The Satyrs; A Rewrite.

History; Early Axios.

Spoiler

The Satyrs are ancient creatures, created by the Aspects during Axios. At first the Satyrs were in hiding, fearing the descendants. The bloodlines were split into clans at this time. The major clans being, Ivy, Thorn, Oak, and Clover. The Ivy Clan moved to the swamps and jungles of Axios, near the Orcs. Inspiring fear into the Clan and those around the Satyrs. The Thorns stayed on the isle of Tahn, settling into the mountains near the Dwed who built great cities under and inside the cities. The Oak did not stray far from the great plains of Tahn, for they had much vegetation to eat like carrots and apples. The Clovers moved to the Great Forests of the Wood Elves, where they could be in peace from everything else. Despite great speculation of who had made contact first, many thinking it to be the Clovers and Wood Elf Hunters. However it was not them, it was instead the mighty Thorn Clan. And by choice. The Thorn Clan’s hunters and adventurers found a place similar to theirs. Daeland. At first, the Clan was skeptical of these folk. They spoke like the Dwed, yet were as tall as the humans. However their taverns and life-style was marvelous to the Thorns. They were strong, physically and had sports to prove it. The Thorns admired this about them, and one faithful day a Thorn made contact with a Daelish boy. The boy was struggling with a trap set for rabbits, the Thorn member offered to help in return for help with learning Common fluently. In a few weeks, the Thorn member had adapted to Common, and chose to teach it to his clan. Soon the whole clan could speak Common, and the Thorn member began traveling to the other Clans, teaching them Common. However with a slight drawback, they had a Daelish accent. The Daelish folk also heard of the great Thorns, and this began a friendship between the two peoples. The second time, was the Ivys and the Orcs. An Orcish party had found a small camp full of the Ivy Satyrs. The Ivys were found trespassing on Orcish territory, and were hunted and killed. They are believed to be extinct, and the Satyrs mourn the Ivys. However, they hold out hope for an Ivy’s appearance. The Clovers only then made their appearance. Not found by a Wood Elf hunting party, but some had worked up the courage to enter the city and speak to the residents. This became widespread, a ‘historic’ event if you would. The Oak Clan was found only because they were lazy and asleep, when a group of traveling merchants found them in a field eating and sleeping.

 

 

History; Mid Axios.

Spoiler

During Mid Axios, the Church and many folk of both Westerlands and Oren, thought them to be Iblees Spawn. Which only inspired more hunting. The Thorns did not wish to have the Daelish become harmed in this conflict, and instead left to go into hiding. As did many other Clans. However, migrating Clans who were still on the road suffered losses due to the large Satyr Hunting Parties. It was a hard time for the Satyrs, truly. Only a few brave folks ventured out in Axios to continue their exploring, choosing instead to stay with Druids or the Wood Elves who might protect them. The Satyrs, at this time began to become more secretive. Hiding deep in the forests, with lookouts armed with bows and daggers. They were the more trained warriors of the Satyrs, trusted protectors known as the Wardens. The Wardens protected the borders of the Satyrs, assuring no wandering people would end up in the camp. Seeing a Satyr at this time was rare, if not nigh impossible. It was also a time when folks who wandered too deep into the forests of the Wood Elves, and of Tahn went missing. A true mystery. Not much happened during this time, only that the Satyrs realized just how alone they might be.

History; Late Axios.

Spoiler

In late Axios, the Satyrs began to once again connect with the Daelish Folk, who they believed to be one of their closest friends. With the Satyrs close by, they helped the Daelish find food and helped with their crops. In return, the Satyrs received alcohol and weapons such as swords and axes. As well as training in making their own weapons. When Atlas was discovered, the Great Migration occured. In which, the Satyrs found refuge on the Daelands’ ship, and soon enough on Atlas.

 

History;  Atlas (Current).

Spoiler

When the Daelish became scarce, the Satyrs, mostly the Thorn Clan, found refuge with the Gallics. Cousins of the Daelish folks, who offered them sanctuary and protection. However, currently, the Satyrs and Gallics are now under threat of the Church. Despite being next to Curon, who do their best to ease the situation, the Daelish once again offer the Satyrs and the Gallics refuge with them. So the Church cannot hunt both Gallic and Satyrs. However, soon after, the Gallics fled the Daelands as the citizens disappeared mysteriously. Still following the Gallics, they went to Arbor. But soon after went to Arberrang, to join up with the two other Clans, Skarpefanger and Faroe. However, each time they had moved, more Satyrs disappeared. Reducing the Gallic Satyrs to two, a parent and his child.

Physical Appearance (Changes have been made)

The Satyrs are known as many names, Goatmen, animals, beasts, but mostly by the dominating Clan, Clan Thorn. The Four Bloodlines, have almost been reduced to three.

 

Bighorns- The Bighorns (previously known as Thorns) make up the bulk of Clan Thorn. The Bighorns have ram legs and horns, which curve and are quite sharp. The adventurous Bighorns are drinkers, and are quite social. They are the bravest of the Bloodlines, and the most brash. They are known mostly for their temper, which rivals the Longhorns’. The Bighorns stand from 5’11”-6’4”. The women stand from 5’4”-5’10”.

