Sylvar

Last wiki revision 2022-07-14

The sylvar (also pluralized as sylvari) are a satyr-like race of the Night Fae Covenant in Ardenweald. Graceful and loyal, the sylvar serve as crafters and enchanters who create tools, foci, and magical objects to maintain the ebb and flow of existence in Ardenweald.

  • Sylvar use the female draenei skeleton.
  • Concept art refers to them as fauns.
  • Early Warcraft III and Warcraft RPG lore describe dryads as having the lower body of "woodland fauns". In Cataclysm, Shael'dryn uses "faun" as a term for young dryads. Based on the context, these uses of "faun" may simply be a misspelling of, a juvenile deer.
  • In Roman mythology, s are the equivalent of the Greek s, i.e bipeds with goat-like legs and horns on their heads.
  • The sylvar may be a reference to the s in Modern Occultism as "air elementals" invented by Paracelsus likely from the term nympha silvestris (forest nymph) in the Aeniad; "Sylvar" would roughly mean "of the forest".
