These strange fey creatures have a symbiotic relationship
with an ivy-like plant that serves as their wings. The
relationship is so close, it is impossible to separate fey from
plant. Gathlains are sometimes helpful, often mischievous,
and native to deep primeval forests and jungles, but are
also prone to wanderlust and adventuring.

Wyrwood
The original wyrwoods were created centuries ago to
serve a wizard as spies and emotionless apprentices. The
wizard's downfall came about when he granted them free will,
which in addition to their cold, calculating intelligence
heralded the birth of a strange new race. The wyrwoods
murdered their former master and stole the serpets of their
own creation, which they jealously guard and rigorously control.

powerful allies or deadly enemies.
