SATYRS

Half animal - half human. Another creatures of the Black Wood. Rough fur, cloven hoofs, horns, a bit goat like looking, but actually they are as inteligent as the common human are. Long time people thought, that satyrs were the driadas males. Such a delusion was accepted because of too hairy on the chest, lower part of the body, and even cheeks young females, looking almost the same as young males. Well, a roaring, savage satyrida fighter may be somehow attractive, and even may look beautiful, if you like animals. Actually the mature satyridas, and kids stay hidden deep in the forest, and do not take part in the rush to the human vilages.

If, or when you do not need it, you leave it somewhere, somebody else may find it. Eating, drinking, breeding - this is "The Satyrs Way" of life.
Anyway, some of humans are practising The Satyr's Way too. Such ones are banned in the Empire, as very dangerous for the society.
Lately, after demoniac invasion, the things have changed. Fast, strong, tough satyr warriors were accepted as an ally. Their primitive soul resist more successfully to the demoniac soul catchers, than the more sensitive and weak human soul.
Some of satyrs have accepted the human armour, weapon, some skills, etc.
The priests of knowledge have tryed to work with the most inteligent of them. But even educated ones, rised amoung humans, never leave The Satyrs Way to live...
