🐉 Spirits

Nymph — Lesser Forest Spirit

The lowest rank among forest spirits. A small spirit dwelling in trees, flowers, and grass — one of the spirits most familiar to humans. Appears in the form of a young girl or fairy, strongly bound to a specific tree or flower. Weakens when its bound plant is harmed; grows stronger when lovingly tended.

Gnome · Earthworm — Lesser Earth Spirit

The lowest rank among earth spirits, appearing in two forms: Gnome as a small subterranean creature, and Earthworm as a form that burrows through the ground like an earthworm. It dwells in mines and underground, instinctively sensing the condition of minerals and soil. Generally friendly to humans and may reveal the locations of treasure or ore veins.

Hamadryad — Intermediate Forest Spirit

The intermediate rank of forest spirits. A spirit fully bound to a single tree, more powerful than a Nymph but with equally greater dependency on its own tree. Dwells in ancient trees hundreds of years old, taking a half-human, half-tree form with bark-like skin and branch-like hair. Shows no mercy to those who threaten its tree.

Sylvan — Superior Forest Spirit

The superior rank of forest spirits. Rather than a single tree, it governs an entire forest as its conscious domain. Appears in humanoid form with antlers and bark-textured skin, its appearance changing with the seasons — flowers in spring, lush leaves in summer, autumn foliage in fall, bare branches in winter. Tests those who enter the forest and causes the unworthy to permanently lose their way.

Grand Sylvan — Supreme Forest Spirit

The supreme rank of forest spirits. Connected to all of a continent's forests rather than a single forest, it executes the will of the Dryad Spirit King. Its body is composed of branches from a World Tree thousands of years old, and a great tree grows on the spot where it kneels. Witnesses report that flowers bloomed in its footprints as it walked.

Gnoeanenn — Supreme Earth Spirit

The supreme rank of earth spirits, positioned just below the Oread Spirit King. Capable of directly manipulating continental plates. Its body is composed of various crystallized minerals, and the surrounding terrain convulses whenever it appears. Witnesses report it appeared as though an entire mountain was walking.

Saleana — Supreme Fire Spirit

The supreme rank among fire spirits, positioned just below the Phoenix Spirit King, with near-complete dominion over the fire element. Appears in a form somewhere between humanoid and dragon, capable of creating a wide-area vacuum inferno by consuming surrounding oxygen. Occasionally entrusted by the Spirit King to command the lower fire spirits.

Dryad — Forest Spirit King

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.
