Satyr Piper

Music is the lifeblood of any satyr revel, with likely no fewer than a dozen trained musicians in attendance at any party. Some satyrs even claim it was they who brought music to Theros, creating it in ancient times to spite the archon overlords, and spreading it to all of the civilized races. Nearly every satyr is trained in the use of a least one instrument, and satyrs only consider themselves a true musician if they are proficient with three or more.   But to satyr's ears, one instrument stands above the rest, perfect as a toll for ecstatic nights, and a soothing BLM for days of recovery. Soemtimes called a pan flute, other times a hornpipe, this instrument is often the first any satyr tries to learn. But while the basic execution is simple, only a true master of the pipes can bring out the innate magic hidden within their notes.   A Call to Play Every true satyr plays an instrument, and satyr musicians are a dime a dozen, but a satyr piper is a rare treat indeed. If a satyr pulls out a set of pipes at a party, they're guaranteed to be the center of attention, at least for the next hour, and their performance must be rapturous, or else they risk the jeers, taunts, and ridicule of their peers. To play the pipes at a satyr party, once can not simply be proficient. They must know how to channel magic through the music, using it in equal measures to charm and entice, inspire fear and shame, and relax and inspire everyone who hears it.   For this same reason, a satyr that plays the pipes is heavily mistrusted by other mortals. Stories abound, especially in human legends, of satyrs with magical pipes who lure away friends and loved ones, never to be seen again. Or who use their pipes to convince innocent folks to perform criminal acts, twisting good-natured people into black-hearted scoundrels. The truth of the matter is that, while a satyr piper can do many things, they can't change someone's essential being. A satyr piper doesn't force people to do things they don't want to do- only convinces them to go after what they seek deep down, but are too afraid to tell themselves or those around them. Though not as wicked, this ability is no less terrifying, especially for those who hold secrets close to their chest and have something they wish to keep hidden.
