The pinnacle of forest spirits, the Spirit King. Governs all plants, trees, and forests of the world, controlling the cycle of nature through will. Shares its name with the Greek Dryad but its status approaches that of a deity. Appears as a massive humanoid composed of trees, and wherever it steps, even barren land instantly becomes a lush forest. Shows extreme hostility toward civilization that destroys nature.
Origin
A being born at the moment the World Tree first took root. Druids equate the Dryad with the Mother of Earth and worship it.
Features
- Commands all plants in the world â can grow or extinguish any plant anywhere
- Governs the entire natural cycle of growth and death
- Possesses the 'Chronicle of the Forest' â memory of thousands of years of natural history
- Grants the contractor 'Nature's Blessing' â any wound instantly recovers within nature
Usage
Continental-scale ecosystem restoration. Legend holds that where the Dryad appears, even dead land transforms into primeval forest overnight.
Weakness
Fundamentally vulnerable to civilization and the fire element. Contracts are granted only to those who sincerely love nature.
