Esterm's Races - Sapyr

Planet fawns, the Sapyr’s are sunlight reliant. Time has left them no longer capable of reproduction, now they rely on their Projection to populate them from Haven’s Heart home.

Unlike any other race upon Esterm, the Sapyr’s are sunlight reliant and unable to reproduce by themselves. Now infertile, the Sapyr’s survival depends solely on their guardian home tree in their home of Haven. This tree, is a Magos Heart and has its own kindred Projection by the name of Pan, whom protects the tree and nurtures the Sapyr’s that grow from its branches. The folk of Esterm like to believe that Pan’s tree is a reflection of the health of the Arbvar itself, and in a way, it is similar, due to its impact as a heart.  Despite these impending restrictions, the Sapyr’s are free from the likes of famine and hunger due to only requiring sunlight and water to sustain them for photosynthesis.

The Sapyr’s beloved home of Haven, is found within Aestas field where they coincide with the Fairies. They often mingle together throughout their lives, benefiting each other with their positive impacts on the environment around them. Both share strong relationships to nature, as both are born from a plant origin. For Sapyr’s, the stalk upon their head or body  is the remainder of the branch and pod they were once attached to and stays with them throughout their lives.

The birth rate of Sapyr’s is slow as it takes at least three years for full maturity of a single Sapyr. Because of this, each Sapyr is special in Haven, and the birth of one is celebrated with a festival of flowers just as it begins to detach from the tree. Thankfully, Sapyr numbers have boosted greatly from the small units they once were, although still remain diminished from the Shadow Sweep ages.
