The verdant groves located in the Preborian Forest's centeral 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.

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 nourishments they need to survive. A dryad is able to separate their body from their tree, though are 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 its trees 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, thrashing and gnawing at anything and everything they come across, consuming its life force in an attempt to stave off their own death.

The dryads view themselves as guardians of the woodlands, and protect it fiercely. Intruders who they believe may harm their forest quickly find themselves assailed with their poison-dipped arrows and fey magic as they dart across the canopies. The dryads, having lost sisters in the past due to lumbering activities done by humanoids, sees all humanoids as threats to their forests, and therefore attack them on sight. Of the fey in the Preborian Forest, the dryads are the ones Marcandrians are most familiar with, specifically because it's usually they who drive off or kill those who dare enter their forest. The dryads' ability to communicate with plants, alongside the interconnectedness of the forest's roots, allows the forest to notify them when it's being harmed. However, the forest's vast size coupled with the dryads not being particularly numerous means they are by no means able to stave all of the Marcandrians lumbering and forest clearing activities along the forest's edge.

The dryads share these groves with numerous other types of fey. Among these are satyrs, a raucous all-male type of fey who enjoys trickery, frivolities, and debauchery. Pixies and sprites build small villages among the grove's boughs. Pixies and sprites are pranksters in their own rights, playing pranks on both their own kind, other fey, and even animals. Quicklings also scurry across the grove's forest floor, and are capricious beings who love nothing more than playing pranks, especially loving it when their pranks causes additional troubles for the one being pranked.
