==Summary==
Dryads are forest spirits and guardians of the plants within them, generally residing within the trees. Dryads are peaceful by nature (though not unwilling to fight), and are often considered to be exemplary messengers of the gods- including the likes of Corellon Larethian and Erevan Ilesere.
Dryads tended to take the shape of fair maidens (though this was not always the case), and their hair changed color with the seasons. They were known to grow sick if they left their trees, though this could be combated by carrying an arcane acorn from their tree.
