Centaurs

Centaurs are a race of four-legged beings. Their upper halves resemble a horned man, while their lower halves are that of a horse. They inhabit the land of Druud, where they organize themselves by clans. Some centaurs have light skin, while others have blue skin. Their hides are thick, enough to deflect attacks. Despite having no written language, music, or formal religion, Centaurs have developed a sophisticated culture around combat, which they believe to be an art, and the highest form of expression. Indeed, it is believed by many centaurs that the road to glory is paved with dead enemies. Through their conquests, centaurs seek to have their names remembered by future generations. The Centaurs' preferred weapons are axes, maces, and flails.

The Centaurs participate in gladiatorial rites, gathering in particular at Omexe, and ancient arena where warriors from the clans have competed for millennia. The champion of this contest is awarded the Great Belt of Omexe, worn around the torso. Its most recent recipient is Bradwarden, the, who defeated every challenger until he alone remained standing in the arena.
