<p>The most distinctive separation one can make among the relations between the forest's fey are between those living in the Verdant Groves in the forest's center and east versus those living in the more gloomy, tangled, and fetid Gloomswamp in the forest's west.</p>

<h3>The Verdant Groves of the Dryads</h3>

<p>The verdant groves located in the Preborian Forest's central and eastern regions have a beautiful mystical and enchanting look to them. The presence of the Fey that inhabit them have slowly caused these groves to be suffused with the magic of these fey beings, making the groves reflect their magical and mystical nature. The flora in these groves are of the most verdant greens, with more mystical looking leaves, flowers, and fruits of deep oranges, blues, and purples also being heavily featured. These groves have both a mix of mundane flora, alongside more mystical looking and sometimes magic infused flora typically only associated with the Feywild. Plants here will on occasion uproot themselves and decide to re-locate, before re-rooting and seemingly turn back into regular plants again. The animals living in and near these groves similarly tend to have vibrant furs and healthy bodies. A few of these animals will on occasion get accidentally infused by the prevalent fey magic that exists in these groves, causing them to become a more unique looking, at times more intelligent, version of their species.</p>
<p>The dominant and most influential type of fey in the Preborian forest's verdant groves are the dryads. They are a form of all-female tree-spirits, each bound to a single tree that acts as both their home and life-force, providing them with all the nourishment they need to survive. A tree in these magically suffused groves will become a new dryad generally once every few years, with a tree outside the groves turning into a dryad on rare occasions. A dryad is able to separate their body from their tree, though is only able to receive nourishment from it so long as the ground they stand on remains connected to the tree's root. The dryads in the Preborian forest are able to traverse almost the entire forest due to most of it forming a single interconnected root structure. A dryad who leaves the area connected to their tree's root structure quickly dies. A dryad whose tree gets cut down goes mad, and quickly die unless she can find some other life-force to sustain her. This most often involved thrashing and gnawing upon anything they come across to consume its life force in order to stave off their own death.&nbsp;</p>

<li>East: Aside from the hilly landscape that exists throughout the forest, the eastern part of the forest also features a low-lying landscape with gentle depressions, flat terrain, and perhaps even some natural basins. This topographical feature allows water to collect and pool in the low areas, creating a landscape that's prone to waterlogging. As a result, the soil in the eastern part of the forest retains water for more extended periods, contributing to the formation of wetlands.</li>
