Fautyr

Legend

“Youngest of the Races with whom the Archaic sired Human tribes. They are claimed to be half T'Aurs and Drakk Alfar.”

History

It is said that their first encounter was with Kobold, with whom they shared Mana Manipulator experience in exchange for Kobold technology and devices. But in fact, they are the result of T’Aur and Drakk Alfar matings, either by loving couples or as the result of horrible acts of war and terror. It is undocumented, and when asked, they merely give one of their smug smiles. But we have been able to pry enough from T’Aurs and Drakk Alfars, and in the annals, scrolls, and thomes of those races, we found evidence.

However, I might chime in. Due to their short stature, T’Aurs really did not think that much of them, but their Magic insight. Also, the Drakk Alfars were uncomfortable with their’short’ lifespan, as losing children, regardless of birth circumstances, hurt them. Thus, many a Fautyr left the parent(s) and lived alone in the forests, playing sad melancolic tunes on their flutes. I must add that they also have the most exquisite wine. In fact, I have a bottle in my backpack; hold on, and I’ll pour a glass.

Description

They look somewhat like Human but with tails and cloven legs. Males have what look like Horse tails and Females have Cow like tails. Males generally tend to have goat-like horns, but females grow none. Males tend to have early baldness but can grow massive beards, whereas females tend to keep their hair through life and grow no beards. Males generally have ears like the Drakk Alfar and females generally have cow-like ears. Females also tend to have broader hips than males, and they generally get one child at a time; twins are very rare.

Cartography

They are all across the World.

Organisation

They generally live alone or in small groups in the jungles, roughlands, or foothills with forest. Seemingly, they prefer Midgard as they are very seldom seen in the lesser Isles. And they seem to have a special fondness for the forests in Fogwald.

Allow me to elaborate on the illusionary Fautyr organisation of solitude. They often form families with other Fautyr and, at times, even with T’Aurs or Drakk Alfar as partners. These Settlements can be rather large, at times numbering a hundred or more. The sheer amount of attacking Fautyr is one of the major factors used to keep wild nature clean and march against settlers.

And, I would like to add, it’s obvious they are linked to T’Aurs, as they often flock en masse to T’Aur banners, totems, and the sounds of Carnyx warhorns. Using their bows and spears to rain destruction upon enemies, T’Aurs smash brutally into and through ranks.

The well-known to most travellers and adventurers, Herd of Forgotten Vale led by Sun E'lis, the oldest Fautyr who ever lived, is the only Herd known to have let a non-Fautyr lead one of their renowed Forest Spears regiments. The brave deeds performed by Swine-Bro, when a band of rag-tag settlers attempted to raid a Fautyr camp, created a bond of trust that led to Swine-Bro being granted the ‘Shoulder Leaves’ of a regiment commander.

Special

They can play their flutes so stunningly that listeners become mesmerised.
