Hyrsam

Prince of Fools
Archfey

A born rabble-rouser, Hyrsam loves nothing more than dancing and telling jokes. Able to turn magic on its head and inspire wildness with his music, the Prince of Fools is a difficult foe to hurt.


Hyrsam is a fun-loving and dangerous entity. Older than all but the most Ancient Fey, Hyrsam remembers the time before the first elven kingdoms. He is the spirit of music, a force of revelry and humor made flesh. He loves nothing more than rich wine, good music, and attractive women, and with his natural charm it is easy for him to acquire them all and more.


Prince Hyrsam (MoP p. 36) – King of the Satyrs

The Fool

Hyrsam occasionally claims that he was born from the first joke ever told. Of course, Hyrsam is a well-known fabricator, and his words should never be taken at face value. However, all jokes contain a kernel of truth, and it is clear that Hyrsam possesses a mastery of humor and wit unmatched by any other being. What's more, he understands every audience he entertains. A group of children will receive a humorous array of pratfalls and puns, while a group of jaded adults will be treated to scathing and astute satire.

The Savage

Hyrsam has often claimed to be the firstborn son of Oberon, the Green Lord. He certainly is as at home in the untamed Feywild as he is in the open markets of the mortal realm, and he can be just as ferocious as any beast. It often amuses him to create deadly traps and pranks, and in battle he is as full of surprises as he is brutal, able to effortlessly counter attacks and redirect magic. Oberon, for his part, has made no effort to confirm or deny these claims.

The Music Never Dies

Hyrsam declares himself the true child of music itself. Though no one knows what exactly he means by this, it is clear that he does not make this claim without cause. Should Hyrsam be slain, he will be reborn not long after in the Feywild wherever music can be found.
