-Unlike many other beings of [[Adaris]], the Dralvir do not expand their numbers through conventional means. It is said that when an elder Dralvir passes, their essence seeps back into the land, and in time, a new Dralvir rises where they once stood. This cycle has kept their numbers few but eternal, ensuring that they remain as much a part of the forest as the trees themselves.
