Lady of the forest
All human societies close to forests tell stories about young beautiful women luring males to their death in the forests. There are loose accounts as well of males whom have seen pretty naked women trying to lure them into the forests with pretty smiles. And as it is recorded several times of males who venture into the forests and just disappear, the legend and histories keep growing of the dangerous Lady of the forest.
In Zorakin and Kardien another name for the Lady of the forest is Daughter of Brynhildur, and the legends are very vivid. Especially around the forest of Brynhildur.
According to elven scholars the creature known as Lady of the forest is a spirit in the same sense as Najads and Dryads. They are from the spirit world but have made the plunge into the material realm for one reson or another. But as they lack a place or thing full of life to which they are bound, they feed on their own energy. This of course kills them and they need to feed from other living things to gather more energy. The species known as lady of the forest have learned how to charm males, mostly humans and by sex feed from their energy.
