Minotaurs
A hulking, hooved figure, topped with large, front-facing horns. Their skin shines like copper, bronze, brass, and even gold---as if they were cast in a mold by the god who granted them this form.
It is said that the Peoples of Hunaren were a thriving folk, dedicated to Ixen and Edar. They dug deep in the rich mines and forged great works of craftsmanship.
Then, one day, a vision came upon the island. During a great celebration in honor of Ixen, a towering figure appeared from the flames of the bonfire. It spoke to the Peoples in the name of Ixen, and offered them a reward for their hard work and dedicated worship. Minos, Lord of the Forge, beckoned the Peoples to step into the flame and be reforged in his image. The bravest among them stepped into the flame and emerged with bodies made of metal. They had become the children of Minos.
And as the bravest stepped out from the bonfire, they saw the truth. The volcano at the center of their island had erupted and destroyed their cities. Only the children of Minos remained.
