New Heritage: Minotaur

New Heritage
MINOTAUR
By Patrick Harrington
Minotaurs are a tall brawny race of bullheaded people. They average
around seven feet tall, not counting the horns, and typically weigh
between 350 and 600 pounds. Their fur is most commonly brown
but minotaurs are occasionally born with hues of grey, red or black.
Some clans of minotaurs count important victories with gold ring
earrings. Others use the art tattooing or ritual scarification to detail
the important moments in their lives, such as great battles won, or
to indicate other achievements, such as successfully raising many
children to adulthood or brokering a peace treaty between clans.

great strife, and their culture
is very martially oriented. Minotaurs are fierce warriors, utilizing
long swords called kardas. Their natural bulk enables them to wear
heavy armor, and they have raised a special breed of mounts called
Toubous which they ride into battle, as few normal horses can
bear the weight of a minotaur in full battle gear. Toubous resemble
large wolf like creatures with blue fur with streaks of red.
Minotaur clans are often hired by lords to be used as security
forces or small private armies, though they can be difficult to
manage, as it is considered a stain on one’s personal honor to
pursue an unworthy foe in Minotaur culture.

New Heritage: Minotaur

Hospitality in minotaur culture is considered to be absolute.

When entering a minotaur’s home guests are given a small
piece of meat and salt to be consumed. Once the meat and salt
is consumed the guest is considered to be members of their
household. Minotaurs never break the rites of hospitality as
violating them would provoke the wrath of their gods, Fragath
the Bull and Rawgath the Warrior.
Minotaurs subside mainly on a fish and rice diet and are known
for their love of spicy cuisine. They raise goats for dairy products and
meat. They eat an herb known as Ergad to supplement their diet.
Minotaur recreation is based mainly around martial training.
But minotaurs enjoy a game of their own devising called Crash.
It’s an asymmetric war game with very few rules. Masters of Crash
are well respected in Minotaur society and are often groomed for
leadership positions.
Magic is not respected among minatours. It is
accepted as a necessary tool but it is rare to
see a magic user rise to leadership.

Culture
A minotaur’s word is their
life, and as such they are
careful about giving it
freely. Minotaurs who
pledged themselves in
service are often willing
to die before breaking
their word. Minotaurs
who break their word
are hunted down by
their clans and have
their horns removed.

However, only a few Minotaurs each year are permitted to

clan elders can be fierce.
The historic foe of the Minotaur is a race of wolf-people named
Deniz Kurdu. These sea raiders are known as ferocious fighters
but lack the coordination between packs to become a serious
threat. Minotaurs respect their fighting spirit but disapprove of
their lack of discipline.