 

Longhorns- The Longhorns (previously known as the Oaks) make up Clan Oak. The lazy preachers of the Aspects. Their horns are long and straight, ending in curves. Despite being lazy, they are quite deadly in combat. They tend to enter a rage in which they simply charge and attempt to gore their opponent. The Longhorns stand from 6’1”-6’8”, being especially big. Even the women, stand from 5’6”-6’2” are tall.

 

Twistedhorns- The Twistedhorns (previously known as the Clovers) make up Clan Clover. Twistedhorns are known for their twisted horns that grow from their forehead. They are shy, and are more introverted than extroverted. They choose not to venture too much and instead stay where it’s nice and quiet. The males stand from 5’4”-6’2”, being smaller compared to the Longhorns and Bighorns. The women stand from 4’10”-5’6”.

Straighthorns- The Straighthorns (previously known as Ivys) make up Clan Ivy. They are closely related to the Twistedhorns and Clan Clover. Where they are believed to be extinct, as the Ivy have not been seen for some time. Nevertheless instead of straight twisted horns, they have regular horns much like a goat’s. Much like the Twistedhorns, the men stand from 5’4”-6’3”, being a bit taller than their cousins. The women stand from 5’”-5’10”.

 

Age (Also Updated)

The Satyrs live up to 1,000 years old. Almost as old as an Elf can. When Satyrs do get older, however, they become more like the animal their bloodline is represented by. The Bighorns become more ram-like in both upper-body, and lower body. The Twistedhorns and Straighthorns become more goat-like, and the Longhorns become more Ram-like despite them having more of a prominent snout. Theirs is more noticeable than the others.

 

Culture

The Satyrs live in small Clans distinguishable by Bloodline. There are four popular Clans, which many know of due to Satyr interaction. There are the Thorns of the Bighorn Bloodline, the Oaks of the Longhorn Bloodline, the Clovers of the Twistedhorn Bloodline, and finally the Ivy Clan of the Straighthorn Bloodline. Although the Ivy and Straighthorns are believed to be extinct because there has not been an appearance by them for a very long time. The Clans live in desperate locations, the locations for three Clans unknown. The most popular Clan, and most known are the Thorns who live with humanfolk. The Thorns are believed to be the most populated due to their numbers. However, the other Clans have yet to be discovered, so it may be untrue. The Clans have become secretive due to past history, and as such are reluctant to share their Clan’s location with another Clan or Satyr. There have been little communication throughout the Clans, due to mistrust. There is no Hierachy of the Satyr people. The Clans used to meet in a Council of Four. However, now there is no such thing. The Clans are now supposed to provide for themselves, the only Leadership left is in the Clans themselves. The former Council members are now their Clan’s Leader. What little communication there is, the conversations are usually carried out in their own tongue, so any eavesdroppers cannot understand what they are saying. However Satyrs are normally very social creatures, who start parties and drink as often as they can. They do of course, sometimes have brawls of their own but seem content with their lifestyle. Most are outgoing and radiate fun and happiness, while others like the Twistedhorns who want to do nothing with others, only if they have to.

 

Satyrs do believe in marriage, but it is uncommon. As most find new mates over time, however when a Satyr does choose to marry they are married by an Elder Satyr or Druid. Most Elder Satyrs are over 200 years old, and as such are considered wise and acquainted with the world. After the marriage there is a large party and feast that can happen for many days, even a full saints week!

Green-lines:

-Satyrs can provide a unique RP, being now more updated and different as well as in my opinion, better.

-Satyrs can reproduce by using their bits, which is to be FTB’ed. Only with other Satyrs.

- Satyrs can now only learn all forms of Druidism. Including Nature’s Communion, Shapeshifting, Blight Healing etc.

- Satyrs can live in cities, provided they fill their days with much partying and music festivities. However when living in walled settlements and cities, they will feel headaches and their conditions gradually worsen if they do not have music and partying in their life when living there.

 

Red Lines:

-Satyrs need music in their lives, otherwise they will feel as though they are gradually starving and as though they are sick.

-Satyrs, being created by the Aspects, cannot learn Voidal Magic.

-Satyrs CANNOT breed with descendants.

-Satyrs have a year average for their gestation cycle.

-No other Satyrs may apply at this time, as they are soft-shelved.

Thank you for submitting your piece, it is now under review. A verdict shall be given in 1 and a half weeks, give or take (I will warn you that it might take longer depending on how many people are busy with finals, as I do not believe in having my team members prioritize LotC over IRL).

 

Thread is being locked to prevent edits to the lore while voting occurs (if you need to make edits, contact me). Also, if you have feedback regarding the lore that you wish to pass to the LT, feel free to toss me a PM.

This Lore has been denied. Fae are unable to learn druidic magic and there’s nothing here that explains why that would suddenly be allowed for them. Nor is a purpose fleshed out that would give us a reason to keep the current satyrs rather than hard shelving them. The same issues are still present in terms of them just being a reskinned variety of descendant. You can rp a druid with the culture here and accomplish the same thing minus the cosmetic changes.
