Homebrew Saytr Species Details

Satyrs are true hedonists, they believe life is for living and rarely think ahead further than the next scrumptious morsel, tantalizing sensation, or exciting guffaw. At their best, satyrs are joyous and whimsical, at their worst they’re selfish and cruel.

Most satyrs simply wander wherever their whims take them, following impulses and living off the land. When they congregate, it’s usually for a “revel”. Revels are parties, but where humans might celebrate for an evening with food and wine, satyrs can spend weeks indulging in every sensation imaginable before finally settling down in the rubble. Satyrs are half-man and half-beast, and it’s the philosophy of the beast half they’ve embraced. For better or worse, satyrs live for freedom, happiness, and excitement.

Not all satyrs are entirely devoted to partying though. Some form druidic circles devoted to restoring and nurturing wildlife (especially fixing up after particularly ruinous rollicks). Some also become explorers, emissaries and storytellers called “dawngreets”. These adventurous satyrs spread stories that expound their carefree philosophies as far as they can travel. Finally, while they balk at any sort of “authority”, many groups of satyrs are led by a “sibyl”. Sibyls are typically elder satyrs that have been blessed with a limited foresight into the future, a gift they use to warn other reveling satyrs to impending dangers.
