Dryad-loving Slayers field first dryad players

By Gimli Deathbrow

MINAS MORGUL - Minas Morgul has confirmed that they have perhaps the league's first dryads to make their way to the playing field. Denema Eärórà was the first to reveal her dryad ancestry. Afterwards, Sylvania Arborna, a SP prospect, Folia "Magnolia" Silven, a RP prospect, then came forward and publicly confirmed their dryad heritage. Also coming forward were a couple Ents: P Oaknar Steelbark was rather recognizable as a young Ent while an Entmaiden, Lilac Slenderleaf is currently in the Slayer AAA system. "A female Ent? No way! I have to see this for myself!" One fan commented.

The players are helping keep interest in the team higher as Opening Day nears. "It's good to see that they are well received. I'm glad for them and hope they can be enjoyable for the fans to watch and be able to see them succeed in the league." K.L. commented.

Only Denema is likely to make any impact this season as she's slated to be the team's 4th starter in her rookie campaign. Fans have immediately latched on to her because of that, especially the dryad portion of the fanbase. "Not only is the owner sensitive to us, he now encouraged the dryads among his players to come forward and be who they are. It's great!" One younger dryad commented. K.L. wouldn't confirm...or deny..that he encouraged or advised the dryads to come forward.

Not to be overlooked, the two Ents in the minor leagues are attracting interest in those cities - as well as the other two dryads in the minors system. Whether the current interest will be sustained over the course of the season remains to be seen, but the fans should be rather excited when the Slayers play their first home series of the season.
