Males and females mate when the notion hits them and have no commitment to one another after the act. Sileni offspring are raised by the pack.  If sileni young are separated from the group by an attack, there is no effort to find them again.  The offspring must fend for themselves.Unfortunately for the sileni, packs occasionally draw attention from forest dwellers that understand the creature’s true nature.  Druids, surface elves, dryads and treants are known to attack sileni packs, even when unprovoked.  As such, sileni will also travel alone, in hopes of avoiding these conflicts.===Mark PlemmonsKenzer and Company<a href="http://www.kenzerco.com" target="_blank">www.kenzerco.com</a>===</blockquote>
