Anari: Small in stature, these wood-dwelling humanoids will often help humans find their way through forests, but they are wary and mindful of larger beings' destructive power. They are a minor magical race, and their tribal wizards often gather together in conclaves. They can easily ward the path from enemies, who stumble around for aeons unless they are fortunate enough to reach the edge of the woods.

Dryads: Dryads are reputed to be creatures in tune with the woods and the very trees themselves. They have no brute strength, but use magics of nature itself to shroud paths away from any would-be destroyer.

They appear to sympathise particularly with those Half-Elves who have been forced from their tribal life.
