Magic & Lifespan: Legendary magic. Pure neutral, only use it to keep themselves alive or to heal plants & animals. (300-400 years)
Dryads have only recently started making themselves known. Hidden deep within Nivae Forest amongst their allies, the Unitaur. Together they tended to the flora and fauna. Dryads possess powerful healing magic. Their own sap can mend wounds, consuming their bark is said to prolong life, and drinking tea made of their leaves is said to cure otherwise fatal illness. No one yet has ever confirmed any of these claims, but the Satyrs still have tales of them.
They took no sides in the war between the Naga and the Unitaur. Dryads, upon adulthood are virtually indestructible with a core harder than pockholz. They have a soft outer shell that will molt off every five years continually throughout their very, very long lives. Satyrs claim that a gift of this outer bark is excellent for creating musical instruments. They also claim that to be gifted a Dryad's bark is one of the highest honors that can ever be given.
Their leaves are determined by the season in which the reached adulthood. After they've matured, leaves become purely decoration and they can change them at will. It takes two months to change leaves from one season to another.
