Homebrew Equestrian Centaur Species Details

Origins

The feywild is a plane that lashes and whips against the material plane, one such instance of this is the case of the small centaur tribe of Equestria, one thousand years ago a magical surge from the feywild bled throughout the planes, smashing against Equestria physically effecting the population and changing them forever.

Pastel Horses

The Centaurs of Equestria rapidly changed due to the wild magic inflicted onto them, their coats and skin being altered to be primarily bright pastel colours with few dark colours amongst them, a few gained additional limbs, one gained large feathered wings attached to their horse like form granting them flight and manipulation of the weather, others were granted a horn out of their forehead acting as an arcane focus and granting them access to basic spells, even those without new limbs were changed, being granted additional strength and some link to nature.

Friendship Is Magic

One thousand years later Equestrian Centaurs have a reputation as great socialisers and companions, the magic inside them pushing them towards peaceful solutions and rarely holding grudges, more likely to try to make a foe a friend than kill them for their transgressions, most travelling Equestrian Centaurs are missionaries and volunteers, preaching about the virtues of honesty, generosity, laughter, kindness and loyalty, while also helping out whenever they can.
