Satyrs

Satyrs have a well-earned reputation for their good spirits, gregarious personalities, and love of revels. Most satyrs are driven by simple desires, to see the world and to sample its every pleasure. While their spontaneity and whimsy sometimes put them at odds with more stoic peoples, satyrs rarely let the moodiness of others hinder their own happiness.   Life is a blessing from the gods, after all, and the proper response to such a gift, as far as most satyrs are concerned, is to accept it with relish.   Satyrs are known for their eccentricities. Some people spend too much time worrying over why satyrs behave as they do. But satyrs themselves simply are as they are, feeling no need to understand what drives them, much less explain it to others.

Basic Information

Anatomy

In their physical forms, satyrs embody a fusion of humanoid civilization with the freedom of wild beasts. Generally, they look similar to humans, with a range of builds and features. But their goat-like horns, pointed ears, and furred lower bodies sharply distinguish them. Satyrs’ solid horns connect to their heads at the base of their skulls, while their legs end in sturdy hooves. Thick fur covers their bodies from the waist down, shorter at the waist and longer below the knees.

Civilization and Culture

Naming Traditions

Satyr names are often tied in origin with nature.  They have names that can sound rather eccentric to one not used to Satyr-folk, but they enjoy the sounds their names make as it dances on others' tongues.   Examples:   Male Satyr Names: Arfajia, Phurseaem, Cieshos, Reef, Barken, Rhubarb, Florien, Lemínn, Morel   Female Satyr Names: Pyrola, Eytelira, Aromatica, Prunella, Lavandula, Poplar, Alo, Arlette
