The Lady Of the Woods |
-- by Leah Cardaci |
![]() Legend has it that a giant race called the Great Ones once dominated the realm. These giants were a powerful but benevolent group, and always sheltered those of other races in their area. The Great Ones left the realm long ago to travel to a more peaceful place. The creature called the Lady of the Woods is one of those Great Ones. She, along with her two sisters were banished from their home realm for their role in certain disastrous events. What exactly the disaster was, is something the Lady has never explained, though she openly confesses her punishment to be a fair one. The Lady has settled into part of the Black Forest, and has befriended several inhabitants of that deadly place as well as a few Forester Healers. An area surrounding the Lady's cottage has become safe for humans. Predators steer clear of it, and the harmless creatures have began to gather here. Whether the unseen border is the result of purposeful work of the Lady, or the unconscious positive effect her kind are supposed to have is not known. The Lady is a friendly creature, she welcomes any benign person that comes into her protectorate without hesitation. Like all her people, the Lady is highly aware of her surroundings in ways that her human friends find amazing. If anyone in danger enters into the area she lives in, she will come to their aide.
