called “reaver witches” are well known on that dark isle
and the surrounding waters. Select daughters are
chosen by Toruk to serve his will as assassins or
worse. Pirate crews also value the satyxis as elite
officers—Axiara Wraithblade is perhaps the
most infamous and reviled up and down the
Broken Coast.
Combat
The satyxis are imbued with an unnatural
grace, and most are highly skilled in
swordplay. If during a battle a Satyxis discovers
her chosen, she engages him in a ritual
battle. This sword dance tests the skill of the man,
and should he have the mettle, she will beguile him
with her charms and take him as loot.
beguile (Su): The feminine beauty of the satyxis can
entrance male opponents. Once per day a satyxis can
attempt to beguile a single male as per a heightened
charm person spell, Will DC 13 negates. The level
of the heightened charm person spell is equal
to 1/2 the satyxis’ HD rounded up. Caster
level equal to satyxis’ HD. The save DC
is Charisma-based.
Headbutt (Ex): A common
trick used to deadly effect is to
lull a man close enough to make
him think he is going to receive a
kiss, only to be met with a vicious
headbutt. A satyxis deals 1d6+1
nonlethal damage with a melee headbutt
attack. If the headbutt attack
inflicts 7 or more points of damage,
the victim must make a Fortitude
save DC 11 or become dazed
for one round. The save DC
is Constitution-based.
Skills: Satyxis
gain Bluff as an
automatic class skill.

Legends & Lore
CoMMoN: The satyxis are a race
of warrior women found near the
Shattered Coast between Cygnar
and Cryx.
UNCoMMoN: Beware what
sailors call the “satyxis’ kiss.” It
is a savage headbutt.
RARE: The satyxis dwell on a
hidden isle in the waters between
Cygnar and Cryx. This isle is
a dangerous jungle, filled with
treacherous creatures. In the center is
the city of Satyx.
obSCURE: Satyxis males are sacrificed
to keep the bloodline strong. Should a
chosen man father a satyxis son, he must
also be found and sacrificed. This is done
in a rite to strengthen the satyxis bloodline
further.
Treasure
Satyxis who have mated with a chosen
often leave valued trinkets or gold as a
reward for the services of their chosen.
There is a 10% chance per level (of the
chosen) that the item left behind will be
magical. These gifts are often carefully
selected and usually pertinent to the
class of the chosen.
Hooks
A man contacts the
players claiming to know
the location of the Isle
of Satyx. The man does
in fact know where the
island is—he has spent a year trying to
find the woman who beguiled him and left
him heartbroken. He wishes to find
her and their daughter.
Of course, he doesn’t
have to let the party
know that.
