<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> <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>

<p>&nbsp;</p> <figcaption>A dryad's tree in the Verdant Groves. (Generated by Dall-E. Prompt: “A cinematic painting of a magical and mystical grove by the side of a river in a primeval forest, centered around a couple of large, thick trees. These trees are the focal points of the grove, with a small meadow-like clearing surrounding them. The grove is infused with fey enchantment, featuring verdant green flora and mystical elements in deep oranges, blues, and purples. The scene includes the riverbank with a mix of mundane and magical flora, showcasing the serene and enchanting environment beside the flowing river. No animals or fey are included, focusing solely on the vibrant flora and the prominent trees.”)</figcaption>

<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 verdant groves located in the Preborian Forest's central and eastern regions have a beautiful mystical and enchanting look to them.

<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> <p>The dominant and most influential type of fey in the Preborian forest's verdant groves are the dryads.

<p>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.</p> <p>The dryads view themselves as guardians of the woodlands, and protect it fiercely.
