Dryads
Dryads are a form of fey that exist as part of the trees. They are shy and reclusive so a traveller may only catch a glimpse of them. Dryads are also inquisitive beings so if you are in their forest they may watch you. If an individual is good looking a dryad might decide to have them for a night. The capital advises you to avoid eye contact if put in this situation.
The capital would also like to advise that individuals should refrain from harming any forest that dryads are known to live in, else you may find yourself not long for this world.
