Explaination of Abilities Description:
Dryads are beautiful and alluring tree nymphs and are magically bound to the life force of a single tree. Usually they appear much like their home tree with colorations of hair that changes with the leaf colors. Dryads are generally gentle, compassionate spirits that rarely take a hand into the affairs of mortals, preferring to help secretly if at all. They will not tolerate harm to come to the part of the forest that they claim as home. Many denizens of sylvan areas claim that Dryads have an amazing power over members of the opposite sex. I can only hope that this is true.

Dryads are rare creatures, but several have been sighted (and befriended) in the Black Oak forest, and forests of Clan Fhearchair lands, as well as other heavily forested areas of the ShadowMist.
