Keepers of Memory

The green enchantresses is an eternal Dryad that guides the Sisters of the Vale; they are the keepers of the old ways; holding the knowledge of the rites and terms of pacts made in past eras. They uphold fey and men to their words, even if those where uttered thousands of years ago. Above all else, they commemorate the memory of their fallen sisters and watch over the worldroots, knowing the story of each. So too are they versed in ancient Curses, of words that can sap strength or cause their victim to fly into a rage so consuming that it slaughters its own kin without compunction. Over their eternal life, they learn the magical secrets of the worldroots, gaining powerful abilities.

Eternal Guide

The green enchantress never ages and succumbs to injury only briefly. Should she be slain, her siblings place her body upon a bier of root and ivy, and bear it away to the hallowed halls beneath a vale of tears. There, she slumbers away the weeks and months until the arrival of a new spring, where the roots of Magic and life-energy restores her to existence. Only if her tree is destroyed or her body irretrievable or mutilated beyond all recognition does her spirit flee the mortal world, leaving her bereaved sisters to exact vengeance on her slayer.
The green enchantresses have a deeper connection with worldroots magic. She can channel her inner power through it.

Otherworldly Patron: Archfey.

The mystical senses of a Green Enchantress see far and wide, her gaze reaching beyond the borders of her vale. Sometimes, when a mortal catches her sight or she is in need of an inconspicuous agent, she will wait for it to fall in battle or orchestrate his Death and then offer to save him, replacing his heart by a worldroot. Those so blessed receive magic and power, becoming warlocks. A Green Enchantress’ motivations are at times inscrutable, but will often involve keeping the mortal and fey world separated, forcing a party to uphold their end in a mystical bargain or keeping an ancient evil contained.

There, she was faced with a choice, calling on nature's power was taking a heavy toll on her, but she had to continue to save her people. One fateful day, her lover, Nillian, was brought to her, grievously wounded. Brought to tear by the state of the one she loved, she gave up everything she had to save him, the nature extending its influence on the druid's body, transforming her as the world roots themself were giving her the power she needed. On this day, Eithne became the very first dryad and saved her lover.

The adventurers learn of ruins within the woods, Evandor's rest, and are informed that clearing the ruins will grant them access to the shelter.
THe adventurers cleared the ruins before presenting themselves again in front of Eithne. Honoring their deal, Eithne grants them permission to use the ruins as they see fit. The main force of the elven rebels joins the adventurers in the Wood of the Vale, establishing a camp in the ruins that they begin to clean and transform into a suitable home.
