half naked, the Centauri look like males of their parent Racefrom the waist up, the rest of their body is that of a massiveand sturdy horse. They give the impression of savages and

brutes but can be quite pleasant to have around.Architecture: Centauri make their homes outside the

forests, the open green fields more suitable to their physiologyand lifestyle. That said, they follow the Region line as far asstyle goes and their stables blend in with the surroundings, asmuch as its possible, since more often than not they are builton small hills to allow them to supervise their area easier.

up in any festivity whether they were invited or not. Eventhough there have been troubles, the other Races tolerate suchoutbreaks as the elder Centauri make excellent teachers for theyoung.

Centaur nation, but each group is under the command of a

Hoofmaster. When the Guide is killed, the Hoofmasters engagein a tournament, a contest of skill, strength and knowledge, inorder to earn the rank.

Chaos aligned order while they tend to stay away from Order ones. Nature and Life orders are as popular as staying out of any order is. Individual Centauri take pride in their choice of non-involvement in any order.

Half-Elves do not have a hierarchy of their own. Most of thetimes they claim positions of authority within the mixedsociety they choose to live in. Due to their wanderlusthowever, they never keep it for long.

Half-OrcsAlso Known As: HalfwitsAppearance: An ugly bunch, by Human standards,

Half-Orcs are muscular, with overgrown lower teeth andgreenish skin. What little hair they have is black and their orange eyes show hints of something not being right with their

thick skulls. Usually hairy and smelling bad.Architecture:Arts & Entertainment:Calendar:Crime & Legal SystemDaily Life: A bit on the slow side, most Half-Orcs are

dumb and they prefer smashing first and asking questions later,if at all They are easily insulted and fast to draw blade. Theyare persistent and will stop at almost nothing to get their pointthrough.

Diet & Eating Customs:Fashion & Dress:Foreign Relations: Since nobody actually likes the

Half-Orcs, they have to make a living by hiring themselves asmercenaries. Excellent bruisers, they make good bodyguardsfor Sorcerers. When not in the company of other Half-Orcsthey are looking for a fight.

Favored Classes:Government: Since they lack the ability to think for

themselves, Half-Orcs have no hierarchy. Instead, they followthe orders of whoever is strong enough to impress them, or wealthy enough to hire them as bodyguards. When in a society,they are usually the ones to break the rules first.

Magic & TechnologyMedicine

Philosophy:Population: Though they can reach the age of 500, they

usually meet an early end in one incident or the other, as theaccidental fall in a lava lake, steel poisoning, or a head onsprint on a wall in order to win a bet. In short, its extremelyrare to find a Half-Orc over 200.

HarpiesAlso Known As: FeatherheadsAppearance: Slender, with taloned hand and feet,

Harpies have no hair, only feathers. Most of them quitestunning by Human standards, they have bird eyes and sharpfangs that make them look rather unnerving.

harpies are hard to anger but when and if they lose control,whoever was responsible is better off in another Region.Vindictive to the core, they will stop at nothing to get back atthe one who wronged them. They can be very caring andcompassionate with those they care about.

Diet & Eating Customs:Fashion & Dress: Usually going from simple and

practical clothes. They avoid jewelry and for obvious reasonsdon't care much for gloves or shoes of any kind.

Foreign Relations: Not the most social of the bunch,Harpies will mingle when they have to but won't mindspending even weeks on their own. They tend to either flock together or join groups of their parent Races. As most Half-breeds, they are not always welcomed and sometimes arelooked down upon.

Favored Classes:Government: Since Harpies are spawned from Avians,

they tend to follow the hierarchy model of their Avian parentrace, at least as much as the society they are in allows that.Their non-Avian parent race often dictates how close to that

hierarchy model they stay.Magic & TechnologyMedicinePhilosophy:Population: Depending on the Race of their parents,

Harpies can live from 100 to 1000 years. The one thing allHarpies have in common is that they never look over than 50,with aging slowing down accordingly. As they get older their feathers turn gray or white and their hands and feet get morebird-like.
