Minotauran Nation

Minotauren Culture and Mythology
The earliest history of the tauros is recorded in a series of myths. These chronicle the period of time from the creation of the world to the appearance of the centaur, speaking of the creation of the tauros by their creators, their meeting with the Father, and the coming of the centaur.

Though the noble tauros are peaceful in nature, the rites of the Great Hunt are venerated as the heart of their spiritual culture. The tauros have adopted an animistic religion, venerating Earthmother and Sun Father. Every tauros, warrior or otherwise, seeks identity as both a hunter and as a child of the Earthmother. Tauros, young or otherwise, seek to prove their bravery by setting themselves against the creatures of the wild. Despite killing the animals, the tauros are taught never to waste anything given to them by nature and to give back what they can. They learn the fine balance that exists in nature and that if they honor the Earthmother, she will bless them in return.

Despite their enormous size and brute strength, the remarkably peaceful tauros cultivate a quiet, tribal society. However, when roused by conflict, tauros are implacable enemies who will use every ounce of their strength to smash their enemies under hoof. They are noble and proud and have never, despite significant adversity in the past, succumbed to their enemies. Like the orcs, the tauros now struggle to retain their sense of tradition and noble identity.
