Dryad grove

From Demiurge Games

The dryad node is a small glade in a nearby county inhabited by a conclave of drysads. Recently terrorized by a dire ape that nearly sucked their grandfather oak dry, the dryads called out to Eddie and Jarrod to aide them. Defeating the offending spirit, the two mages were crestfallen as the grandfather oak yielded a single acorn and then withered and died despite their efforts. Eddie planted the acorn as a symbol of hope, and immediately it sprouted, reinstituting the node as its new nexus. The dryads rejoiced and named the two mages guardians of the glade, giving them free access and reign over the node. Since that time Jarrod has begun a homestead on the property to prevent it from being developed by anyone else.
