	The Dryads are an all female race of Half-Human/Half-Plant tree spirits, who are known for being long lived. ~~A Dryad has~~ the ~~lifespan~~ of ~~a tree and can~~ live ~~for centuries~~, ~~in fact Dryads~~ are ~~not~~ considered mature adults ~~until they are~~ around ~~a hundred~~ years old. ~~Not~~ to ~~mention that they~~ are ~~among the strongest and toughest of the mortal races of the world~~. <br>		The Dryads are an all female race of Half-Human/Half-Plant tree spirits, who are known for being long lived. They are among the strongest and toughest of the mortal races. Most Dryads live between 500 to 600 years, and are considered mature adults around 100 years old. Some dryads who are especially in touch with their tree and nature can live to be around 800 years old, and are highly respected. <br>

	Dryads do not generally discuss their reproduction process with outsiders, but from what can be gathered they reproduce via a semi-parthenogenetic system. Every once in a while, at least two to four times over her lifespan if not more, a Dryad will become pregnant and her partner tree will produce a seed – the baby's partner tree. After twelve months of gestation an infant dryad is born and is introduced to her tree in a special religious rite, during which the seed is planted. As the Dryad grows the seed, her partner tree, will sprout and grow right alongside her. She is actually the spirit of her partner tree. This process can happen to any mature dryad, but having sex (with a male or a female) greatly increases the chance of it occurring. It is uncommon for the process to occur in a dryad who is not yet a hundred years old but it does happen from time to time – especially depending on what kind of tree she is a spirit of.<br>		Dryads do not generally discuss their reproduction process with outsiders, but from what can be gathered they reproduce via a semi-parthenogenetic system.

If a dryad remains fairly celibate then the process will usually only occur once or twice a century.<br>

	The religious rites and ceremony surrounding the introduction and planting of the seed is considered to be a very private matter. One of the highest honors a Dryad can pay to another person (another Dryad or an outsider) is to invite them to the ceremony. Knowingly crashing one of these ceremonies is taken extremely seriously and could very well start off a blood feud.<br>		The religious rites and ceremony surrounding the introduction and planting of the seed is considered to be a very private matter.

	Chamlek is an ancient nation that was founded in the dim ages of the past, during the years before the Alfar Empire was founded. Many believe that Chamlek was the birth place of the Dryads or something called them there long long ago, as Dryads (regular Dryads not Iron Dryads) are rarely found outside of Chamlek save for a few small pockets. But the Dryads have ever been a secretive and insular group, and they had little to do with the Alfar Lords save for some minor trade. <br>		Chamlek is an ancient nation that was founded in the dim ages of the past, during the years before the Alfar Empire was founded.

	The third emperor of the Five Good Emperors actually issued a decree closing the borders of Chamlek to outsiders from the empire, save those with the permission of the Dryad's High Council. This decree helped to release certain tensions and keep the peace, though it was later revoked by the Tyrant. Trade and the like was still conducted, though never in any large capacity, by trusted traders who were allowed into the forests or by Dryads who would travel to the cities outside of Chamlek.<br>		The third emperor of the Five Good Emperors actually issued a decree closing the borders of Chamlek to outsiders from the empire, save those with the permission of the Dryad's High Council.

			Weapons: <br>
			* Dryad Thornbow - The famed Dryad Thornbow is a hand crafted masterpiece in the style of well known Alfar Longbows. Despite being made of wood the heavily enchanted bow is as a strong and tough as if it were made out of admantium. The arrows, known as thorn or Dryad's thorns, are equally masterpieces. Each arrow is enchanted to pierce armor, bodies, and similar things and then unleash a deadly poison or spell. Soldiers and adventurers who have faced the Dryads speak things like the arrow turning into a plant that grows inside of the person hit, among many other things. The Thornbow is the primary and favored weapon of the Dryad Rangers.

			* Dryad Warblade - The Dryad Warblade is actually part of the longsword family of weapons. They are best known for their distinctive leaf shaped blade and for being made out of some strange treated and polished wood. Though it is not as heavily enchanted as the Dryad Thornbow is, the wooden blade is still as strong and hard as if it was made out of admantium. Not to mention the keen edge these swords can carry. Dryad Rangers are taught to channel their inner magic and link to nature through these blades and they tend to crackle and glow with a strange lightning that is the green of a forest.
