Origins
The Minotaurs were the first of Jakular's forays into creating intelligent life. He wanted to create something similar to the other sapient races while retaining His own image. The result of those desires were the Minotaurs. Unfortunately, since this was His earliest successful attempt, there were still some significant flaws. The Minotaurs are fiercely terretorial, and have some issues with unchecked aggression. This is particularly true of the larger Minotaurs.
Regions
The Minotaurs have taken well to the Hammershard mountains. This has caused some strife with the Dwarves, who claim the mountains as part of their cultural inheritance from Halfar.
Stereotypes
| Stereotype | Why this Stereotype Exists |
|---|
| Minotaurs will kill anyone they find in their mountains. |
The Minotaurs can be welcoming to visitors so long as those visitors show proper deferrance and respect their culture. Those who cannot or do not often find themselves as sacrifices to Jakular. |
| Minotaurs are unintelligent. |
The Minotaurs that most people have... interactions with are the warriors that have been deemed too dangerous to spend extensive periods of time in Minotaur settlements. As a result, most people's mental image of Minotaurs is impacted by some of their worst. |
| Minotaurs have little self-restraint. |
Like the belief that they are unintelligent, this is mostly formed on a flawed assumption that most Minotaurs act as their warriors do. |
