Homebrew Fae - Ancient Guardians Species Details

Physical Description

Ancient Guardians are a special type of Satyr made by the Fey Gods which rest as stone statues but can awoken in times of need to protect the wild from ancient cataclysmic evils.  Generally, they look similar to humans, with a range of builds and features. But their goatlike 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. Short, soft hair grows down their neck and spine, along their shoulders, and on their forearms.  They are the sworn enemies of undead.

Relations

Ancient Guardians are good friends with high elves, wood elves, lizardfolk, cat folk, kitsunes, humans, gnomes, and halflings they despise goblins, devils, vampires, demons, aberrations and are sworn enemies of the undead.

 Religion

The Archfey are the closest thing the fae would deem deities.  They are the celtic deities and other folk figures (Morrigan, Lugh, Epona, and other celtic gods, as well as Old Man Winter) they are gods but maybe not seen as gods outside of the feywild. They are separated into seasonal courts, and within the seasonal courts are minor designations of a fey being Seelie or Unseelie.

Names

Each individual fey has at least ten names apiece (although most have many, many more), stemming from the race's taboo about letting others know their true name. A fey generally changes names once it has made some change in its life, be it a change of occupation, change of mate or incurring the wrath of a more powerful fey. Fey names do not add honorifics or family names, they just choose whatever sounds good.

Sample names: Drannard Shrake, Dyc'li Rach, Nlashia, Leiram, Ahshola Neltex'ix'in Wred
