Forlarren

The descendants of satyrs corrupted by fiendish power. Forlarren are miserable creatures—an unhappy union between the demands of Tartarus and the impulsive hedonism of the Feywild. Their faces are gaunt, have nearly no hair on their bodies, have devilish horns and claws, driven by dramatic and unpredictable emotions, these feral creatures wreak havoc wherever they go.   When dealing with the forlarren, the only constant is the malleable, chaotic, and temperamental nature they all share. When its fiendish aspect shines through, a forlarren is a cunning, calculating, and brutal enemy. It might use its natural charm to worm its way into earning trust from those it encounters, casting itself as a helpless creature pleading for aid even as it looks for the opportunity to betray and overpower. Or it might seek to dominate the weak, set itself up as a petty lord, and rule over all those who fall into its grasp.   A forlarren in its fey aspect demonstrates self-destructive urges that reflect the inherent tension in its nature. That aspect might drive it to drink itself nearly to death, or to throw itself into caring for others with such relentless energy that it eventually collapses from exhaustion. Unfortunately, when it reaches that breaking point, its diabolical nature asserts itself, and it remains in this scheming, dominating mindset until its plans are foiled and it faces defeat. Then, overwhelmed with fear and shame, the forlarren’s diabolical nature fades and its fey aspect emerges once again.   Several ballads of the Feywild recount the dramatic fall of valiant forlarren. In all these tales, the hero achieves some great deed only to see their sinister, diabolical side surface. Deceiving their companions during their most daunting trials, the forlarren then betrays those companions at the worst moment possible.     Forlarren Traits Forlarren traits replace Artistic Talent and Enchanting Art   Deceptive: You gain proficiency in deception   Twisted Magic: You can cast the Vicious Mockery cantrip.
