Sylph – Marco Of The Demon Lord

The sylphs are a people who were shaped from wind and cloud by the genies after they spun the world into existence.

They served their creators as wardens of the skies, in their role as makers of clouds and shepherds of storms.

Of all the elementals, sylphs appear the most human, having a size and shape similar to the mortal peoples. They have slim, willowy bodies, with skin color that ranges from the purple of thunderheads to the rose red of a new day’s dawn. Their eyes give away their inhuman nature—the orbs lack pupils or irises, their entire surfaces being white, blue, or starry blackness. Most sylphs stand 5 feet tall and weigh 120 pounds, regardless of gender.

Elementals: Like gnomes and salamanders, sylphs lack mortal souls. For them, death is final, ending their existence. When a sylph dies, it turns into a strong, shrieking wind that buffets everything around it.

Common Names: Alees, Erea, Feeth, Hithr, Iye, Nefa, Ossa, Sa, Shasor, Siver, Ual, Usa, Ven, Vimvin, and Wirrah.
