	In the 7th century [[PR]], the last population of Dryads were isolated to small forests in Isonhound. One of these populations, the home forest of [[Doraleous]], was targeted by evil archmage [[Kleckless Racoba]] in an act of vengeance against his former student. Brewing up an infectious tree-based virus, he unleashed a genocide on the forests that affected not just the dryads, but also the rest of the plant population. Although Doraleous returned home and slayed Kleckless, it was not in time to save the last of these Old Dryads.

	As deforestation and civilization covered the landscape of Quelmar, the seclusive populations of dryads began to dwindle. Though some activists (unsuccessfully) tried to designate sanctuaries for the dryads, their inability to move from their trees meant that death was inevitable when civilization moved in. As populations died, the Dryads had fewer opportunities to reproduce. It was at this time that the link between the Dryad and the home-tree strengthened, and the dryads learned to reproduce through cloning and other botanical means. In return, the natural exterior beauty of the dryads also dwindled. They became more wooden and tree-like over the last decades before their extinguishing.
