The Centaur is half-human, half-horse, caught between the two natures they are the embodiment of untamed nature, as in their battle with their kin, and conversely, teachers.
About
With the upper body of a human and the lower body and legs of a horse, Centaurs are thought as being as wild as untamed horses.
Centaurs are a race of simple hunter-gatherers with strong ties to the earth. Although generally peaceful, they are highly territorial and will attack and run down any who provoke them. They live a nomadic existence, travelling in herds of extended families of both young and old. Across the great plains and slopes of the wilds roam the centaurs.
Armoured and equipped with heavy two-handed sword or clubs, centaurs are powerful, but not very bright.
When they take to battle, most centaurs use their hunting tools. Many carry heavy two-handed weapons, normally used to fight the beasts of the Mammoth Steppe, but also more than capable of bisecting a man. Others make use of sturdy bows, firing on the move with deadly accuracy. Those who lead the centaur herds are marked for greatness. The wise individuals have fought for many long years and would see their people survive, whatever comes to pass.
The centaurs act as scouts and outriders for the Forces of Nature. They can cover great distances quickly and are commonly employed by the druids to look into threats and report back from ongoing conflicts. This suits the centaurs fine, allowing them to satisfy their wanderlust and protect their way of life.
Elementals of the earth are a stark contrast to the centaurs who they share their realms with. Made of rock and soil, these lumbering constructs are slow and almost peaceful in their existence. Although a single blow from one of these giants can flatten just about any foe, they are rarely summoned as fighters. Their stone bodies render them almost indestructible, so the earth elementals will commonly act as defenders rather than attackers. It is this role that forms the link between the centaurs and the elementals of the earth – the desire to protect the world and their kind
