Additional Information
Social Structure
Satyrs tend to live deep within the woodlands, but they can be found amongst the highest peaks of mountains. They usually live in small clans numbering one to two dozen but sometimes as small as five or six. Satyrs build their homes as a part of the landscape, with houses constructed in the trunks of trees or dug into the ground like burrows. Their homes are humble and comfortable, for although they love revelry, they enjoy the simple pleasures the most. When entering a satyr’s home, one finds a well-stocked pantry and a collection of fine food and drink from far-flung places. Despite these comforts, satyrs spend little time in their homes, instead preferring to dwell in the open beauty of nature.
