Minotaurs

Written by Mystic.m

Description

The minotaurs of Thuria are giant, bull-like humanoids and strike fear into the hearts of many. They are carnivorous hunters, preferring the flesh of humans to that of other creatures. Though not very intelligent, they are incredibly cunning adversaries who possess an uncanny sense of direction, making them adapt at exploring the mazes and caverns of their homes, which they often lure their prey into. A notable number of minotaur can be found within the Labyrinth of the Underdark. Though strong and capable, minotaurs are solo hunters and typically do not have the safety of a group to rely upon. This, coupled with the fact that they worship a demonic deity, makes them a large target of slaughter and slavery. Some even prefer to capture minotaurs and hunt them in groups to repay them in kind for their own practices. Whatever the outcome, the relationship between minotaurs and other humanoid races is incredibly strained and usually doesn’t end well. Minotaurs are considered to have a barbaric culture, and were once thought to have been cursed by the deity that they worship to be human men turned into the bull-like creatures that they are now. The recent sightings of female minotaurs have proved that idea to be false. The Minotaurs in Divinium have often been used as the perfect challengers for arena battles. They are used and trained when captured and molded into a strong gladiator for the noble's enjoyment. Some who show loyalty are rewarded with promotions making them often into guards and even vailed knights of high caliber nobles. Female Minotaurs however are used in other ways, especially since minotaurs have claimed one nation in the south later in their life in Divinium. Legione Mozzarle is the home of the most neutral-aligned minotaurs and they are an economic powerhouse by the production of cheeses and milk, as female minotaurs have been said to create the most delicious milk in all of Divinium. Through trade and even renting out their princesses and noble milking cows to other nations their image of barbaric monsters later changed to be the best people to have at a breakfast.

When creating a Minotaur, their alignment falls within Lawful Neutral to Chaotic Evil. We encourage players wishing to break alignment arcs to journal their characters' experiences that lead up to it.
