Lore
The upper torso, arms, and head of a centaur are human, while the lower body is that of a horse. The coloration of the horse part is usually brown, though rare breeds of other colors do exist. The human half can have any of the vast colorations that one can normally encounter with humans.
Centaurs gather in tribes on the plains they inhabit. Although they build structures to support their society, only a few tend to stay in them, as most of the tribe usually wanders and sleeps outside. The majority of centaur tribes live in the Plains of Karana, though scattered tribes can be found elsewhere, and small groups wander all of Norrath and Luclin.
Centaurs are normally peaceful by nature, co-existing with other races such as human homesteaders or aviaks. They do avoid the gnolls in the southern Plains of Karana, yet take them down whenever a chance arises. The gnolls are more populous and reach much further, so the centaurs are careful not to anger them too much, lest the gnolls and their dark spirits come and make war upon the centaurs' already small tribes. Likewise, the gnolls have learned that leaving these galloping archery experts alone is usually best.
Centaurs value strength and craft. They enjoy contests of strength and speed and often compete among themselves in sport. They also compete in the making of various crafts. Centaurs are known for their fine armor, which they are willing to trade to those warriors who prove themselves worthy. Centaurs also enjoy developing their skill in the art of archery, and competitions for archery are just as common as those for strength and speed. They occasionally gather hunts together to go after a lion or a rogue elephant. There is some sport in these hunts, but mainly they are for food and clothing, and for the younger centaur foals to prove their worth.
