Descended from the Elder Goddess Rhesileni, the sileni are a race of six-fingered, goat-legged musicians that was nearly destroyed during the Vernal Wars. All save two spirits - Lira and Taimon - survived the unending hunger of the Soulless God Zenos, and they were secreted away to a glade deep within the Hifarae Hills by the Voice of Trialante.

However, in 475 CoE, a temporal rift broke open from an event that manipulated the Wheel of Goloths, bringing forth a flood of ancient sileni to the present time. These anomalies, though eventually returned, left parting gifts for modern-day adventurers, thus allowing all the brief chance to know what means to be a sileni.

Notable Denizens

Perks

Perks
Level 1 1/4 resistance to magical and asphyxiation damage.
Level 25 2/10 ego regeneration
Level 50 Due to their musical intonations, sileni were notorious sweet-talkers, able to convince, inspire and seduce anyone they came across as they fled from Zenos. This quality has given them a minor increase in their wordplay, able to speedily influence as needed (faster equilibrium recovery). Sileni with the Music skillset will find that their bardic milestones will persist twice as long.
Demigod Echoes of the Past: You can SING TO YOUR ANCESTORS to set a contingency point. If you are attacked five times in a short period from other adventurers, you will be returned to where you set your contingency instantly. Due to the strain of this power to maintain, it will only last for a few days, and once used, you must recover for a month before it can be used again. Due to not being a native of the race, you are also limited to your contingency activating on the same plane.
Demigod+ Echoes of the Past now will work from up to 2 planes away. Ego regeneration is increased to 4/10.
