Firwak

Firwak
When all was turbulent and dangerous in early Ihlathi, hunters arose among the early Satyrs to defend the fledgling nation from Toprak’s monstrous creatures. Chief among these hunters was Firwak, a Satyr whose determination to wipe out the monstrosities filled his entire being. For a time, his actions were seen as admirable and just, and none could hunt the beasts like he did. What began as his profession, ended in obsession. He became restless, arrogant; poisoned by hubris and a morbid habit of taking trophies off of slain beasts. The day came when the beasts of old no longer roamed Ihlathi, and instead of rejoicing at this victory, Firwak stood silent. The need for prey sent him into a frenzy, and before long, he turned on his fellow Satyrs. As skilled as he was, he could not match the combined strength and cunning of the remaining beast hunters. Legend has it that he took on the form of a monstrous beast, providing the hunters of old one final hunt to save the nation. The story of Firwak is taught to every Satyr of House Simia at a young age as a cautionary tale against over-hunting and excessive pride.
