The Dryads are female spirits of nature who preside over the groves and forests. Each one is born with a certain tree over which she watches - she comes into existence with it and often lives in a tree. Dryad females are very pretty, but not stunningly beautiful; they are very slight in build, appearing child-like sometimes even when they are very old. Indefinite in life spans, they are very long lived, but also tend to not keep track of the years.The lives of the Dryads are critically connected with that of their trees; should the tree perish, then she dies with it. If this is caused by a mortal, the gods will surely punish him for that deed. The Dryads themselves will also punish any thoughtless mortal who would somehow foolishly or cruelly injure the trees. Wherever there are large wooded areas it is likely that there are Dryads.
