The Leszy

The Leszy demonic spirit warden and guard of the wood—called Driada. The Leszy is under siege from the other spirits of the Driada who are under control of the Old God. The Leszy is only barely able to protect human travelers and nearby villages from a surging number of the wood’s dangerous spirit beasts. The Leszy has a centuries-old pact with a vengeful Old God, and the terms are as unrelenting as they are horrifying. In order to get us powers, the Leszy gave his heart to an old god and now must guard the Driada until he dies or give a human sacrifice every one hundred years.
