Jazero dryád - The dryad lake - is known for the mythological creatures appearing there. The nameless spirits resembling the greek nymphs is what gave the lake its name. They are generally known as "dryads", "dryády" or "nepheius" in Gaidinian, though they aren't the greek nymphs - the tree spirits and their water sisters are far from the shy creatures - they are usually envious and indecent, hateful of anyone they don't consider worthy - they are able to kill someone who is not a deity or a god. This is why most Gaidinian humanoid species avoids the lake. Kyanarrs are safe, though, thanks to the small part of their soul that belongs to the old Kyome deity. If you see a nepheius, run.

The Legend of Pustovník (Hermit)

Pustovník is a tributary of the dryad lake. The old legend says that Pustovník was once a god - unloved and unknown - he looked more like a man than a god. His power was weaker and weaker and one day, even the deity himself forgot what kind of god he is. He was by the lake, unaware of the nepheius living there until he saw one of them - a beautiful girl, half naked, half dressed in the silk. Pustovník fell in love immediately, not taking the eyes off her, and the creature noticed that someone was watching her. His god aura was gone so she couldn't recognize him. To her, Pustovník was an immortal man, nothing more, nothing less. She was used to killing them, of course, and this was not a different situation. The spirit swam closer to him, ready to do her usual work, but the moment she cut his skin with her long and sharp claws, a golden blood began to flow from his wound. Realizing what she had done and what she would be punished for, she began to lament. She came out of the lake and buried the body of a dead god and as she sat there crying, her tears mixed with his blood created a new tributary flowing in the direction from which he came.
