Minotaur
Minotaur's are the native species to the central region of Fandelian Parishes.
Originally bolstering a population of over 75,000, their numbers were outrageously diminished during The War of Opinion leaving only about 3,000 still alive today.
Their horns can be ground up to make the drug Hero Dust, which leads bandits and criminal organizations to pillage minotaur grave sites.

Civilization and Culture
History
In recent history, the Minotaur tribes united and allied with the Kingdom of Fandaniel during the The War of Opinion due to their villages and settlements being constantly raided by the advancing Mitfordian Confederacy.
However, because of their effective combat prowess minotaur legions were often delegated to the front lines and were overused. This lead to the near decimation of the minotaur race, with many tribes being lost forever - such as the Brighthorn and Clovehoof tibes.
Because of this sacrifice the subjects of Fandaniel revere minotaur as heroes, albeit superficially as the Kingdom has not provided official aide after the war.
The surviving tribes struggle with the march towards extinction as their numbers slowly dwindle, resulting in many tribes sending their few able-bodied youths out into the world in the hopes they can obtain and return with resources to prolong their survival.
