Centaur
Centaurs are the horse-folk of Vitaea, a Landborn heritage with a humanoid upper body set on a four-legged, hooved frame. Their line runs back to the True Sylvari, and like the other beastfolk they owe their sapience to the Great Awakening.
Appearance
Section titled “Appearance”A centaur stands about seven feet tall and weighs around 750 pounds, which makes them one of the larger Vitaean peoples. Their coats run through greys, whites, browns and blacks.
Society and Culture
Section titled “Society and Culture”Centaurs are counted among the Terkon Clans, the nomadic tribes of large beastfolk who roam the grassy steppes alongside rhino-folk and elephant-folk. Those clans range from wandering herders to monastic farming communities, and they compete hard for territory.
Homeland
Section titled “Homeland”Centaurs are associated with Shelloun and with the steppes of Tarkir, a thinly settled land of nomads and scattered monasteries.
Life Cycle
Section titled “Life Cycle”A centaur lives around 75 years.
Relations
Section titled “Relations”Their nearest neighbors on the steppe are the Rhoken and the Loxodon, fellow members of the clans, with whom they trade and compete in turn.
Among the Aethyrsparked
Section titled “Among the Aethyrsparked”Centaurs are not currently offered as a heritage for Aethyrsparked characters, so for now they appear in play as neighbors, rivals and allies rather than as player characters.
