A bipedal creature with a Human upper torso and goat-like or horse-like legs with cloven hooves. Their features often include horns, shaggy hair, and beast like faces.

>//“When a Satyr mother gives birth, we do not say that a child is born, we say that they have ‘joined the song.’ So I can think of no better start to a friendship than for you to join us in this way.”// - [[jara|Jara]] - Ghost-Eaters of the Forgotten Forest (RPA-ADV7)

===== History =====
The Satyr originally built the [[castle_carleval|Castle Carleval]] and have a birthright to it. Led by [[jara|Jara]], they contest with the [[human|Human]] [[duntum_family|Duntum family]], who have lived within its walls since the end of the First [[great_war|Great War]].

>//“The [[duntum_family|Duntum]] family stole the [[castle_carleval|castle]] from my people many generations ago."// - [[jara|Jara]] - Ghost-Eaters of the Forgotten Forest (RPA-ADV7)

>//The Satyr scoff at the suggestion that [[castle_carleval|Carleval]] might be shared, stamping their hooves in anger.// - Ghost-Eaters of the Forgotten Forest (RPA-ADV7)

Satyr secrets and sacred shrines are located throughout various woodland areas in [[ulos|Ulos]]. Trespassing by outsiders is met with resistance, often violent.

>//“Our forests are forbidden to outsiders! They hold many secrets known only to the Satyr. Your cartographers are not welcome there.”// - Mr. Rugbeard - Explorer's Guide (GS-Guide-ADV2-2)


----
===== Culture =====
Satyr worship [[deities|Kynt]], the god of wine. A statue dedicated to him can be found in the [[temple_of_ulos|Temple of Ulos]]. - Eye of Ulos (RPA-ADV4)

Satyr are quite fond of wine and music. Their enjoyment for both are recounted through stories and song across the lands. Their celebrations and festivals include an abundance of both. 

>//You hear music coming from the woods. Peering through the trees, you discover a group of Satyr dancing
around the crumbling tombstones of an ancient [[cemetery|cemetery]]. As one plays the pan flute, another sings in accompaniment, and the others clap their hands, stomping their hooves in celebration.// - Ghost-Eaters of the Forgotten Forest (RPA-ADV7)

Music is often used to retell a story of past heroics or journeys. - Questline (QL)

It is said that some Satyr are able to use magic in their music, affecting the minds of those who hear their melodic tunes.

>//I can’t help but suspect that [[annabelle_duntum|Annabelle’s]] [[music_box|music box]] has been enchanted. She seems unnaturally obsessed with it. I’ve heard that the previous inhabitants of [[castle_carleval|Castle Carleval]], the Satyr, were adept at weaving magic through song. The box appears to be of [[gnome|Gnomish]] craftsmanship, another possible source of such magical mischief.// - Lady Dorothea Duntum, Ghost-Eaters of the Forgotten Forest (RPA-ADV7)

Satyr engage in embraces of greeting all their own;

>//[[jara|Jara]] drops her axe in the snow and embraces you in the [[satyr|Satyr]] fashion.// - Gate of Brizoor Waal (RPA-ADVF)

Satyr speak fluent [[dragul|Dragul]] Common.
