[QUOTE="Levistus's_Leviathan, post: 8080073, member: 7023887"] Okay, got a bit more lore. [B]Dryads:[/B] During the Faerie War, when the Seelie Court was being reformed as the Society of Radiance, the Archfey decided to change certain aspects of how the different types of fey were created and produced. Happenstance transformed dopplegangers into changelings, St. Labelia turned some centaurs into ichthyocentaurs, and so on. The Green Lord Oberon decided in order to increase the amount of dryads, they needed to allow dryads to reproduce fully independent of any Archfey. In order to do so, he transformed all of the dryads' home oak trees into a male dryad, which became their mate, and allowed dryads to bond to any tree type of their choice. Now, all male and female dryads can choose their mates, as other races do, no longer being linked to any individual tree or dryad. They are also capable of breeding with humans, elves, and half-elves to produce only Hamadryads, and can reproduce with Hamadryads, producing only Dryads. They bind themselves spiritually with any tree of their choice when they reach adulthood, choosing to live near those trees in the woods of the Feywild. [B]Harpies:[/B] After the Great Sacrifice, most of the gods were dead. This was disastrous and a negative event for most of the species of the Inner Planes, but not for all of them. Harpies were one of the races that benefitted from this event. Harpies had been created by the Seldarine, and cursed the elven gods, causing their monstrous nature. After the deaths of the Seldarine Pantheon, the harpies lost their hatred for the elven gods and also lost their inherent hunger for humanoid flesh, which was a bane afflicted upon them by an elven goddess. The harpies started dwelling in forests, using their beautiful voices to attract mates, spread music across the woods, for communication, and to impress travelers to make them more likely to trade. They built houses on the canopies of the forests, woven out of branches, similar to nests. They would hunt prey as they needed, cultivate farms on top of the treetops, and spread their music wherever they could with their voices. They would also trade for food, shiny jewels, tools, and metal objects with other races, and they particularly were fond of dwarves and gnomes, whose stout nature they found amusing. Seyri: Due to the restructuring of the Seelie Court, Queen Tinaria decided that they needed to create a race of Fair Folk with wings, similar to the Umber, but as a Seelie race. Over the course of about 900 years, the eladrin, halflings, huans, gnomes, sprites, and pixies of the surface Feywild eventually formed a race that was melded into the best and brightest features of the Seelie fey. They are a short race of happy and bubbly fey with multicolored fairy wings, spread throughout the Feywild. Followers of the Society of Radiance, the Seyri are a delightful, pointy-eared folk of bards, rogues, sorcerers, warlocks, and paladins.
