Description
Haughty, vain, and fiercely loyal to their kin, centaurs are creatures with the upper torso of a human and the lower torso of a horse. They gather into nomadic tribes and roam wide open landscapes, skirmishing during the day and singing under the stars at night.
Centaur culture heavily emphasizes martial prowess, and they are generally expected to hone their fighting skills as soon as they are old enough to hold a weapon. Centaurs favor longbows and polearms, the latter of which allow them to take advantage of their large size when battling against smaller races. Despite their focus on warfare, centaurs are a highly cultured people who produce impressive works of art and song, though these are rarely shared with outsiders.
Centaurs in Thylea
Centaurs are fiercely loyal to Thylea's native gods. Most tribes venerate the Mother Goddess Thylea, but many others worship the Twin Titans, Sydon and Lutheria. This does not necessarily make them evil—the Titans have long protected the centaur tribes and blessed them with glorious battles and bountiful land.
Centaur history reaches back to long before the arrival of the settler races. When the first settlers arrived, the centaur tribes were largely indifferent to their presence. But during the First War, the Dragonlords and the Five Gods struck devastating blows against the centaur tribes. This has resulted in long-lasting enmity. Consequently, for the past several centuries, the centaurs have increasingly sought to drive the trespassing settler races out of Thylea by any means necessary.
