Dryads

Information
Dryads are the female inhabitants and guardians of the Leighwar forests. They are sometimes also referred to as nymphs. Pure blood dryads tend to have skin tones that ranges between dark to light greens and generally green, brown, or black hair and dark eyes. However, because they mate with other races to produce children, sometimes they can inherit their father's traits, like red hair or blue eyes.

Generally, they wear clothes patched up out of their natural surroundings, like leaves and twigs, making them blend in with the forest, though they can wear more fancy clothes. In some instances, they'll go completely nude.

Skills
They are known for their amazing archery skills and can easily kill a human from the distance of 200 feet without the person ever knowing they were there. They use this ability extensively to mark their border: if an arrow lands at one's feet or in a nearby tree, that's as far as the intruder is allowed to travel alive as the next shot, should they not heed the warning, will kill them. To prevent the decay of bodies from filling the air, the dryads tend to mark their border by the rivers so the bodies can be washed away with the current.

Being dryads, they have a love for the trees, forest, and music and have learned to master abilities to shape trees to their will while not harming the tree itself. As fire is also forbidden in the forest, they instead create makeshift glowsticks by stimulating certain fungi and crafting a wreath out of the plant to make a light source.
