Centaurs




Creatures half man, half horse. Composed with the upper half of humans with the lower body and legs of horses. They range through all colors and sizes, just as horses do, though their geographical location seems to affect their physical attributes. They generally live in herds in wild areas but the occasional hermit or loner can be found. Both ferocious in combat and learned in skilled trade they are powerful warriors and wise healers. Unbeaten in their mastery of archery, children of other races are often sent to them for tutoring and individual centaurs are not unknown in human areas acting as healers and teachers of the young.


These creatures are available as a playable race.

Minotaurs



Large, muscular creatures, half man and half bull. Living far away from large settled areas, these creatures often live in loosely knit groups or camps presided over by the strongest male as long as he can hold his power. Short tempered and easily angered it is unwise to insult one. Warlike and hostile, they are powerful in battle and dangerous enemies to make. They tend to live on the fringes of the Empire, much to the relief of the human populations.

Nymphs

Dryads



Female tree nymphs that inhabit a myriad of different species of foliage. Long lived, they are however tied to the trees that are their homes and though they can attain human forms they are unable to stray far from their tree and so are generally seen sitting in the branches or merged with the plant itself. Often like young women, they can be precocious and teasing but turn feirce if their trees are threatened.

Naiads



Nymphs who's element is freshwater, weither it be fountains, wells, springs, streams, or brooks. Like their cousins in the trees, Naiads are tied to the source of water she presides over and if the source dried up she would likewise die. Naiads can make their way to the sea, but cannot linger in salt water for long. Usually more mature seeming than their land bound relatives they are also harder to coax out.

Nereids



Nymphs who reside in the open ocean. Not as often seen as other types of nymphs they are the daughters of lesser sea deities. They are more friendly than their other water dwelling cousins and are helpful to sailors struggling in stormy seas.

Pegasus



Intelligent, winged horses. They live in herds ranging all over the known Empire and groups can go from a few individuals to a far larger number. They are sometimes taken as beast animals by other races but do not adapt well to captivity and are not overly trusting of outsiders in general. They are formidable in combat and the stallions especially will fiercely fight for their territory. They vary in body type and can be any color natural horses take, but the most prized among themselves seems to be the white of their forebear. They are beloved of Poseidon/Neptune.

Satyrs



Creatures with the upper torso of a human, but with the legs of a goat or of deer. Short and hale they wear usually small horns among croppings of thick curly hair atop their heads. Lighthearted and playful, these creatures usually make their homes in wooded areas somewhat removed from large human settlements. They are fond of food, drink, dancing, and music and are masters in the last. They are beloved of Pan and to a lesser extent, Dionysus/Bacchus.

Sirens



Particularly dangerous nymphs, these creatures make their homes on the shores of outlying islands. Using their hypnotic song they lure passing ships to wreck on the rocks. They are females with the head of women and the bodies of birds. The islands where these creatures live are mostly documented by the Empire and seagoing ships are well advised to pass around them.

Cyclops



A primordial race of giants, with only a single eye that rests in the center of their forehead. These creatures reside far from civilized settlements preferring island homes and isolated mountain caves where they are usually not bothered. They are solitary, even among their own kind and rarely meet for any reason. Strong, stubborn, and short tempered they are best left to their own devices.

Gorgons



Vicious monsters who are thankfully very little seen by men. It is unknown just how many exist but it is not though to be many and they keep their lairs far from the homes of civilized men. The Gorgons are terrible female monsters with snakes for hair, fangs, brass hands, and a gaze that can turn anything it encounters to stone, even after death.

Harpies



Winged bird women, cruel and horrible, these creatures are not a welcome sight to civilized men. They have crooked, sharp talons, an old womans ugly face and breasts and are opportunistic killers like vultures. They often taunt and stalk travelers, making journeys hampered by them a burden. They are easily driven off a sufficient show of force and those traveling in numbers need not fear them.

Hydra



Large serpent like creatures who inhabit lakes and other large bodies of freshwater. Solitary but temperamental if provoked, their blood is a potent poison and they are able to breath noxious gas from their mouth/s. If residing in a lake close to a settlement they will often attack herds of cattle and villagers, prompting action to be taken to remove the creature. This can be tricky as each time its head is cut off two grown back in its place. The only way to stop this from happening is to cauterize the place where the head was before it has a chance to grow back.
