Homebrew Dryad Species Details

Dryads are fey born with a Tree, often solitary protectors of a woodland, or forming a chorus that guards forests.  They are the forests voice, beings of great beauty and grace, or gnarled and hard.  They tend to favour natural spaces and tend to shy from civilisation.  Often whimsical and chaotic, they tend to follow their hearts and emotions more so than logic, and can quickly find themselves in trouble with the other races.  Born of nature inside a tree, they have no parents and find the parental relationship of primes foreign and unusual.  

Dryads are on good terms with the more beast like of the races, and elves. they favour those who cherish or respect nature, but harbour a fierce hatred for any who reject nature. such as undead
