The sylvar (also pluralized as sylvari)[1][2] are a satyr-like race of the Night Fae Covenant in Ardenweald. Graceful and loyal, the sylvar serve as crafters and enchanters who create tools, foci, and magical objects to maintain the ebb and flow of existence in Ardenweald.[3]

Notes[]
- Sylvar use the female draenei skeleton.
- Concept art refers to them as fauns.[4]
- Early Warcraft III and Warcraft RPG lore describe dryads as having the lower body of "woodland fauns".[5][6][7][8] In Cataclysm, Shael'dryn uses "faun" as a term for young dryads.[9] Based on the context, these uses of "faun" may simply be a misspelling of fawn, a juvenile deer.
- In Roman mythology, fauns are the equivalent of the Greek satyrs, i.e bipeds with goat-like legs and horns on their heads.
- Sylvar name almost certainly came from latin word "sylva"/"silva" which means "forest".
