Athel Loren is home to a host of powerful forest spirits. The benevolent Treemen are spirits that have entwined their essence with that of a living tree. These ancient creatures are revered by Elf and forest-creature alike, and the Treemen cherish all lesser creatures - they have a warmth of character that is wholly at odds with that of the Dryads.
Dryads are spiteful creatures that are able to shape-shift into different forms, often appearing as beautiful maidens. They possess no sense of compassion or mercy, just an uncompromising dedication to Athel Loren.
When the forest is threatened, both Treemen and Dryads rise up, savagely attacking all that threaten their home.
The Guardians of The Deepwood boxed set contains 36 Dryads and three Treemen; that can be assembled as a Treeman, a Treeman Ancient or Durthu.
