Saint Thalia, we thank you for this harvest and present you with this gift. Show us your generosity until the end

Essence of Earth

The same as other Elemental Folk, Dryads have the essence of their element. In their case it is of course earth. Dryads are born of earth and turn to earth after death. During their lifetime, the essence makes them the best earth mages in the world. They also have a connection with earth and feel when something bad happens with it. There is a lot of stories about Dryad coming to place where earth was being polluted to stop it.

Saints

Some of the Dryads were chosen by Petra to aid her in rulling the seas. They were the so-called saints. They were the most loyal Dryads and were rewarded with immortality. In religious practices they were very imporant even if they were below Petra in the hierarchy.
