Talk:Hyrsam

It certainly seems like a logical conclusion to make, but is there any actual confirmation that Hyrsam is the same being as Monster Mythology's Damh? — Look-a-troopa (talk) 09:25, January 14, 2020 (UTC)


 * Not directly, no, but most of the details are exactly the same. Here are the two main pieces of evidence that I found that support the claim:
 * Both are called god of satyrs.
 * Both are the son of Titania and Oberon.


 * Now, Hyrsam is specifically the "oldest" son of Tiandra and Oran, whose names 5e explicitly changed back to the originals. I suppose it is possible that Damh is a second son, but I find this highly unlikely, since the older material is clear that each group of fey only have one patron.


 * The alternative is that 4e is throwing all the old information out as a complete retcon, but our policy here is to respect all editions equally, and the fact that 5e re-renames Tiandra to Titania implies that this is the way the 5e designers were thinking as well.


 * To be fair, Hyrsam also incorporates some of Sqeulaiche's traits, but this is in line with 4e's tendency to squash things together.


 * In any case, you are correct to ask; I have not finished updating this page with new/old content; when I do, I will certainly explain this all in a note in the article.
