Sylvie was a dryad that briefly took over Uthe Lodge in Eveningstar during the late 15th century DR.[1][note 1]
Description[]
Halsaime's magical plague turned Sylvie's leafy body from a healthy green to a dull reddish-brown, and she exuded a yellow-green haze about her body. The plant growth she encouraged was an unhealthy profusion of weeds and vines, including large red flowers that were related to red musk zombies. Although rooted well underground, her tree had grown up through the ceiling to reach daylight.[1]
Personality[]
Under the influence of Halsaime's madness, spread from his cursed staff, Sylvie's personality was warped into a single-minded murderous fixation set on using nature as a weapon and destroying civilization.[1]
Abilities[]
Like many dryads, Sylvie could call on the powers of nature. She was able to cast creeping doom, call lightning, call lightning storm, enveloping swarm, and ice storm.[1]
History[]
Sylvie's tree, surrounded by corrupted plant growth.
Around the same time as the Sschindylryn invasion of Eveningstar, Sylvie and her tree were planted and rapidly grew in a cavern beneath Uthe Lodge, protected by wolves, red musk zombies, wisps, and wood woads including Falcata, Robur, and Prinus. They had been subverted by the druid Halsaime, who had infected the ranger Peron Uthe and allowed him to spread a strange magically-empowered disease to his home and the Eveningstar War Hospital. Sylvie and her fellows sought to consume first the building, and eventually the whole town of Eveningstar as part of a campaign against everything they perceived as being against nature. Under her influence, the building was overgrown with vegetation that continually bloomed and rotted as it expanded.[1]
The overgrown Lodge was noticed by the local Eolynn Arva, who asked adventurers to investigate. They found the Harper agent Jussko Kwahn, who was already searching for Oriphaun Huntsilver. Together, they fought their way through Sylvie's defenses and destroyed her and her tree, ending the threat to Eveningstar.[1]

Notes[]
- ↑ Menace of the Underdark, Shadowfell Conspiracy, and their associated adventure packs can be placed within the period of 1484–1485 DR. This is based upon the ongoing Darkening (1484–1485 DR), and the Netherese events explicitly taking place at the same time as the drow invasion.
Magic of Myth Drannor is dated to 1374 DR, as it takes place during Ilsevele Miritar's Elven Crusade.
The Haunted Halls of Eveningstar appears to be set prior to the misadventures of the Swords of Eveningstar in 1348 DR.
The Mines of Tethyamar reflects the Rage of Demons in 1487 DR.
Mask of Deception is tied to the Tyranny of Dragons event in 1489 DR.
A Study in Sable and Search and Rescue are not tied to any particular events but can be assumed to be set in the 1480s DR as well due to the surrounding context.
