Satyrs have an average height of 5’0”-6’0”
Age
The maximum lifespan of a Satyr is 200 years.
History/Information
Satyrs actually evolved from large, ancient goats; as the goats grew to be bipedal, shedding the fur of their upper bodies, trading their upper hooves for hands, and etc, they somehow maintained the goat legs; perhaps because they added greater dexterity to escape from predators. Satyrs view it as obscene to not clothe/cover their lower halves.
Satyrs don’t really have their own villages or tribes, as they tend to be travelers. They are well known for being entertainers and extremely skilled thieves, but theses stereotypes only account for about 20% of the Satyr population. In reality, most Satyrs travel as traders, collecting and selling goods all over Annwn. The other roughly 5% of the Satyr population are spread out in many different job areas.
Culture
Religion
Most Satyrs worship the Goddess of Trade, Minerva; a God that is unique to Satyr culture.
​
Family
Satyrs have an average family unit of 4 people. Satyrs travel together with immediate family, and see other family members only once a year when their travel paths intersect.
Traditions
Satyrs have two main traditions. The first is to hand down the family staff to the oldest of the youngest generation of the family that is choosing to be a trader as well. The family staff is a large, magic wooden staff, that protects the wielder on their journeys. Every time the staff is handed down, the new wielder will tie a symbolic item to it to claim it as theirs; because of this, many staffs have a collection of items tied to them, making every staff unique. The second tradition is a song that is called “Minerva’s Sweet Sorrow”. This song is sung around the funeral pyre whenever a Satyr dies. The lyrics, which are sung in Fae, describe how Minerva mourns over the loss of one of her children, but guides them gently to the afterlife for eternal happiness.
Fighting
Powers
Satyrs have very small amounts of innate nature magic, allowing them to have healing abilities. But, these abilities are typically not naturally very strong, and must be honed like a learned magic in order to grow in power.
Satyrs are generally very lucky, and while it may not truly be a ‘power’, it is often unnatural how lucky they are.
Preferred Fighting Style
Satyrs tend to have a rogue-ish fighting style.
Weaknesses
Satyrs are weak to aerial attacks.
