Homebrew Centaur. Species Details
Descended from Fey, Centaurs are a proud race. With a general love of nature and deep connection with the world at large, Centaurs tend to be highly respected by all races. They act as intermediaries, and aren't afraid of a fight, too. Centaurs are crosses between a human and a riding animal, usually horses. They are always either wise or deeply soothing to talk to, and so, retain a comfortable friendship with members of other races.
Centaurs live a nomadic life and most of them travel with their tribe. They come in many different forms, and live in many different places, from secluded forests and great mountains, to the wide open grasslands. Their connection with the natural world is probably their greatest single unifying traits.
