Snow White Hills Blood Bowl Chronicles

There are tales throughout the Old World of beautiful enchanted forest maidens. In Norsca, they are the named Woodwose, in Estalia, the Arumae and in the Empire they are called Dryads. Whatever their name may be, they are described the same: dangerous feminine forest spirits who delight in tempting men. However, despite the great range of the tales, Dryads have only ever been verifiably sighted in the primordial forest of Athel Loren. Why this should be is unknown. Perhaps they are magical constructs, crafted by the mystical Elf witch who is said to rule that realm, or maybe they are actually female Elves who have been somehow transformed by exposure to Athel Loren. I subscribe to another theory. I believe that they are an extension of the forest itself, which explains why they have never been sighted elsewhere. They are a defence mechanism, if you will, for the trees of that magical wood. I have no proof of this; it is merely conjecture on my part for none of the very few Elves who have ever travelled out of Athel Loren have been willing to discuss the matter so the mystery remains.: — Waldemarr, Scholar of Nuln
