Homebrew Centaur (Giant's blood) Species Details
The Centaurs of old migrated to the cold northern region and evolved to be bigger and hairier. There still exist the few smaller sized Centaur tribes, but they're very reclusive. The giantblooded Centaurs are generally nomadic folk, helping out communities as they pass. They prefer to stay in the north, but some souls have found their way over the grassfields and hilld and even some cities (of which most are not fit to accomodate these giants).
Centaurs tend to be firm belivers in their gods, most tribes having their own set of worshipped gods. They do not conform to gender norms, which is heavily reflected in their physiology as well. When socializing with other races, they tend to prefer others of fey origin like elves, halflings and firbolg.
