Though they lack mouths, they are able to play beguiling tunes on the magical flutes that they conjure, flutes which also double as deadly blowdarts. They roam the Feywild in search of victims, luring in the unsuspecting with their lovely music. Cursed for Eternity. It is said that the banshrae once possessed mouths, and that their clever wordplay and deceptions were the envy of all within the Feywild. However, when one impertinent banshrae displeased Queen Titania with an inadequately veiled insult, she cursed the entire race to be without mouths for all time. Traitors. Betrayal and cunning is in the very nature of a banshrae. Though their musical talents are highly sought after by fey lords, they are always kept at arm's reach, as a banshrae cannot help but backstab those to whom it is loyal.
