Drycha is a Wood Elves Legendary Lord unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer II with The Twisted and Twilight Update. In the campaign, she leads the Wargrove of Woe.

Description[ | ]

Drycha, the Briarmaven of Woe, is a powerful spirit of Athel Loren. Long ago, she held court amongst the roots of Addaivoch, the once-glorious creature known in recent times as the Tree of Woe. Most believe that Drycha lost her mind when Morghur’s death tainted that ground forever, but in truth she was capricious and malevolent for many long years before that tragedy. She remembers well the days before the coming of the Elves, and has ever rued the folly that tied the forest to their fateful whims. She rarely converses with others, even the Dryads who serve her as handmaidens, but instead chants a mantra of the names of all those fellow spirits whom she believes have been failed by the Elves. As old as Drycha is, she still possesses a crystal-clear memory, though it is doubtful that she will ever reach the end of her tally; new names are added with every battle between Athel Loren and the outside world.
