Special Powers	All nymphs are supernaturally beautiful. For any male, if you sees a nymph stark naked & she does not know you, you risk going blind. If she does know you, you risk being enamored. If she knows & hates you, you risk death. Partially nudity can cause bodily reactions that stun an unfortunate male. Straight women, extremely powerful enders, & black enders are immune to this.

Culture	Nymphs live lives of leisure & beauty. If they can manage it, that is. Most nymphs seek to use their beauty to gather to them the sortsof people they wish to be surrounded by, & then to craft a life of leisure out of it. When nymphs live together, it is usual that it is a rich, easy lifestyle they lead, with a large number of servants attending them.

Dryades

Dryades are a subset of nymphs, but they are also green folk and are thus classified under both.

All dryades are beings who create soulbonds with plants. The term "dryad" refers originally to those who bond to oak trees but has become an umbrella term, while those who bond to other trees often have different names and cultural variations, they do not constitute separate species or nation. Indeed, a dryad is born without a tree bond and can choose any tree she likes. All dryades have a dryad form (nymphoid) and hamadryad form (bonded to the plant, almost unified). They are classified as adelfoi because they are all female-assigned at birth, but they are foremost the ordinal elementals of wood.
