Sylphs are similar in stature to a fairy or pixie. A typical Sylph is between a foot or two tall, cannot see in the dark, and has delicate wings. Sylphs are natural fliers being more agile in the air. Sylphs prefer not to associate with evil or shady folk, though they have been known to befriend a charming thief or two. They most commonly follow Astraeva, the Goddess of Light, as she is inherently unselfish and compassionate. Many other Sylphs follow Aerthane, the Goddess of Air and have been referred to by some as "Wind Fairies." Sylphs are highly resistant to poison and disease due to their small size and fast healing.
