Seeing a Sylph flying nearby or followingthe events of people below is a rare sign of good luck.The Sylph own most of the sky, having built cities inthe upper atmosphere. Their elders do business withthe stars and other heavenly bodies, and tend not tocome to earth very often, except to research the loreand history of the rest of the world.
