built 804 days ago
After the cessation of open hostilities in Korea, Satyr returned to the Far East. Arriving in Yokosuka on 21 September 1953, she participated in amphibious assault exercises in northern Japan during October; provided tender services in Serv Div 31 into January 1954; participated in further exercises in the Ryukyu, Bonin, and Volcano Islands and supported Sea Bee operations at Buckner Bay into March. She then sailed for Yokosuka to prepare for recrossing the Pacific to California. Returning to San Diego in early May, Satyr performed tender services there until 1 October when she was transferred to Long Beach and assigned to Amphibious Squadron 7 for operational control.

The original Satyr are the descendants of kaldorei who allied directly with the Burning Legion during the first invasion, ten thousand years before the First War. Unlike the Highborne, who aided the Legion simply to gain access to more magic, the satyr embraced demonic power for its own sake and swore their allegiance to Xavius, the first satyr. Xavius had been corrupted by Sargeras himself and had the power to turn other willing night elves into satyr.

The Greek sculptor Praxiteles represented a new artistic type in which the Satyr was young and handsome, with only the smallest vestiges of animal parts. Hellenistic artists developed that concept into humorous or forceful representation of half-animal subjects as an escape from the merely human.

In myth Satyr are always male, and lust after nymphs and human women. There is an obscure reference in welsh mythology to a female faerie with goat legs hidden by a green dress that seduces men and drinks their blood. That is the closest actual reference to a female Satyr.

[A]ny team that chooses Satyr to save money is deluding themselves. Building your own bug tracking application - even if it is based on a solid foundation - will not be cheaper than buying a professionally developed and supported solution. Before you decide to build your own make sure you understand the tradeoffs.

Satyrs speak Eredun, and whatever was the primary language of the satyr's former life. Darnassian, Low Common, Goblin, Orcish and Thalassian are often secondary languages (unless one of these was the satyr's primary language in his former life, it remains one of his primary languages.) Satyrs pick up the languages of their enemies and those creatures that they might find useful.MG 118
