Emory

Emory is the dryad protector of the Evertree. He has been the guardian of the tree for longer than anyone can remember. His primary function is to care for the tree and ensure the protection of the gate to the First World among its roots.

Relationships
Emory has been in a long-term relationship with Lord Auron, the most recent representative of Summer at the Azracon. He functions as an advisor to all fey Lords and Ladies that make the tree their home, and has weathered the transition between Summer and Winter too many times to count. He cares deeply for those people that live in his roots and the plant life that depends on his care. He regards himself as a protector above all else: an eternal guardian of the Evertree, its rulers, and its people.

Abilities
As a dryad, Emory is unable to leave the radius of his home tree for any substantial length of time. He commands considerable magical power while within the Evertree, but this power decreases dramatically as he travels further and further from his tree. Distance from his home leaves himself and the tree incredibly vulnerable, and no dryad can survive permanent separation.
