Dnd Satyr Race

The Satyr is a race of fes­tive, half-human, half-goat beings. They pos­sess the upper body of a human, cov­ered in a light coat of fur, while their low­er half is that of a goat com­plete with hooves. Two curled horns adorn their fore­head. Most Satyrs have a play­ful and free-spir­it­ed nature known for their music, dance, wine, and end­less cel­e­bra­tions. They are deeply con­nect­ed to the mag­ic of nature and live in har­mo­ny with­in the forest­ed king­dom of Tharn­Dorn.

The Capital: Domiroad

Domiroad is the heart of Satyr cul­ture a place full of col­or­ful fes­ti­vals, open-air music, and tav­erns where Irish-sound­ing tunes echo into the ear­ly morn­ing hours. Yet beneath their cheer­ful lifestyle lies a dark secret…

The Origin of the Bulezaus

Not all Satyrs remained true to their peace­ful nature. In the shad­ow of Tharn­Dorn lies Dark­on, a grim region that was once part of the king­dom. Here dwell the Bulezaus sin­is­ter, twist­ed crea­tures who were once Satyrs.
Under the influ­ence of Xavier, the God of Sac­ri­fice, they were trans­formed into demon­ic goat-like beings, walk­ing upright, with mas­sive horns and black eyes filled with hatred.

The first Satyr to fall for Xavier’s dark whis­pers was Skarn, once a joy­ful bard from the for­got­ten town of Dark­town. In exchange for pow­er and immor­tal­i­ty, Skarn gave him­self to Xavier. Now he serves as the god’s right hand a cor­rupt her­ald of sac­ri­fice and ruin.
Dark­town, his birth­place, was set ablaze by his own hand, and rumor has it that it is now a ghost town, cursed by the deeds of its lost son.

The Cult of Xavier

Few with­in Tharn Dorn know of the Cult of Xavier’s exis­tence. Most Satyrs con­sid­er the Bulezaus to be mere myths or wood­land spir­its from old tales. But deep beneath Domiroad, Skarn’s influ­ence grows. Some Satyrs van­ish with­out a trace nev­er to return, or to come back changed and marked.
With­in the cult, sac­ri­fices are made and dark rit­u­als are per­formed to has­ten the trans­for­ma­tion.

A Race of Contrasts

Satyrs embody light, music, and free­dom.
Bulezaus embody dark­ness, sac­ri­fice, and oppres­sion.
They share a com­mon ori­gin, yet their paths diverged one choos­ing joy, the oth­er pow­er.

Future adven­tur­ers may find them­selves stand­ing at the cross­roads of this ancient strug­gle between what once was, and what may yet come to be.
