Lady Melisande

Lady Melisande was once a dryad devoted to a powerful tree in Yew. The swamps destroyed her tree and her lands, cursing her in the process. Her touch upon the land now taints and corrupts.

While Lady Melisande may have lost all her beauty, she is nonetheless extremely formidable. Her power, once used for the good of nature, is now entrenched in the evil that causes her immortal pain. Her spindly fingers clutch at the souls of humans and Elves venturing in her path.

Lady Melisande is the Peerless of the Blighted Grove dungeon. Her lair can be entered by completing the Frightened Dryad's quest.

She is vulnerable to the Fey Slayer type weapons, such as the Pixie Swatter, Ironwood Composite Bow, Wind of Corruption, Fallen Mystic's Spellbook or Defiler of Virtue. Custom slayer weapons can now be crafted and imbued using Fey Wings.

She is vulnerable to physical and fire damage.
