Faun

The Faun (Homo libidine) are a race that originated south of Haven, and migrated north towards Syltör and Beauridine half the way there a group diverged to the Pirate Peninsula Sparwood around 3000 years ago. There are multiple different ethnicities of Faun due to a differing appearance between them; the largest difference in their bodies being their horns. Faun-Flosism is considered a culture for most of them, with some of the groups in sparwood related to the native religion of Garfism.
==Physical Features==
Faun tend to be taller than humans on average, ranging from 5’8” to 6’6” (172 - 198cm) in adult males, and 5’4” - 6’4” (162 - 193cm) in adult females. The variant of faun does not change their height in any way. When it comes to variants, there are 4 different types of faun. Lespal Faun shares some physical features with goats, i.e., similar horns to goats, furrier lower legs, and is more open to different types of food on average. Ibias Faun are more similar to rams than goats, having curled horns but still having furry lower legs, though often having slightly less hair throughout. Their diets tend to lean more towards veganism, though not all follow this. the Lunin Faun, who share aspects with deer. They have antlers that tend to sprout from the sides and backs of their heads, more sleek fur on the legs, and are commonly vegan or vegetarian. Lastly, there are the Elkfol Faun, with horns similar to elks, the Elkfol were isolated from the rest of the faun, living on the highly populated pirate peninsula in sparwood, due to competition they became ornivirous, they have more fur all over the body and overhaul better fighters do to the instability in their region. 
=== Legs ===
*Lespal Faun have hairier lower legs than the other two variants, sharing a resemblance with mountain goat legs (be it with darker hair on average).
*Ibias Faun have similar legs to Lespal Faun, with slightly less hair near the hooves.
*Lunin Faun have dark spots on their upper legs and very sleek lower legs.
* Elkfol Faun the most different legs of the variants, with more fur overhaul going up to halfway the thigh, and more fur on other spotsof the body, such as around the wrist, on the upper chest, and armpits.
===Ears===
*Lespal Faun tend to have ears that are long and point slightly downward. Soft fur will grow on the insides of their ears.
*Ibias Faun have shorter ears that are similar in appearance to Lespal Faun ears, though usually pointing slightly upward.
*Lunin Faun have ears similar to deer that tend to point up and backwards, yet are more rounded and short than Lespal and Ibias ears.
* Elkfol Faun have shorter ears, aimed for hearing forward for better use at hunting, and are even shorter than the other Fauns.
===Eyes ===
Faun eyes are practically the same as humans, though some have been seen with the standard rectangular pupils and red eyes that goats have. However, this is rare, and has been seen as a birth defect in many cases.
===Lunin Faun===
The Lunin Faun are more common in areas like forests and valleys, and often live in groups of few males and many females, with a patriarchal system. However, this has become more and more rare in recent history. They are usually found with deer-esque antlers, where the horns sprout from around the back of the head, and spread out in different directions. Lunin Faun are commonly vegetarian.
===Lespal Faun===
This species of Faun commonly has horns similar to those of goats, with the horns coming straight up from the forehead, rather than from the sides like most of the other species. They often take to the mountains for shelter, and live together in small groups of around 4-5. They are oftentimes vegetarian or pescatarian for no other reason than moral reasons.
===Ibias Faun===
The Ibias species are usually seen as smarter, and more outgoing than the other species. Their horns are comparable to Rams horns, since they grow from the sides of the head and curl into spirals. Ibias are rarely seen in groups of other faun, due to their boundary pushing personalities. They rarely limit their diets, and are even known to eat mutton (which most other faun are not physically capable of digesting). Their bodies can go through changes throughout life, like horns changing color or shape.
=== Elkfol Faun ===
The Elkfol are the most isolated group from the other Fauns, as they diverged from the main group on the great migrations 3 millenia ago, ending up on the Pirate Peninsula in Sparwood, because of this Elkfol have many biological and cultural differences, the most noticable biological feature are their elk horns and overhaul bigger amount of fur, while as culturally they often where isolated from other cultures around, always on dwindling numbers, some were related to the native feles people and their faith, Garfism. Their livinghood were mostly on spruce forests, valley between mountains, and plains, they hunted or fighted off many of the sparwoodian wildlife, making them exceptional fighters, but as their population numbers were small, they were easily outnumbered, turning into a easy target to slave traders and mercenaries looking for strong slaves for wars.
== War of The Comet ==
During the last years of Rathnir, the Faun population was in rapid decline; when the comet hit many of the Faun were lost. 
As of 13 ASD(june 2nd, 2024), only one group of survivors have been found. A small group of Fauns were one of the many groups who embarked on a Expeditionary Force, led by the Elkfol Faun Morn Humblwod Okrin. On an airship, they departed Greenstem in Sparwood. After 4 years of travel the group crash landed on the northwest of the Iristoyan continent in Abexilas, where Morn founded the city of Kamtargaa. It is currently the only known settlement with Fauns.
