Dryad is the current name for the forest-tree-creature you see walking around forests but can't attack. It is named such in the old-time-pics that were posted a couple days ago. Also, during the many chats me and kaka have had up in caketown we discussed them, and thats the name he referred to them by.When did dryads enter this discussion? I can't find any posts from j&l using using 'dryad'.
*shrugs* As far as i'm concerned i like the way haven's lore is currently going [see jorbs more recent posts of concepts and credes]. I don't think it really matters if it mimics germanic traditions perfectly, if its more icelandic or more saxon, i think it's only important to build up a germanic tribe feel, not a "real life norse history". Besides, J&L have stated they love the age of enlightenment, and that the goal is to go slowly from germanic tribe-ish to age-of-enlightenment level technology [and i would assume culture would naturally follow]
