An ancient forest rich with the warm mossy aroma of trees and all things green, home to many magical and mystical creatures. Woodland elves are said to live here, perhaps you will meet some if you journey deeper into the green woods.
This is the dryad grove where the wood nymphs Kaiya and Gaia live, guardians of nature they were born at the same time as the trees they live in, their destiny to protect the trees for all time. Should any harm or injury happen to the tree then the dryad will also feel the pain of it, and will then try to use her nature magic to heal the tree, draining her own energy in the process. Fortunately rest and fresh woodland berries will restore this lost energy eventually. Should the tree ever die, then the dryad will also die, however the oak trees which dryads live in are very long lived and can exist for many hundreds of years. The bond between an dryad and her tree is far stronger than any normal bond or love for an home, there are even legends that these wood nymphs can understand the meanings of the rustling of the leaves of trees, and interpret the deep barely heard sounds of the branches and roots as they move and grow. And that they can use this language to communicate with and understand the needs of the trees they tend to and protect.
A dryad, will never venture far from her tree, and spends her days talking to the tiny woodland animals and dancing with the butterflies in her grove. Shy and wary they are adept at hiding so effectively in their tree that an human could be within an few feet of one and not know that she is there, so remember if you think you hear an tree rustling at you then it could be an dryad hiding shyly from you. Unless of course the tree is trying to talk to you.
