"Some say the Faun is an ancient spirit sent by the Gods to protect the forest, but the truth is far more human.
In reality, he is the last survivor of an indigenous tribe massacred by the Empire.
Using whatever he could find in the forest, he crafted a costume resembling a monstrous creature, meant to drive unwanted intruders away from his sacred lands.
Soldiers and settlers turned this frightening figure into a legend; entering the forest thus came to mean certain death.
To the Empire, he became a nightmare. To the forest and its inhabitants, he was their protector."
