Trans dryads. Don't care what the game or system they look awesome. Sold.

Thanks for the lore update!The Other Dave wrote:The AoS "closest analogue to Wood Elves in a full faction" faction, Sylvaneth, are indeed basically elf ghosts (lots of the wood elves who died when the World that Was got nuked, in fact) possessing trees, fighting alongside treemen, dryads and the like.YellowStreak wrote:They're pretty...but what are they? Tree spirits? Elf ghosts haunting/possessing trees? I don't understand the design concept....The Other Dave wrote:The tree elves warband for Shadespire, which is extremely beautiful and rockets right up to the top of the queue for my "Shadespire warbands I want" list.
(There are also still actual living Wood Elves, now known as Wanderers, in the lore too - descendants of those who managed to escape full-on descruction.)
Have you read this article over on BoLS?The Other Dave wrote:They've been doing interesting things with the AoS lore - my recent favorite, for example, is the "Flesh-Eater Courts," which is the new Strygoi / Ghoul army. Only they're not just mindless ghouls and ghoul-adjacents, they've got a contagious madness that makes them think they're high-class lords and ladies doing high-class lord and lady things (while actually being ghouls) - so, like, one would imagine finding a treasure chest and picking out a beautiful chain and bauble for his lover, while it's actually a corpse and a chain of viscera. They have great feasts and hunts and fight evil monsters (in their heads) all the time!
