Sylvans are a large group of intelligent races: Roughly divided into Elves, Fairies and Nymphs. Common to all sylvans is a bit of irrelevance and “free spirit”, also none of the sylvans grow old or die of old age in the timespans of men.
Felling a dryad's tree or polluting a naid's lake brings death and disease to these nymphs. born with the first sprout to emerge from the seed or the first drops to collect in the folds of the land, nymphs rarely stray far from the ecological or geographical features that give them life. Guarding the waters, trees or hills, and engaging in dances, frollics or feats, nymphs desire little else from existence.
