Coraie Order of Dryads: Difference between revisions

The Coraie (core-eye) order of Dryads is a [[Dryad]] order that resides within the [[Coraie]] Great Tree and its surrounding limb trees on the Warped Isles. AphyllaLyria Sylvaris of the Coraie serves as the head and spiritual leader of the order. The islands are known as the '''Coraie Islands''' to the order. The order is the last known order of Dryads in the world of Alathra. The order has only existed for a short time, and is made from members of the Isameine order of Dryads, who once inhabited the Isameine Great Tree on the isle of [[Lesbis]]. The order is small, containing only a few members.

The history of the Coraie order is marred in tragedy. As origionally, the group iswas only a small number of refugees., Itwhich hashad made adjusting to the islands difficult. In recent history, the order is comprised of a band of dryads whom seem to have come together from all parts of Alathra, even remains of the Isameine order and the original Coraie order.

The Isameine Great Tree was an azalea [[Great Tree]] that existed on the isle of Lesbis. It was home to what is believed to be the last order of Dryads with an estimated population of 170. The spiritual head of the order was the mother of the Dryad Aphylla, former head of the Coraie Order. Approximately 30 years before the formation of the original Coraie order, the Isameine Great Tree was struck by a withering disease. The origin of the sickness is not known. The result was a slow drying and decay of the Great Tree, its suffering was felt by the entire order. After 29 years of sickness, the Isameine could no longer maintain its life, and was struck by lightning during a storm. A fire rapidly spread through the entire tree, burning it to the core. Death from the disaster total over 150. The charred remains of the Isameine still exist there today (''build WIP'').

The centralnorthern island of the Warped Isles is considered to be protected land. Poaching of limb trees, leaves, and vines from this space is considered to be a heinous act, as doing so harms the Coraie themselves due to the binding. The land is often patrolled, and cared for by the Coraie order.
