The clan Sylvanus Ki began as a brave minotaur who came upon Kayleigh communing with a silver breasted sparrow. Tarlyn, as he is called, inquired of the heavenly goddess what she was about in the forest. Kayleigh replied that she was speaking with the perky sparrow who was jubilantly retelling of her morning soaring above the forests. Tarlyn stated he couldn't hear any conversation.

"Ah, but you are only listening with your ears. You must listen with your heart."

Tarlyn inquired of how he could listen with his heart when it had no ears.

Kayleigh responded, "Young minotaur, look about you. Can you not see life blossoming? Can you not see the glorious, vibrant colors the animals and foliage present for your eye's feast? Can you feel the warmth of the sun? Can you smell the sweet scents of life? These are the languages of nature. By the birth of the grasses that feed the animals who eat only plants, a whole civilization is created and sustained. By the death of these creatures to the hungry mouths of those who eat only flesh and drink the crisp waters flowing to the seas, another civilization is born and sustained. As these latest creatures die from natural causes or to feed our own selves, their remains decay and seep back into the soil from which they ultimately came. Thus, the joy of life and yes of death continues for all time."

Tarlyn, so enthralled with this knowledge devoted much of his time following Kayleigh upon the Earth through her duties. He came to understand much and learn even more. He began to enlighten others he met as did Kayleigh. Eventually the numbers grew to be called a brethren. This clan travelled the Realms, communing with nature, relishing in the order and chaos in the whole scheme of life and death.

The good, the evil, those without either can learn and enjoy existence to the fullest among the clan of Sylvanus Ki. The clan came about its heading through a religion more ancient than the oldest tree, far beyond the reaches of mortal histories, the trees whispered, the birds called, the resulting voice called out at once, Sylvanus Ki.

Together the followers shall learn of the sorrows and joys that life brings throughout nature. Striving to protect the natural ways is a goal of the clan. Saving the earth and animals from the wickedness of beings who disregard its order. The undead who roam, neither dead, nor truly alive, shall be purged from our Realms lest they disrupt the nature songs. Life cannot exist without death. Happiness cannot exist without sorrow. Order cannot exist without chaos. This is nature's way. Those who choose to mock her, shall be vanquished.
