Brokilon bleeds... and not even I can heal it. |  | |

Aglaïs was a (hama)dryad[N 1] from Brokilon living in Col Serrai, and the leader of the healers there.[3]
Biography[]
In July 1267, after his duel with Vilgefortz on Thanedd Island, Geralt was healed by Aglaïs, Fauve, and Sirssa at Col Serrai for 36 days with the help of conynhaela and knitbone. During this period, Aglaïs was visited by Milva, who she convinced of the witcher's neutrality, and of her own as a healer.[3]

Season of the Dryad: Aglaïs reward tree[]
- Scroll 1: Aglaïs was the chief healer in Col Serrai, the famous hot spring basin, when Geralt of Rivia arrived there—battered and broken. The witcher had been badly wounded during his duel with sorcerer Vilgefortz on Thanedd Island, and was in grave need of help. If it were not for the restorative hand of the hamadryad, he would never have fought again.
- Scroll 2: The superior healer of Col Serrai was well known for her taciturnity. The reason for this was quite simple: Aglaïs had never seen anybody heal faster due to idle chatter. So she chose her words carefully and talked only when the situation required it. When she didn't have to waste her breath—she didn't.
- Scroll 3: In addition to the forces of nature, the chief healer used forest water and curative rhizomes—most prominently, the famous combination of conynhael and knitbone. But the key to healing the most grievous of wounds lay with the extraordinary skill of the hamadryad herself.
- Scroll 4: Amazingly, contrary to popular belief about dryads and their kin, Aglaïs saw no difference between treating humans and non-humans alike. If someone was sick or injured, regardless of who or what they were, she would do whatever she could to make them whole again.
- Chest : Long ago, Aglaïs promised herself something in secret. As fate would have it, thanks to her notable skills, she was able to keep that promise. From an early age, when she was just a grub crawling among the trees, she showed an innate talent for healing, even among hamadryads. This was why Lady Eithné never compelled her to take up arms; never forced Aglaïs to break her vow of pacifism—not even during times of war. The healer loathed the thought of killing. She accepted death as the natural end of all living things, but rejected the possibility that she could ever inflict it upon others. And so she never did.
