Two guilds to explore
Two guilds that suit this race’s attributes. Their skills and abilities develop as you train.
Centaur wilder
Wilders of Aegic
Bring fierce axe fighting together with hunting, camping and totem rites. Wilders learn to survive far from the shelter of a city.
Centaurs are one of the most mysterious races in the valley of Icesus. They have body of a horse, but the upper body has human torso, head and arms. Centaurs usually live in meadows and forests with deciduous trees. They usually live in small nomadic bands that wander around gathering food from the nature and by hunting. Bands are lead by the strongest male in the band. He is the law in the band and he leads it in hunting, battles and every day life.
Many other races count them as a beast men and simple race as they do not usually wear clothes, build houses or other permanent settlement or perform any arts. The truth is that they are no more simple than normal humans, they just don't have a need for those stuff. Those who do cover themselves favour rough hides and fur wraps suited to their wandering lives. They are very skilled musicians but they hide their rituals and other events where the music is played carefully from outsiders. It is known that they are highly skilled with the lyre. They often perform ceremonies to uphold the nature which gives them everything they ever need to survive.
