Minotaur

It is said the minotaurs were created from the song that the goddess Marfedivah sung while dancing through the great Maze of Ne’racanthi in the Dawn Era. The minotaur are a large folk most often found in the Kingdom of Molba and across the Underdark. Minotaurs were born with a number of gifts due to the nature of their creation, the most obvious being minotaurs make great guides as they always can perfectly recall the paths they have tread. Many minotaurs are known to have been born with arcane potential, becoming great wizards, sorcerers, and druids due to their connection to the dead god of magic.   Other rarer minotaurs are born with stark white or grey fur marking them as touch by dread lm'grafedone, these minotaur are raised with the expectation to serve in the secretive order of the Maze Wardens. These are individuals all touched by the goddess of death with the duty of protecting the entrance to the underworld from those who are not welcome, to protect the labyrinth that holds the plane's weave of magic, guides to the deceased soul who seek passage through it and finally act as jailers and wardens to ensure the dark things held within are never let out.    Minotaurs live in a family clan structure with clans being named after great minotaurs of legend with individuals named after more minor characters or heroes from those stories. For it is often believed that in times of need a minotaur may channel the spirits of their namesakes to give them courage, insight or the ability to overcome the challenges they face.
