Born with elemental gales coursing through their breath, sylphs are wispy planar scions whose bodies seem caught in a perpetual, gentle breeze. Most commonly born of unions between mortals and jaathoom, sylphs are quick-witted and creative, but they're prone to flights of fancy and tend to be easily distracted. Sylphs are notorious for their practice of "listening to the wind," which most others dismiss as a fancy name for eavesdropping. Yet this custom means much more to sylphs, who spend hour
