part of any calamity they encourage. As a result, part of what makes an allied's field or a dryad's grove seem so blessed is that oreads go out of their way to leave such sites alone. Tales of Fire. The followers of the wild regard oreads with special reverence, some myths tell of cagey smiths befriending these nymphs and convincing them to aid in creating phenomenal works. In some tales, a smith finds an oread and allows it to relish in the destruction of a novel or remarkable item. In recompense, the oread provides the smith with materials drawn from the burning heart of the world, allowing the smith to create an even greater wonder. In more tales, though, a smith pursues an oread, then later the mortal's associates find familiar tools and a heap of ashes.   Nymphs are divine servants that inhabit unspoiled corners of the world, nymphs protect places of natural power and infuse their surroundings with the magic of Nyx. Some are benevolent and aid those who live off the land, while others embody violent aspects of nature. In either case, nymphs generally avoid other sapient creatures, preferring to mind the cycles of nature, the daily interplay of wild animals, or other cosmic forces.  Echo is protected and is a servant of the Wildmother.   Echo is the same fire nymph from myths long ago that speak of a Nymph cursed by an evil goddess because another god fell in love with the nymph.  That divine touch even after the evil goddess power has faded, the curse on Echo has always stayed.  Another telling of this same story says she fell in love with a man who used her and her love grew into hate and she burned his kingdom down.
