'''[[Sacred 2:Dryad Class Chain Quest|Dryad Class Quest (Light Path)]] Introduction:''' "I'm from the deep woods. My heart beats in tune with nature and my soul draws its power from the mystical force of the trees. But the world's destiny forced me to leave my home and fight to prevent nature's destruction. I spare no pains for this aim."

'''[[Sacred 2:Dryad Class Chain Quest - Shadow|Dryad Class Quest (Shadow Path)]] Introduction:''' "Once, the forests were my home. I believed that under the protection of nature I would live forever, far away from the quarrels of this world. Still, I had to realize this was an illusion! Thus I decided to leave the forests and to take my stand on the stage of this world. Wherever my journeys will take me, I shall not lost track of my ambitions."

Entire areas of their habitat have been destroyed by uncontrolled T-Energy, and creatures that the energy didn’t destroy mutated to powerful monstrosities, which are now haunting their forests.

The Dryad

The Dryads are descendants of renegade Elves who withdrew to the western islands in ancient times. Dryads live as one with nature and are masters of nature magic. They’re also well-skilled with ranged weapons such as bows or blowguns.

The Dryad is an adept of ranged combat. She has also mastered the magic of nature, and even practices dark voodoo, which she can use to collect shrunken heads from her enemies!

The Story

Dryad Class Quest (Light Path) Introduction: "I'm from the deep woods. My heart beats in tune with nature and my soul draws its power from the mystical force of the trees. But the world's destiny forced me to leave my home and fight to prevent nature's destruction. I spare no pains for this aim."

Dryad Class Quest (Shadow Path) Introduction: "Once, the forests were my home. I believed that under the protection of nature I would live forever, far away from the quarrels of this world. Still, I had to realize this was an illusion! Thus I decided to leave the forests and to take my stand on the stage of this world. Wherever my journeys will take me, I shall not lost track of my ambitions."

The Dryads live a secluded life in harmony with their environment. They go hunting, they are skillful in using poison and traps and they observe their traditions diligently. Most of them never see life outside their homeland and generally, they are not interested in affairs beyond their borders. Their tight bond with nature bestows abilities deriving from the very strengths of the wilderness upon these fighters of the forest. The most powerful of the Dryad hunters are even knowledgeable of the dark arts of Voodoo.

Despite being cut off from the rest of the world, even the Dryads are being affected by the changes that the Great Machine is causing. Entire areas of their habitat have been destroyed by uncontrolled T-Energy, and creatures that the energy didn’t destroy mutated to powerful monstrosities, which are now haunting their forests.

The Paths

The hunter must choose ...

The Dryad's iron will to save her home can enable her to combat the effects of T-energy and to rectify the betrayal of Mother Nature. The Dryad must restore the order of nature, and so gain salvation for herself and all the beings of Ancaria.
Light Path
But the Dryad should not forget why the world has become so sick. The Ancarian nations are to blame for the destruction of the world, and the T-Energy would be a means to punish them all. There can be only one power to dominate the T-Energy ...
Shadow Path

So she must choose between salvation and damnation. Between vengeance and mercy ...

Dryad Aspects

  • Capricious Hunter - Ranged combat comes easily to the Dryad, and her prowess with these weapons is frightening. She is second to none when stealthily attacking from a distance, and can inflict great damage before being seen.
  • Cabalistic Voodoo - Displaying the darker side of the Dryad, this powerful magic slowly removes the life force from her enemies. She can also summon the ethereal ghosts of her defeated foes to fight by her side.
  • Nature Weaver - Nature is one of the strongest forces of battle, and a Dryad in tune with her surroundings is indeed formidable. Using the ancient forces of the world, she subdues her opponents and protects herself.
