Minotaurs
Minotaurs are a race of half-bull and half-man that live, on average, to be sixty years of age and originated on the continent of Mortvügg. Minotaur society values strength and honor over everything else and is what drove the Minotaurs to later conquer half of Mortvügg. For thousands years the Minotaurs were a tribal culture and fought constantly with one another, but about a 1000 years after the Great Calamity the Miontaurs began to organize into kingdoms, though they still referred to themselves as tribes. During this time one Minotaur tribe, the Tárvénos, lead by the Minotaur, Eryatiró Tárvénos, began attacking the other tribes and uniting them and after many years of war created the Skoúrýkos Empire and became it's first emperor. After some time had pasted the empire had grown very large and had adopted the practice of slavery, enslaving mostly Humans and Tai’Shoni, so they may build their grand cities made of marble and stone. This would cause some Minotaurs to leave Mortvügg believing that it is weak to own slaves, as the slaves would do all the work while the Minotaurs became lazy and fat. These Minotaurs eventually found their way to Ærellion and founded small kingdoms or city-states on the southeastern coast. Eventually the use and mistreatment of slaves lead to the Minotaur's downfall forcing them to either flee to Ærellion, into the large forest near the Áthiav̱ros Mountains, or in nations that would help the refugees. Since the fall, the Minotaurs on Mortvügg have reverted back into their tribal way and try to stay out of the way of other when possible, but they filled with rage for the slaves that had risen up against them and hope one day they will get their revenge. The Minotaurs on Ærellion have split into two groups, those that except the refugees from Mortvügg and those who see them as potential threats to the lives they built over the years. The ones that didn't like the Minotaurs from Mortvügg decided to leave due to ostracization they began to experience from those that excepted the Mortvügg refugees, traveling west into the savanna where they established new nations but soon came into conflict with the Orcs and Dark Elves.
