Line 1:
Dryads (/ˈdraɪ.æd/;) are a humanoid race of people who currently only reside on the '''Warped Isles''' and on '''Omis'''. They are descended from the island of [[Lesbis]], and now are believed to solelyhave livenearly gone extinct in the Warped Isles, as for a time, that was their sole place of residence. The term Dryad originates from the old Fae name for the Spirits of the Forest, although it has come to describe the Dryads by outsiders. They are often characterized by their taller statures and leafy clothing decorated in beads and jewelry. Dryads also have rough, woody skin with the texture of of a sapling's bark. They live in communal societies around and within [[Great Trees]], forming ''orders''. Dryads have become very talented at camouflaging with the forest around them, and can often be mistaken for a tree in the woods they reside.
 
== Etymology ==
The term Dryad originates from an old legend and mythology. It was initially a term used by the Fae to describe [[Spirits of the Forest]]. Since then it has come to describe another people. In Fae culture, Dryad still refers to both the Spirits of the Forest and the Dryad people.
Line 45 ⟶ 46:
Dryads often group together into orders. These orders will often inhabit a single great tree, and will often die when the great tree does.
=== Language ===
Dryads primarily speak common. Although they have a native language, it has been slowly merged with common. Because of this many words are replaced with their old Dryadic[[Drydaeic]] counterpart. Commonly these are nouns related to materials, objects, or plants.
 
=== Dress ===
Clothing is often constructed of cloth and fibers, either gathered from trade with other people, or woven from vines and grass fibers. Traded materials can cotton, wool, silk, or other foreign threads. These clothes often have leaves and plants sewn into them. Dryads take great pride in the collection of leaves they wear. Often being covered in hundreds of leaves.
