Featured Guild~The Dryads
Posted Tuesday, October 10, 2000 by Elspeth
Dense forests, running streams, forest creatures...all of these a part of the life of a Wood Nymph. Creatures at one with the earth, and in harmony with its being existing in a world far from that of cities and towns.

The Dryads originally made their home in the woods of Neverwinter, a way point for travelers heading to Triboar or Longsaddle. Visitors bearing gifts of chocolate were most enthusiastically welcomed into their midst, as that did, and still does make up the mainstay of their diet. Calling upon the spirits to cleanse the rich food of all calories and fat with the "Chocolate Ritual", they are able to keep trim while enjoying their favorite treat.

With the cataclysm resulting in the fall of Neverwinter, and the resulting mass exodus, The Dryads made their way to the Forgotten Worlds, settling in a grove on the outskirts of the city of Bastille. Here, among the trees and wildlife, they live their lives in relative peace and comfort. Visitors are still welcome in the Grove, more so if they bear tokens of chocolate, there to enjoy the serenity of the forests and streams as a respite from the hustle and bustle of the cities.
