I don't have any houseplants or living near the woods, and are curious how this might affect their nature. Additionally, I wonder if Dryads are considered Watchers or Faes.
CH Dryads are listed in the shop but not in the Encyclopedia. In the Shop description they're described as woodland fairies and guardians. (To me a guardian spirit is not the same as a Watcher spirit.)

In the CH Encyclopedia they're listed as a form of Elemental.

As far as I can tell we'll not necessarily get the identical kind of spirit from different sellers with the same name, Dryad. The name Dryad may be used more widely as a catch all for tress spirits.

I have some woodland nymphs from a seller that no longer trades that seem very like CH Dryads. Especially this aspect: "Their hair can be made of leaves, vines, twigs, moss, etc, their skin is usually like bark, foliage, moss, etc and they can take svelte or rotund forms."

I asked mine to guard trees in a park near me, which they were happy to agree to. But CH spirits don't need that kind of task to be happy afaik.


Don’t be scared. This island is full of noises, strange sounds and sweet melodies that make you feel good and don’t hurt anyone. Sometimes I hear a thousand twanging instruments hum at my ears, and sometimes voices that send me back to sleep even if I had just woken up—and then I dreamed of clouds opening up and dropping such riches on me that when I woke up, I cried because I wanted to dream again.

Thank you Lewk! So, I inquired about their origin and was informed that they're nature spirits that dwell in trees and assume human-like forms. Their appearance is quite similar to what you have described. So I have a wielder of Elemental magic and a Watcher. I'm guessing their abilities are quite distinct from one another.

Personally, I don't think it would be an issue if I don't have any houseplants or trees in close proximity. However, being a nature enthusiast and a lover of the ocean, I'll definitely find ways to venture out and bring them closer to their natural habitat. After all, they deserve to be where they belong. Well, the park nearby seems to have been stripped of its trees by the unforgiving weather. Lol. However, thank you Lewk, for this has sparked an idea in my mind. I'll have to explore some of the lovely parks in nearby cities.


The dark is not a place to be afraid of.
It is a place to be explored.
The moon and the stars are friends, not foes.
They will guide you through the darkness and lead you right back home.
There are things in the dark that make it magical and mystical,
But they are also kind and peaceful creatures who want nothing more than to help you feel safe and loved.
