	Dryads
		In Greek mythology, the dryads are female spirits of nature (nymphs), who preside over the groves and forests.
		A dryad either lives in a tree, in which case she is called a hamadryad, or close to it.
		The lives of the dryads are connected with that of the trees; should the tree perish, then she dies with it.

	(Space) Dryad
		Note that the problem with a dryad being far from her tree, or having a proxy for it which is not a tree, is that she cannot rely on the tree to feed her, using food made from sunlight.
		Dryads inside the wood of a ship must at least partially emerge so as to be able to attempt charm, and those charmed may be pulled into the wood of the ship, even if it is thin planking, less than their girth (see 'Wood Space').
		Dryads are a bit ambiguous about rock and stone being never-living, but earth and soil has so much life in it that it does not detect, and the rock and stone underlying most places that dryads live is covered with soil, and can be ignored for the purposes of this detect.

		The key is to keep enemy melee units away from the Dryads and to do lots of hit-and-run attacks as you do with ranged unit control.
		Enemy armies running away is a common situation giving the Dryad plenty of opportunities to kill a few of the enemy units at the tail end of their retreat train.
		Dryads can even be used on running Heroes but they will only slow the enemy Heroes for 1 second due to their magical resistance.

	Borderlands: Shelest, The Dryad Affair (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The Dryad Affair, or the Stikine Incident, is an event that essentially determines where the boundaries between American and British territory were to be drawn; and it illustrates the part played by the imperialism of monopoly and by the relationship between the companies, aboriginal groups and the British and Russian governments.
		One of the factors which had a bearing on the Dryad Affair and its outcome was the relationship that existed between the RAC and the Russian Government.
		In 1834, the HBC vessel Dryad tried to sail up the Stikine River to establish a post in British territory that would drain that region of furs, lower the profits of the RAC and thus assist in the removal of the latter from the trade with the Indians along the Northwest Coast.

	Hans Christian Andersen: The Dryad
		The Dryad rejoiced in her life, and rejoiced in the sunshine, and the singing of the birds; but she was most rejoiced at human voices; she understood the language of men as well as she understood that of animals.
		The Dryad forgot to bid farewell to the regions of home; she thought not of the waving grass and of the innocent daisies, which had looked up to her as to a great lady, a young Princess playing at being a shepherdess out in the open air.
		The Dryad felt a terror like a woman who has cut asunder her pulse-artery in the bath, but is filled again with the love of life, even while she is bleeding to death.

	Dryad
		Technically speaking, dryads are the nymphs of oak trees, but the term has come to be used for all tree nymphs in general.
		If the nymphs lived in the trees, they were referred to as hamadryads, like Atlantia one of the wives of Danaus; otherwise they were simply dryads.
		Dryads, like all nymphs, were supernaturally long-lived, but if the tree died, the dryad associated with it died as well.

		The Dryad project is an attempt to generalize this approach to provide a programming model which scales from future single-machine many-core PCs up to large-scale data-centers," explains Microsoft on the Dryad Web site.
		The Dryad team is focusing initially on a few key areas: Composability (decomposing a program skeleton into a set of simple operating classes); fault tolerance; and applicability (discovering paradigms best suited for distributed programming, especially in computer vision, speech and machine learning).
