Klaurian (centaur)
Klaurians are centaur like beasts which are a cross of either horse, deer or elk, and human. Rarely are elves able to intermingle their blood, but it does sometimes happen. The Klaurians were nearly made extinct in the battles with the Orrish and when Dundaria fell. They are incredibly robust and hardy warriors and devout followers of the Wyld Faith. Their greatest warriors all possess elk horns which are anointed and sacred objects, used in battle against their foes with extreme potency and grisly results.
Klaurians are organized into clans or ‘herds’. They get tattoos to identify their clan, family and self.
Many are followers of Ikribu (35%) – known as ‘Thunder Hooves’; 40% worship the horse mother Epona. Like Ducateon, the Klaurian peoples have faith based on sound – dance and song.
Weapons: Use a war bow made of strong sinew of a Klaurian priest that makes a cracking sound – called a thunder bow; it requires a 7 MUS to pull it and a 2m or taller character. Arrows do an extra base 3 with AP / shorter range
Biology
Half Klaurian babies take the species of the mother to ensure an easy birth that does not kill them. Humanoid offspring have vaguely horse-like features – “horse face”, large with thick brownish skin, with an emphasis on physical attributes over mental.
