Homebrew Dryad Species Details
Forest Wanderers
Many of the dryads that venture out into the world are disenfranchised forest spirits seeking justice or revenge for the destruction of their woodlands. Others have observed some aspect of mortal life that they themselves lack,and they become obsessed with understanding it. The spirit that drives mortal Humanoids to undertake grand quests and sacrifice everything for principle has stirred many dryads causing them to abandon their idyllic existence in the name of seeking something more.
