Tree Sprites

Tree sprites are tiny fairies. They live near the Elder Willow and protect its grove. There are also tree pixies, mentioned in Book 4, The Balborite Curse. 
== First Appearance ==
Dragon Stones
==Description==
Tree sprites have light green skin and can glow like fireflies. They have clear wings that look like those of a butterfly. They are intelligent and wild. They use raw, erratic, and capricious magic. In great numbers, they can be immensely powerful because they can draw essentially unlimited power from the forest. Tree sprites can attack with thorns, bees, or small spells. One sprite is an annoyance, a dozen could kill a man, and a hundred could take down a strong mage like Tallin. When in large groups, tree sprites can let out a shriek that first leads to nausea, then after further exposure, it renders those who hear it unconscious.
==Protection of Elder Willow==
Tree sprites guard the grove around the Elder Willow and the Elder Willow itself, where Chua Hakmorr and his dragon Starclaw reside. Despite their wild nature, they tolerate Chua's presence and usually let his guests be.
== Death ==
When Skera-Kina came to the Elder Willow in Rise of the Blood Masters, she used black magic to kill the tree sprites. They were helpless to withstand the spell and died by the hundreds. Between Skera-Kina's spell and the grove being incinerated, it is unlikely any of them survived the attack.
