Centaur

The proud race of creatures known as centaurs combines the speed and strength of horses with the determination and intelligence of humans. Their upper bodies allow them to wield weapons for hunting or warfare, while their lower bodies allow them to traverse great distances at tremendous speed or to trample an enemy underfoot.
Powerful and curious, those horselike creatures love wide spaces and the freedom to travel. As much as they can, centaurs run — in Green earth wild plains, Hot savanna, and verdant forest. They race the wind, hooves thundering and tails streaming behind them, and are the embodiment of freedom. The tribe, running with the wind for days on end, often end up crossing the frontier to the Lightfoot land, or sometimes even to Tana's empire.

Culture

You might never encounter centaurs out in the wild. However, if they are too old or weak to travel, a lone centaur may end up living in a humanoid settlement. These noble individuals are often revered in the community for their knowledge of the world and ability to read natural omens. While in this settlement they are unable to reproduce by natural means. Some can find happiness in this new life but other seek purpose as they are separated from the herd.
