Map 317 - The Unbound Garden - Underground Dungeon

# Background Lore

This is the story of Shiades, the exotic gardener. The mysterious individual known as Shiades traces back his origin to the Feywild. As a being from the realm of natural forces and the rule of the Fey Court, Shiades is bound to the spirits of nature by his Fey blood. Shiades is a satyr, sometimes also known as a faun. He has the upper body of a horned man. His lower body appears to be similar to that of goats or horses but the legs are shaped in a way that allows him to stand upright. Satyrs seldom leave the Feywild, and it was not Shiades’ intention to stay in the Material Plane for a prolonged period, but there was an unfortunate development. Two decades ago, Shiades pranced through a large forest in the Feywild when he heard the melody of a flute. It is part of satyr culture to play wind instruments made from the parts of ancient trees, that is why the faun felt curious. The melody was unknown to Shiades and the timbre of the flute was unlike any he had ever heard. He ran through the deep forest to find the talented flute player.
