Sylvaneth Background Tables

Source: Warcry Tome of Champions 2019 (out of print)

Children of the life-goddess Alarielle, the Sylvaneth are a race of fey forest spirits. Merciless guardians of nature, they fall upon those who would defile their sacred glades with a wild and unstoppable fury.

The Sylvaneth are intimately connected with the power of life, and they view such places of power as sacrosanct. To outsiders, they may seem mercurial, even cruel, for they show no mercy to any who would harm nature – intentionally or otherwise. The forests of the Eightpoints have long since been corrupted into a new and terrible form. Yet within their bounds can be found occasional, flickering motes of purity; to preserve these scant traces of a better age, the Sylvaneth will fight with a terrible determination, the wrath of nature unleashed upon their foes.
