Fauns & Satyr

The satyr are an easy-going folk normally who tend to live solitary lives until finding a partner and fostering a child to continue their legacy. Before the humans began their attack on the elves, satyr lived alongside the elves, working in towns as herbalists if not in their natural territory of the forest. The Rebellion of the Winds was fueled in part by satyr archers who used devastating guerrilla tactics to weaken the resolve of their enemies. Nowadays, satyr look to forget the past, and let the wounds of racial tension heal so that all might live in harmony once more.

From the waist down, satyr possess furred goat-legs which range in colour depending on their region (satyr from the north have lighter shades, while those in more temperate climates have the traditional brown coat on their legs). On the top of a satyr’s forehead are two horns that grow and twist with age, normally into a style similar to a ram. Female satyr are known as fauns, and have visibly smaller horns, and often a smoother and groomed coat along their legs. Both satyr and faun stand at around 5’5 on average. Characterised as trickers and jovial creatures, satyr are often enlisted as bards for parties, or as hunters for their immense knowledge of the forest. They typically live to be around 100 years old.
