Question about Fey Revisited

[Thomas Jones]

Why weren't fauns or forlarrens included? I know forlarrens are part of traditional mythology but fauns are. The both could have been included under the entries on nymphs and satyrs respectively

[selunatic2397]

I thought fauns were just another name for satyrs?

Sort of. As of Bestiary 3 fauns are a gentler, less wild version of the satyr (being Neutral Good rather than Chaotic Neutral). They have some differences in their spell-like abilities too as far as I remember.

Fauns are born when a Satyr and a particularly virtuous human woman have a child. Fauns are mentioned in the Satyr section of the Fey
Revisited book.

[Thomas Jones]

Fauns are just barely mentioned, I was hoping for a bit more than that. And why no love for the forlarren?

Well at a guess there was only so much room in the book, and to add more detail on Fauns and put in the Forlarren would have added to both the page count and the cost of the book. Now when I read the section on the Satyr's and saw the note about Fauns being breed from them and human women, it was kind of amusing. I can see several possible stories just from the little bit that they did say.

For example: the Faun could be mistaken for a Satyr, by a group of town's folk, and the adventure's are hired to deal with the satyr.
