Sylph

A nocturnal, insectoid race resembinling moths, the Sylph are a colorful race that are active from twilight during early morning. Because of this and their shy tendencies they are a lesser seen race that are friendly but wary of others.

Basic Information

Dietary Needs and Habits

Sylph consume dying and decaying matter, from rotting leaves to flesh. They are detritivores, and will seek out and gather rotting food, rich feces, or dead animals and bring them back to their villages for later. Sometimes they will take in terminal creatures, tending to their needs until they pass before fermenting their meats. Some Sylph will even raise animals and create farms for fermenting purposes.
