Sirens
Sirens are a common type of faer that are very good at making NOISE. These entities prove essential in that regard, as not only will they make most sounds imaginable, they can also make them at VOLUME.

People encounter sirens all over the place. Most households have at least one in case its residents need warning of fire; businesses and public places can have hundreds. You'll generally find them hanging upside down from hooks in the ceiling.
When sentient kind first encountered sirens, the faer lured unsuspecting travellers into their lair with haunting melodies. Once they had sailors where they wanted them, the sirens attempted to charge said travellers - offering to recite a song of their choosing if they'd prefer.
In the modern era, people realised sirens can emulate pretty much any sound imaginable making them the noise-blasters of choice.

Siren Facts
- Sirens get deployed where other spheres of existence would use alarms, speakers, karaoke machines, and air horns. To get the airhorn effect a person needs simply to carry a siren around and squeeze it.
- By plugging a mana lead into a siren, you can actually use them to amplify magickal lutes or keyboards etc. I won't describe where you insert the lead.

Creation Notes
Pretty straightforward this one - ancient 'sirens' were a type of singing, Greek bird-thing and modern 'sirens' are a variety of noise-making contraption. Basically I split the difference and drew a cross between a goose and an airhorn.
