Storyline
Theros
On Theros, satyrs are hedonists that worship the god Purphoros, associated with creativity, artistry, and passion, and that occasionally honor Nylea, goddess of the forest and the hunt.[1] Theros satyrs are depicted as playful, benevolent joyful beings by the populace, but in reality, they are mischievous, malevolent hedonists that engage in violent revelries and enslave humans lured into their hedonistic cults. Unlike the satyrs from Greek mythology, they are both male and female.
Eldraine
Satyrs also occur in Eldraine, where they are known as fauns and appear in . Prior to New Phyrexia's Invasion of Eldraine, fauns were reclusive creatures living in tight family units deep in the forests of the Wilds.[2] Choosing to leave their homes to join the plane's defense, they now live in the cliffs of the Tanglespan, a series of bridges and beanstalks crossing a chasm opened during the invasion.[3] They map out the crisscrossing pathways spanning the chasm, fight off the trolls who lurk beneath the bridges and hunt along the crossings, and guide travelers across the chasm in exchange for a modest toll.
