The Forest and Wood nymphs are referred to as Dryads or Hamadryads in Ancient Greek mythology. The wood nymphs were minor goddesses and beautiful nymphs, who were depicted as young maidens who inhabited the trees, woods, groves and forests of Ancient Greece. The Dryad wood nymphs were originally the spirits of oak trees (from the Greek word ‘dryos’ meaning “tree”) but with the passing of time the name was later applied to all tree and wood nymphs. The Dryad wood nymphs were believed to be immortal and lived forever. The forest and wood nymphs referred to as Hamadryads were not immortal, these tree and wood nymphs lived only as long as the trees they inhabited. The Hamadryads were born bonded to a particular tree. (x)

brow, the letter she carried in your hand. Whoever guides you, whoever
guides her, may your souls meet once more in the beyond.“ - Elandrin and Adalene
Dear Bioware, when I said to my friend that I wanted to know the truth
about what happened at Red Crossings prior to DA:I’s release, I didn’t
mean it was alright for you to rip my heart out with some Starcrossed
Lovers and a huge misunderstanding.
Girl In Red Crossing By the inimitably talented @ingridbeast for anyone else who has felt personally victimised by Bioware finally giving us this story for Red Crossing.
I’m actually speechless. The painting is beautiful and that song fits the mood so well.
