[Species] Nymphs

Life expectancy: ca. 600 years

Appearance:
Like all nymphs, naiads have no sex. They can resemble young men or women, between the age of 15 to 30. They don’t age the same way humans do and look the same for their whole life, from the day they’re born to the day they die.
Naiads can be between 1,30 to 1,70m tall. Their skintone can range from very pale greenish or blueish to a dark green or blue, more rare are greytones.
Their eyes and hair can be blue, green, grey or brown.
If a naiad spends to much time in the water, seaweed, shells or algae can grow on their skin.
Naiads like to wear jewellery made from things they find in and around the water, like stones, reeds, water lilies, duck feathers or fish scales.
Their blood looks like water, though with the consistency of human blood.

Language:
Nymphs speak their own language. It is very bright and clear and high-pitched. There are no k, p, t or q in it, but many sh, z, s, m, n, i, a, y and f.
Since most nymphs don’t come in contact with humans often, they usually don’t learn the common tounge, but depeding on were they live, they might speak the language of other races like the merpeople, the elves or the dwarves.

Information:
Naiads are the nymphs of freshwater. They are born from springs, stream, rivers, lakes, ponds or swamps. They have a very strong connection to the waters they were born from and cannot walk away to far from it. They suffer physically, when their waters get polluted or dry out. Therefore they usually live at the waterside and try to protect their waters.
Even though they spend allot of time in and around water, they don’t live in or under water.

No one knows when or how the first nymphs came into being. They were not created by the gods, but emerged from nature itself, from the trees and rivers and stones. The first nymphs lived about 100’000 years ago, which makes them the first and oldest people on earth.
They don’t have their own calender.
Naiads usually live in small groups, that are made up of nymphs all born from the same water. They see themeselves as sisters and live very harmonically and peaceful.
They don’t have a government or ruler and even the small groups they live in, don’t really have a leader.

Naiads can not get pregnant. They are born from water. They are often believed to be the souls of their waters.
Like all nymphs, naiads don’t have souls themeselves. That means they cannot be affected by magic which attacks or uses the soul. Furthermore they don’t enter Kheas realm after they die and the can’t become undead. No one knows exactly what happens to them after they die. The naiads themeselves believe that they just become part of the water they were born from again and dissolve into waves or the current.
Even though they only have lungs and no branchiae, naiads can breath in fresh water.
If they want to travel further away from their waters than a few kilometers, they have to carry a little bit of the water with them.
Should they loose or spill the water or try to travel without it, than they will suffer from terrible pain and grow weaker and weaker until they eventually die. It is believed, that a naiad, who dies to far from her brithplace cannot go back into the water and has to haunt the place, she died forever as a terrible, suffering wraith.

Every tree has only one dryad.

Dryads can not get pregnant. They are born from the trees. They are often believed to be the souls of their tree.
Like all nymphs, dryads don’t have souls themeselves. That means they cannot be affected by magic which attacks or uses the soul. Furthermore they don’t enter Kheas realm after they die and the can’t become undead. No one knows exactly what happens to them after they die. The dryads themeselves believe that they just become part of the tree they were born from again and dissolve into the wood or the roots.
If they want to travel further away from their tree than a few kilometers, they have to carry a piece of wood, a branch or a root with them.
Should they loose the wood or try to travel without it, than they will suffer from terrible pain and grow weaker and weaker until they eventually die. It is believed, that a dryad, who dies to far from her brithplace cannot go back into the trees and has to haunt the place, she died forever as a terrible, suffering wraith.
