The Worm-Men
The satyrs, one of the many hybrid species-groups who live in the Blazing World, are based on the part-man, part-horse (or part-goat) spirits of the same name from ancient Greek and Roman mythology. The satyrs are specialist physicians who follow the teachings of the extremely influential ancient Greek doctor, anatomist, and philosopher Galen.
