History

Dendric are descendants of the dryad, the original wood fey of Pelithos, awakened at the beginning of the Gilded Age. When the Dark Age began, all fey were faced with the Endless Night. Unlike other mortals, the unaging fey would become irreversibly corrupted by the moon's darkness. Some dryad took a magical concoction called the Potion of Slumber. This potion transformed the dryad into tree-like creatures whose slumbering spirits were protected from the corruption of Night, in the hopes that the Dark Age would eventually end, and they could be awoken.

These groves of sleeping dryad slumbered for centuries until the Dark Age ended. However, the waking process has not worked entirely as intended, resulting in the awoken creatures becoming known as the dendric. Dendric are larger than dryad and appear more tree-like. They are also prone to prolonged sleep cycles.
