Nymphs are beings who embody a particular type of landscape or terrain who are all female-assigned nations. They were born from the landscapes themselves, willed to life by the Goddess. There are many kinds of nymphs, but they all belong to one species.

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.
