 Beyond the Wyrwood Moon, Wyr are a rare sight in the sector. The demands of their unending battle rarely allows battle-capable witches to leave the frontlines. Wyr live their lives in settlements remnant of what a fantasy wood elf city would look like, if it they advanced technology and witches flying around all the time. Beyond the Wyrwood Moon, Wyr are a rare sight in the sector.

 Wyr think in ways that are familiar to humans. They are heavily duty-bound to care for and protect their people, a burden that they all face head on. Centuries of carefully-managed resources have caused them to be sparing and careful of waste, though they enjoy niceties. Wyr think in ways that are familiar to humans.

 Despite their differences, male-female pairs are still common. All Wyr know that their population is declining and highly value children. Despite their differences, male-female pairs are still common. All Wyr know that their population is declining and highly value children.

-Wyr wear clothes that blend the fantastical with the modern.

As the Wyrd provides all the defenses a witch needs, there is little difference between the clothes they wear during the day and those they wear to battle. Wyr have no problems being elaborate or bombastic - everyone wants to leave their impression on those around them, so that they aren't forgotten one day.
  
 Wide-brimmed witch hats with big skirts are common, as are long, robe-like coats. These are contrasted by gloves or boots that are clearly made of advanced materials. Lace, stars, over-sized accessories and accents, and so on all contribute to each witch having a look that is uniquely, sometimes impossibly, her own. Wide-brimmed witch hats with big skirts are common, as are long, robe-like coats.

 Witches often use the size of their hats as a sign of seniority. Witches with particularly large hats tend to hold more authority or be more powerful than other witches. Not all witches wear wide-brimmed hats, but the fashion trend is consistent enough to have its own set of compliments and insults. Witches often use the size of their hats as a sign of seniority.

 The Wyr were once a culture that spanned multiple planets. While their primary fashion inspirations are based around traditional western fantasy witches, clothes and mannerisms representing magic-wielders from other cultures are certainly possible. The Wyr were once a culture that spanned multiple planets.

 Wyr are not religious, though they revere the Wyrd. An ephemeral power that only female members of their species can access, the Wyrd, and the devices that use it, have been the only thing preventing the outright annihilation of their species for hundreds of years. Wyr are not religious, though they revere the Wyrd.

 +Many Wyr pay respect to the great witches of old, such as First Witch Morrigan. These witches exemplified different respectable qualities, such as strength, wisdom, courage, and so forth. For Wyr who follow this practice, they often say a few words to an appropriate witch for dedication or guidance before undertaking an activity. To become a witch worthy of such recognition is the goal of many Wyr who want to leave a legacy larger than simply dying to hold the line.
