Faun: The Wood Spirits

Description

Legs of a goat, torso of a human.

Special Powers

They can hypnotize people with their music.

Patron God

Fauns were the attendants and companions of Faunus, the god of the forest, plains and fields. As attendants to Faunus, it was the faun's duty to protect the wild, and they could use their special powers to either help those who respected nature or hinder those who disrespected nature.

Mythology

A farmer named Marcus struggled with his barren land and asked for help from Faunus. A faun led him to a magical spring, promising fertility in exchange for respect and sharing his harvest with the villagers. Marcus's crops flourished, but he hoarded his bounty and dammed the spring. 

Angered by his actions, the faun returned, destroying the dam and taking away the magical water. Realizing his mistake, Marcus begged for forgiveness. The faun forgave him, reminding him to share and respect nature, and gave him a small fertile patch of land. From then on, Marcus lived humbly, sharing with the village.
