Boon Satyr

Though the majority of satyrs worship at the altars of Purphoros, the god of wild passions, there are still many who choose to give their devotion to Nylea, the god of the hunt. Though slightly more controlled than their more fiery cousins, these satyrs are still wild and chaotic, choosing to serve Nylea's aspect as the god of the wilds, and showing their devotion as talented hunters and scouts.   Fleet-Footed Warriors When a satyr faithful to Nylea's cause manages to garner the favor of their goddess, Nylea commonly blesses them by granting them membership into her elite group of celestial hunters. Known as boon satyrs, those given this exclusive privilege are marked not only by the star-filled shadows that cloak them but also by their golden capes and rune-marked weapons carved of stone.   Satyrs that hunt for the glory of Nylea usually serve as forward scouts for the other hunters, using their nimble and sure-footed hooves to seek out hiding prey. Once the target of the hunt is sighted, a boon satyr will strike with quick but shallow cuts from their blades, flushing the quarry out and forcing it to flee, if the prey refuses to flee, the boon satyr might move to take the kill for itself, or else take leave to alert its fellow hunters of the quarry's location.   Gift of Travel Nylea rarely uses satyrs as her emissaries to the world of mortals, using them only when she needs to contact other satyrs, or in the case that a famed scout or member of a vanguard should need her personal attention. Even more rare are the times that a boon satyr might choose to bestow its own power into a mortal.   When these blessings do occur, the beneficiary can expect to receive all the strength, cunning, and quick reflexes one would expect of a satyr in service to Nylea. Those who have experienced these blessings describe a feeling of unparalleled freedom, so powerful they feel as if they could jump over mountains- and thanks to the work of the blessing, many are delighted to find that they can do just that.
