E4 — Dryad Grove
Cedar Court · Area 4
Dryad Grove
Read Aloud
Here the paths narrow between immense trunks whose roots rise like gentle walls. Small living alcoves nestle among moss and cedar bark, their entrances screened with vines and flowering branches. The hush feels deliberate, as though the trees themselves are listening. A few dryads tend the roots with careful hands and watch strangers with reserved curiosity.
GM Notes
These are the homes and bonded trees of the court's dryad residents. Treat the grove as private living space rather than a public market or dungeon. Respectful visitors may gain hospitality, learn about the danger the blight poses to bonded trees, or seek a guardian's advice. Trespassing or damaging roots should carry a social consequence, not an automatic fight.
